I hate it when people feel that venting their own feelings all over some blameless employee is appropriate. Some people suck. :(

Here's hoping for brighter days ahead!

At that point, when such a mistake is made, all you do is do what you do when you did what you did, you know? Those chicks should chill, man, everyone makes mistakes! I understand it's difficult for some folks to get around, but gosh, Do Unto Others.

Years ago, I worked at an easy listening station in my heavily Catholic hometown. Every evening at 6 PM, we'd switch the station over to a feed of someone reading the Rosary for an hour. I forgot to flip the switch a few times, and some older woman would call up saying, "Turn on the goddamn Rosary!!"
