Making Mistakes

People don't set out to make mistakes.

Unless you're dealing with a deranged person, people don't set out to make your life harder.

The reason I'm not upset about working late because I caught a mistake that "someone else should have caught" is simple:

This is why we work on teams. We work together, bringing a variety of different strengths to the outcome we seek to create. Together makes our collective work better.

This is *the reason we work on teams.

Together, we will get things corrected and we'll get a clean document that we're proud of to our client.

We can be proud of our work, but more importantly, I think, we can be proud of our team-work.

The buck stops here.
