Back when we ran machines by feel, I tipped a scraper trying to show off. Boss still brings it up.

Mistakes like that stick with you for years. Bosses never let you live down the early screw-ups. Just shows how much we learned the hard way back then.

Funny how the mistakes stick with you way more than your boss ever could.

Yeah, that line about mistakes sticking with you more than bosses really hits home lol. I can recall every dumb error I made early on, but my boss from that job is just a blur. What is it about those moments that gets glued in your brain forever? Is it the shame or just how much you learned the hard way?

Totally. I once dropped a whole tray of parts trying to move too fast. The sound of them hitting the floor still makes me cringe twenty years later. You just never forget that hot flash of panic.
