mea culpa

Trying to get a bunch of work done so I can go on vacation (wtf is that?). For a variety of reasons I got roped into sorting production facilities and took a quick look at the audio room. Hmm, lots of stuff in boxes, and some stuff not hooked up. I assume that it isn't functional. What do they say about not assuming? So I send my email around, people get stirred up, then I'm called on the carpet by one of my colleagues because it turns out the room *is* functional, why didn't I ask him, etc yada yada yada. So I have to stand there and take it (because I screwed up), then later send out the "mea culpa" email to my boss and other senior management. At least we sorted out the issues and things are moving forward. But I hate screwing up. Another life lesson here? Always is...just a question if I want to actually see it.
