It can be difficult to own up to your mistakes, especially in a workplace and especially in an industry still suffering from so many layoffs. But it's essential for learning and growth, developing (and re-establishing) trust, and so-on.

It was only after everything was uploaded and scheduled that I realised I should instead have gone with the Creed line "I'm having a little trouble motivating..." for the title of this week's QAuDHD.

Oh well!
