Eye Rite Gud

I don't talk much about work, but I want to go on record saying that I'm not satisfied with my ability to get things right the first time. That's key for editors--the later you notice a problem, or change your mind about whether a problem exists, the more loudly it's going to be amplified. I spotted something today at the last possible moment, and while it's still fixable and will not cause crisis (it wouldn't have if it had been printed, frankly), I'm pretty sure the team's disappointed with me.

We all have an error rate, and we don't always have the time or concentration necessary to connect every dot. There are going to be cock-ups. The goal is to get their numbers as low and as insignificant as possible, and that's goal number one for me in the coming months. Assuming my ass isn't fired. *knocks wood*
