history: I was walking on the job site last week and talking to a coworker when I stepped into a hole that I didn't see. I ended up falling and spilling my coffee all over me. Last week I was walking and talking to one of my coworkers and I stepped into a hole I did not see on the job site. I ended up falling and spilling hot coffee all over myself in front of our client. Ouch! Did they try to help you back up?
current: Yeah, my coworker did, but the damage had already been done. Pretty big shot to the ego to look like such a fool in front of your client.
next: Of course! Well, at least you also looked human. We all make mistakes.
