Embarrassing moments....just had one!

[Liz]

Yikes! I feel like such a jerk!

About a week ago I asked my boss if he would track down some CEU's that I earned by attending an all day conference about 6 months ago. I need them to renew my nursing licence in May. The person in charge at the desk couldn't find mine at the time, so took down the information and assured me I would receive the credits shortly. I didn't.

My boss hadn't gotten back to me, so today I emailed him again "just a reminder" sort of thing. He replied that he's been trying to find these credits, has contacted the appropriate persons, etc. and was told there were no credits given out, but he would continue to check it out. I emailed him back to thank him for all he was doing to find these papers. Right after I clicked "send" it occurred to me that I had confused this specific conference with another one I attended shortly afterwards. And my boss was right - there were no certificates given for the one I requested his help on.

The worst part is - I had just confessed to my boss' secretary 2 days ago that I was the culprit who forgot to take the minutes at our monthly directors' meeting. Each director has the responsibility to take minutes JUST once a year. I thought at the time "oh well, so I make a mistake once a year."

Anyone else want to add an embarrassing moment - that would make me feel better?
