It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, 36 , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something 37 in the company should ever do. I wish I 38 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — 39 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m 40 , experienced and I know better.
41 I work with some very kind and compassionate (富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 42 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 43 they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ 44 ” person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 45 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 46 about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would 47 to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the 48 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, 49 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my 50 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n) 51 .
“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to 52 that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s 53 . It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her 54 to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”
I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those 55 words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.
