A friend of mine said that to her boss a few weeks ago, and I think it reigns as the all-time best response after making a mistake. What's better, my friend didn't make a mistake. Her boss asked for one thing and then changed her mind.
"I wish I could turn back time." I just like to practice saying it.
Sometimes I wonder if powerful people forget that while us young grasshoppers are willing to learn anything and do most things in hopes for successful careers, at no time are we capable of predicting, controlling, or resolving Manhattan traffic. Or any city traffic, for that matter. But perhaps this is part of the joke: if we could, we probably wouldn't be asked to sit in the same seat for so long.
