It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I madea serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-widee-mail — which,    11  , he wrote because hefelt he needed to explain that what I did was something    12   inthe company should ever do. I wish I    13   givea good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain itsomehow —    14   it on youth,inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m    15  ,experienced and I know better.

   16   I work with some very kind andcompassionate (富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days manyof them have taken time to    17   by mydesk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with mesimilar    18   they have made. EvidentlyI’m not the only “   19  ” person here.

One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois,the much-honored, much-respected professional who    20   thedesk right next to mine. Lois was completely    21   abouther work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would    22   tosuch an extremely embarrassing incident.

As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the    23   whenshe saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,    24   withempathetic consideration. She listened to my    25  .Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly toa(n)    26  .

“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can doto    27   that. It happened. But it’sover now. It’s    28  . It’s in the past. Youneed to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her    29   toher work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”

I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need toremember those    30   words: It’s over.It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.
