When is an error not an error and merits an adjective like, let’s say…egregious? (Another post suggestion, paronomaniac?) Mistakes are part of life….especially during that big’ol work part of life. Some are intentional (like Metal Machine Music, Trans, any alter ego oeuvre), most not. Many are embarrassing (like this quickie bizarro marriage, this cringe-worthy turn of phrase, this enduring on-the-record-stumble, the list grows….) some re-couped their pride expenses and flipped the sitch switch, Judo-style, to their benefit…like this well-coiffed lad, this spunky songwriting legend, or this pitch-challenged pop-cult footnote.
Frustrating when the mistakes are (to me) no-brainers - typos on resumes, missed appointments & the like. These are the free throws of the office - it’s hygiene. Not-recruiting/hiring/interviewing-related-work, life, music & friends are all batting .500, though. So in the grand scheme of things…grateful that this is a preoccupation (witnessing this puts things into perspective)….Anywhoo - here are some work tunes, literally.
