Thanks G-Dog, it sucks but it's being handled which is the most important thing in my book. I value transparency as you know, so when I screw up, that's what my clients expect of me - that's why they hired this company in the first place. Reputation matters wherever you go like you say.
I'm just so glad that there is a fix. It could have been SO much worse. We'll see how it pans out.
Thanks for the kindness. It's appreciated. You know I'm not particularly forgiving of myself when I do this kind of stupid shit. Sound like someone you know perchance?
If you get to work and find your stuff in a box out the front then you know things didn't go well. I think you'll go ok though, ownership is valued by good leaders.
Just don't go beating your head on a brick wall as punishment, you might break the wall. Trust me, I've done it a time or two. There's better ways to go, like finding solutions and moving towards them.
