[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a boss, I agree completely with those who say that if you admit your mistake, fix it and learn from it, you'll be fine.  Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone has an occasional bad day.  The only employees who drive me crazy are the ones who want to argue about how it wasn't really a mistake, and if it was a mistake, it was someone else's fault, etc etc.  What that tells me is that the employee is going to keep making the same mistake over and over again, because they didn't learn anything.  I can teach someone who lacks knowledge.  I can't teach someone who refused to admit that they need to learn anything.  I've been in my business for fifteen years, and I'm still learning. [/quote]

Also a boss here and totally agree with the above statement. I would also add employees who mess up, admit it but ask for constant reassurance because they realized they messed up drive me nuts. OP, once you get a response back from your boss about whether you can try to correct your mistake, let it go. Do not keep bringing this issue up in hopes your boss will ease your worried mind.
