The staff has had a perfect record to date, and it is hoped that this one slip-up will be explained away as a “twiddledink” and nothing more will come of it.
The staffer responsible for this lapse has been sent to HR for retraining and re-assignment. After a thorough investigation, it has been determined that no mistakes were made at the senior staff level and this incident is not expected to impact quarterly management bonuses.
For a second there I thought this thread was about me! (I’m so vain…) I was wondering what I’d done this time.
(Not that it would have made any sense if it was about me, as I’ve slipped up a heck of a lot more than once over the past ten years, no matter what category you’re talking about. Try ten minutes.)
The other day I ran across a satirical conspiracy theory website exposing the Discovery team’s screwups. An old coke can in the background of one picture, a rusted out model T in another. The implication of course is that the whole thing is taking place not on Mars, but somewhere in the Arizona desert. Can’t find it now, dang it.
