I had the hardest job to do this week at work: to apologize. I can handle any work task I’m given and make impossible deadlines and commitments for my clients, but I find it very hard to say the words beginning with, “I’m sorry for…” Well, especially when I know I was right and my co-worker was wrong… She had blamed me for something that I felt was her own fault, and she was being very difficult about it.
