Oops

There have been some rather high profile mistakes over the past week. What mistakes at your job have you had forgiven?

So last week there was a mistake on The Price is Right as Manuela unveiled the correct price before the game was actually over allowing the contestant a BRAND NEW CAR!

And now today it has been revealed that an upcoming US Postage Stamp for Maya Angelou features a popular quote attributed to her from her 1969 book “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” – which another author is claiming is actually hers. Here’s the stamp:

But according to this report from The Washington Post, childrens book Author Joan Walsh Anguland says the quote is hers from a 1967 book “A Cup of Sun”. The only difference is the punctuation is changed, and instead of “he sings” in Anglund’s original – the quote by Angelou is “it sings” on the stamp. You can read all about it the link from The Washington Post above. What mistakes have you made at work that your bosses turned out they were ok with? 1-866-STAR-983!
