Everyone makes mistakes

It's incredible how many times you can check and recheck something, and there will always be another mistake! Right now I'm in the middle of a huge project at work. My job is fill 600 seats for an event the College is hosting on November 19. It is the premiere of a 20-minute music video composed by the School of Music and FIU Theatre in response to the Virginia Tech tragedy with a message for the future.My main goal is reach out to mainly students, but we are inviting a number of Miami City Officials and of course FIU faculty and administration.So back to my topic: A flyer was created by, well lets just keep the name anonymous (but know that this is a salary-paid employee). The first draft had, of course, a number of mistakes. He went back and corrected them. Second draft; I went to Photoshop myself and made the corrections. I send it back to make sure everything is accurate, I get the approval and off I go sending e-vites to over 200 people.Apparently, we misspelled the name of our special guest: the Chancellor of the State University System of Florida!

Well luckily fixed the name along with two other corrections that needed to be made, before we sent it to the printers to get flyers and invitations made.

I guess the saying “Everyone makes mistakes” applies to professionals as well!
