After you had already had to give up a very promising and well-paid job in another city? And now you realize you will never have a really col job and kids at the same time? And you are too old with too much of a broken resume to ever apply to and get into a top business school, which you have only come to realize is essential to having transferrable job skills that people actually want to hire?

I do like your approach more than anything, speaking to the fact that people need to admit when they are wrong. Not the easiest of things but something that can smooth over even some of the worst circumstances. Awesome stuff.

All signs you are both overstressed and tired (though it WAS your cell phone's fault). Yes. The only way to handle a flub-up is to admit and apologize. The only way. It's hard but it shows class.
