You finish giving a presentation at work.

Later, someone catches you in the hallway.

“That was really good.”

“Thanks.”

“No, seriously. You did a great job.”

You feel yourself starting to smile.

Then you remember the slide you messed up.

“I completely screwed up the numbers on that third slide.”

“I didn’t even notice.”

“And I forgot half of what I was going to say at the end.”

They laugh.

“Well, I thought it was great.”

“Thanks.”

You walk back to your desk.

A few minutes later, someone else stops by.

“Great presentation.”

You shake your head.

“Apparently nobody noticed the third slide.”
