Toe socks are either magic or they're not, no middle ground. Sounds like yours chose violence.

A friend of mine from grad school actually wrote about this on LinkedIn last month. He had a similar situation where a misplaced decimal in a budget proposal cost him a director role at a consulting firm in Boston. The number was off by less than a percent of the total budget, but the hiring manager said it showed a lack of attention to detail. It's funny how one small slip can make people question your whole ability, even when everything else in the report was solid. I bet a lot of managers would miss that typo themselves if they were in your shoes. Still, it's a tough lesson and I'm sorry it happened to you.

Is "spent an hour looking" really that bad though? Streaming has a billion options but nobody can find one thing they want to watch in 60 minutes. Just pick something random or do what you did, it's not like the TV police are coming for you.
