I had an important assignment to do but I got caught up doing other stuff. When I realized I missed the deadline I went up to the Chief and told him "I screwed up" and explained what happened. He just looked at me and said "No one was harmed or killed so it's good. Just get it done." The Chief was the best boss I ever had.
