I Paid My Father $250 in Rent Every Month for Five Years. After His Funeral, His Best Friend Gave Me a Key and a Box.

On her first day, I showed her the equipment logs and explained how we handled client files.

Then I told her that I expected mistakes while she learned.

What mattered was saying something early enough that we could fix them.

She looked surprised.

“My last supervisor used to say a mistake meant you weren’t cut out for the job.”

“I don’t agree,” I said.
