Twelve years of "sorry, can I start again". Went in last week, made a mess of a line, kept going, did not apologize once. Did not book it. Do not care.

    This is a bigger deal than booking it, genuinely. That habit takes years to break.

    The apology is the thing that tells them you are watching yourself rather than doing the scene. Well done.

    I still do it. Reading this as a note to self.

    Congratulations. Twelve years and you are still finding new things to fix, which is the actual job.
