Attention to Detail (Taking Things Too Seriously)

You'd think that it would be easy, just following directions, but it requires concentration, and there are so many points where one can screw up, potentially ruining a batch and wasting hours of work.

"I'm sure you did fine, and even if you didn't, it's a learning... what's wrong?" Katie says, as I almost collapse, folding in half at the waist, my knees buckling.

"I forgot to add the maple syrup," I say, covering my face with my hands.
