Get the Mistakemug. This theory recognizes that humans are not perfect and that for every mistake in a model or schedule
there will be another "mistake" in somewhat equal scope to offset each other, hence rendering the model or budget still valid.
The idea behind is that things will anyway fall the way they fall and we cannot control for that.
The optimistic view is that this theory rejects Murphy's Law, the negligent take on it is the "Trust me, it will be OK" approach to life.
Decide where you want to be.

A misfire or mistake so sad or pathetic that you question if they went into a vegetative state when doing it.
My coworker decided it would be a good idea to bring balloons to our boss's funeral. A critical mistake that would cost him his job.
