You're right. That does put it all in perspective...

Yesterday, after I incorrectly merged what I thought was a duplicate account (two accounts, same, uncommon name, same field, similar interests. I was 90% sure it was the same person), I was called into my boss's office and told that while this was something that is a giant hassle to correct and I should never do it again, in the grand scheme of things it wasn't a huge deal. This was her reasoning:

We've merged around 18,000 accounts since I [boss] started. This has only happened like four times.

Yes, that makes me feel so much better about my mistake. about 17,996 times better about it. Thanks.
