More than our achievements, it’s our failures that bring us closer together. We’ve all had moments of exquisite inexperience, where our lack of expertise was more memorable than if we actually got the job done correctly. That’s why April’s theme is “Amateurs.” Bring us your stories of starting out and screwing up. When’s the last time you had to learn something from the ground up? How was your first day at a new job? Tell us of the time you tried something for the first time, without the slightest clue where to start.
