[[Two workers talk to each other. The foreman is well-dressed; the other is dressed more casually, sitting on the hood of a vehicle of some kind and carrying a wrench.]]
Foreman: I can't BELIEVE we made such a ROOKIE MISTAKE!
Worker: It's okay. Could happen to anyone.
Foreman: No. I'M the foreman! It's MY job to anticipate and PREVENT problems like this.
Worker: We were all taken by surprise. There's no precedent for this sort of thing! Don't be too hard on yourself!
[[An extremely-upset-looking, balding manager enters.]]
Manager: NOW WHAT IN TARNATION HAPPENED HERE
Foreman: It's my fault, sir. Management failure. I take full responsibility.
Worker: All the toilets we installed were full of spiders
[[The manager gestures at the back of the van, on which is painted: "NO SPIDERS" Toilet Installery]]
Manager: You REALIZE that this is VERY EMBARRASSING for us, TAYLOR?!

The computers tell me it was 20 years ago, June 9, 2006, that I arrived in New York for my first-ever comic convention as an exhibitor, MoCCA.
It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.
I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
