<human>: On a job interview I attended, I was interviewed by a department head and the HR manager. After introductions, we got into the interview, the usual, him asking me about my skills, discussing what he was looking for. In the middle of this, I realize that I could not recall his name, so I'm there trying to remember it while this is going on. Worrying that it would come up and they would be annoyed I couldn't keep that in memory. After a minute, the HR manager addresses the department head by name, and I'm relieved, I put it back in memory properly.

I did not get the job, but I learned my lesson. I didn't have the experience in a main duty the job would entail (Exchange server management), but at least I lost out because of that, not because I couldn't do something as simple as remember my interviewer's name.

What are your 'near misses'? When you made a mistake or neglected something, but it got set right before anyone else realized, and it would have been pretty bad for you if that did happen?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Job interview, forgot interviewer's name, other interviewer called them by name before anyone could realize I forgot. Got away from embarrassment, what's yours?
