Bummer about the bad day at work, I know that feeling oh so well.
As for proof reading, that's sometimes my job, and I'll pick up a lot, but miss the odd thing as well. It happens.
You probably don't remember but years ago there was a big stink about an ad that ran in a local paper, or it may have been the Auckland Star. The person had a problem with the word "coconut" and she often typed "cococunt". It got picked up at proofreading stage sometimes, but one time it did go through. Full page ad, nice big font for a shop selling cococunts for whatever price. hahaha. The chick who'd done it got phone calls from Germany. This was before the internet. Funny as hell, the shop got good coverage so were happy, but that was the least of their problems as they went pop not long after. No, I wasn't proofreader or typesetter, I just worked with her and caught her out another time with it.
Now, calling Rich odd isn't that bad, and those that know any of us would agree we're all odd. Nothing to stress about, and stop kicking yourself. I still think what the two of you did was a great idea.
