Hear hear! Very refreshing. I stress out every time I send out work, and every time, the customer is amazed with the work I did. It's just like that corner in the living room where you missed a square inch of painting...it looks terrible to you, but nobody else will ever notice.

I quickly learned to stop pointing out what I see as defects - sorta counterproductive, LOL. I do, however, guarantee my work...if you can prove that another guy can get it done better, you get your money back. If this ever happens, then I'll try and find out how he does it, so it's a win-win.

Strive for perfection, but don't lose any sleep over it.
