Unreal, that kind of mistake just makes you want to scream. It's like @the_barbara said, those lost clues are a total gut punch. My advice? You have to treat every site like it holds the only copy of a priceless book. Standard practice now is to move at a snail's pace with trowels and brushes anywhere near important layers. Blasting for speed should get you fired on the spot, no questions asked.

That point about checking air quality reports is so true, @cooper.phoenix. I've had trips messed up by bad air near highways, and those reports saved me later. It's a small thing that really helps you stay healthy.

Yeah the worst. I just pick honesty, lies mess things up later.

Bad weather turns everything into a blurry mess.

Passing out is a major red flag. Glad it finally got treated like the serious wake-up call it was.
