"Orders? You giving me orders? Amigo, the only thing in this world that gives orders is boss. Boss. You got that?" (Tony Montana)

As you may or may not know I work as a graphic designer.
Today my boss came up to me and said, " Did you send a proof to the Price group for their Anniversary Invitations?" I had, but first let me tell you more about the job from hell...
This guy came in on a Friday, wants to have the job ready by Monday, yeah 3 days away. We told him that was a no go. Next he wants to make a completely original design for the front cover, taken from a gold emblem that the family owns. That was no fun either. Then he decides he wants to have clovers in the background. Anyways it was a pain in the ass.
I got everything finished and sent him a proof. On the inside of the card there was a mistake I made when typing in the text, but that is why we send a proof to the client. So THEY can proofread it. He missed the mistake, and my boss noticed it as he was finishing the run.
"Well since you sent him a proof and he ok's it we are going to just act like we didn't see it at all!" When I heard those words come out of my boss' mouth I thought, are you serious, I am going to have to say something. I mean it wasn't my fault, he should have caught the mistake, but I know we are going to get a call either later today or Monday and have to deal with it then.
The customer came, I felt like a kid who had just stole some candy, and the customer left. I didn't say anything but then again, I am not the boss. I get it.
