Embarrassing moment.

I've been working at this office job as a temporary receptionist for the last couple of months while the receptionist is out on maternity leave. This is my first good job in since June after a depressive episode when i decided to go on a homeless heroin binge for a couple months, then entered treatment, was stabilized on meds, went to a halfway house, saved up, moved into a room at a nice townhouse, stayed sober for 3 months, relapsed last week for a day, came back to AA, and have been doing meetings again.
Well, anyway, i've b een handling the stress of working and paying bills quite well. Everyone at my job seems to like me and my boss (president of a big corp!) told me a couple weeks ago that he wanted to hire me permanent! YEs definetly an answer to my prayers.
Today, a fedex package was delivered to us with the wrong address on it and my immediate boss decided for me to call them and tell them to pick it back up, it was the 1st time i ever did this. While I was on the phone with FE3dex for about 10 min explaining the situation and confirming the tracking number the President called supposedly 6 times but i didn't pick up. In retrospect, i should have put Fedex on hold but i didnt. He then calls the CEO's and a couple other of the bigshots here angry that i didnt pick up the phone for him and they all reprimanded me. I realize that everyone makes mistakes and even though i have been doing a good job here (even showed up to work all week with a cold) i now have feel like i jeoperdiazed my permanent position and am obsessed with the mistake and really embarressed. Life on Lifes terms is beating me down today and im feeling bad. Wanted to get that off my chest.
