Made My Boss Look Bad, How Do I Recover?

Dear Experts, I started working at an accounting firm two months ago and was recently given an assignment by my manager. I completed the assignment before it's due date and presented it to my boss. He forwarded it along to the appropriate party and unfortunately, they caught a mistake. I'm afraid I made my boss look bad. He hasn't treated me the same since and has yet to give me any new assignments. How do I recover from this? Here is how our T.A.P. experts answered this question:Q#345 Have a discussion w ur boss.
