Oh man, I did that too to one of my tenors. I was home with the flu for almost a week. (Remember those innocent days?) And had taken my afternoon meds: a strong cough syrup, antihistamine, and prednisone. Couldn't go to sleep so I got the brilliant idea to mount a strap button to the side of the heel. I used another uke to make sure I was placing it correctly for the straps use. Double checked it twice. Yet in my somewhat fevered codeine state I still managed to start drill on the wrong side of the heel. I still have a hard time looking at the hole that mocks me. And reminds me not to work on my ukes when I am in an impaired condition. It only takes once...
At least you can blame it on your impaired state. I have no mitigating circumstances to offer .... I just messed it up.
Now I triple check before drilling.
