OED

I have just discovered that Google, unlike Microsoft, does not have a site license for the Oxford English Dictionary website.

This has occasioned my most significant regret for my decision to join Google.

(That is to say, things are generally going quite well. More on this later, probably.)

We'll be sure to quote your second sentence out of context when we talk to nosy journalists about your stellar career. ;-)

Actually, I've spent lots of time with people who are very cagy about anything they say on the net or do to get themselves into databases (I even had a sweetie who wouldn't have credit cards -- not out of certainty that there are bad guys, but on the principle that there could at some point be).

I honestly think I'd rewrite it to say, "when something this trivial is the biggest thing I might regret, then things are going quite well." Perhaps I am demonstrating the media's notion that there's a huge generational difference on online disclosure.
