Missed interview - feel like an idiot

I don't even know the purpose of this thread.

So I got an interview for Waitrose and because I will be on holiday on the original date, I e-mailed them and was given an alternative time. This time was the 30th of June. The e-mails were sent and new time given on the 27th. I go on holiday on the 4th of July. Despite the fact that the lady said 30th June in the e-mail, for whatever reason I read it as 30th July. My brother works there and the lady told him today i missed the interview and now I feel like a complete ****. It's so unlike me to make such a stupid error and now I worry that the interviewer has a wrong impression of me. I feel like such an idiot. I tried to ring her and apologies personally but she left work so I have just sent an email. Although my brother reckons they will give me another one for when I get back off holiday, I just feel like ****. Utter embarrassment. I almost don't want to go to an interview even if they are so unforgiving enough to offer me another one.

Yes it's going to look bad on you.
Find out when she gets back and ring her again.
