Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!

hang in there! You should check those books out. I am going to start posting more about books on my blog and will even have an author on a blog tour on my blog in August. I say it's always good to try out something you normally wouldn't and expand your horizons!

let me just say that in all the years i worked with you, all you did was save the company money and help the customer so if you made one mistake all i can say is, it's about time! Don't beat yourself up - you are GREAT at what you do (even if you are human!)

I agree. On practically a daily basis you save the advertising department money by finding their mistakes. So one time you leave out a few garage sales....BIG WHOOP! :) I miss paginating.

I hope your weekend made up for your "terrible day" thursday. No worries! And I agree with the above comments, no worries, you rock!

Lori - we miss your paginating too! I'm not too keen on the late nights, but at least it's now rotated between 3 of us, so I only have to stay late one week out of every 3. You never had that "luxury".

Yeah, the late nights did suck. I just enjoyed the actual process...not all the crap that went along w/it. You know, that crap you get to deal w/on a daily basis! :) You're a saint for doing it as long as you have!

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
