Well, I messed up tonight

July 24, 2016 04:13AM
Have been taking a much-needed break from shopping. Got an email and a text from a desperate scheduler needing to complete a pizza restaurant shop today. I wasn't going to since I had to entertain company all day, but I said yes..... and by the time dinner rolled around, I had not eaten and I was exhausted.... aaaaand I forgot the required picture of my meal.

I have never done that before and I remembered all the rest of the miniscule details required. sad smiley I just hate messing up. I had a leftover slice of the personal pizza I had to order, so I sent a pic of that and emailed the scheduler to explain. Fingers crossed it is accepted since the place performed well.

I feel terrible to have "saved" the scheduler, only to let them down.

Give yourself a good kick in the butt and let it go. I did an Extra Storage Space store and forgot to take the curbside picture. It was my first shop on a route of three and my farthest shop out. On my way home, it dawned on me, Oh Hell!.

I did drive back out to that far shop and take the curbside. AND, with my stupid, forced on me, perfectionist upbringing I probably would have drove back to the pizza place and ordered another personal pizza.

Just let it go. It's easy for me to tell you that even though I would not have been able to just let it go.

I took blurry pictures of the parts of my meal. I wrote a very detailed and thorough report. The MSC emailed me to tell me that they could not send the pictures but sent the report with the caveat that if rejected, I would not be paid. It was accepted.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.
