it just wasn't my day to do smart stuff

[tsuki_no_bara]

so today at work i discovered i'd fucked up twice, on two separate things. i took the files for company a and when i saved them on the server i used them to overwrite the files for company b, which means the files for company b no longer exist, and trying to reconstruct them took longer and was more of a pain than it should have been. but that

Don't beat yourself up too much over the office stuff. I feel like I do stupid stuff like that at least once a week. :P

but i'm worried that when it comes time to maybe hire me permanently, they'll go "she's a fuck-up, no". which may or may not be the case but, y'know, i worry!

I feel I should come visit you and then we could do allllll the tourist stuff. Best plan.

[tsuki_no_bara]

i like that plan! i only seem to do touristy stuff when people come visit, anyway.

i got kind of lost in the north end (historically italian part of boston, which means... bakeries :D ) and randomly walked by the old north church (of midnight ride fame - you know, "one if by land and two if by sea")

I've been there! (I guess when you live in a place, you always think you can do all the cool stuff "any time" and so never really get around to it). I've been to Boston once, almost twenty years ago now (I can hardly believe it's been that long!) for a professional convention and I tacked on an extra day to see stuff. I was all alone, staying in a hotel in the Back Bay and you could walk right out the door and onto the Freedom Trail. So that's what I did, all day! Man, it was like stepping into a history book! My kids were small at the time, but I've always wanted to take them there now that they're old enough to understand the historical significance. I brought my son back a copy of "Make Way for Ducklings" (bought at the Old North Church gift shop) and it was one of his favorite picture books. Ah, good times. :D

[tsuki_no_bara]

i love make way for ducklings. for a brief period of time that and a plush duckling was my favorite thing to send as a baby present. when you were here, did you go to the public gardens and see the statue of mrs mallard and the little mallards? altho i don't know how old it is, so maybe it hadn't been installed yet.

i have actually done the freedom trail! once, when a friend and her husband came to visit. i think we made it to paul revere's house (which i have also walked by in my wanders around the north end, altho i haven't been in yet) but not the old north church.

[chemm80]

Oh, most definitely! I didn't ride in a boat, but I saw them there.

For someone like me growing up and spending my whole life in the West where everything humanly built is so (relatively) new, it just floored me how old everything was. Old slate tombstones with the writing worn to unreadability... it's pretty cool.

That's weird about your work. Mh ... don't know what to say.
LOL I know where you come from. I'm living my entire life in this area but learned a couple of years ago that *big surprise* there's a small area here still don't have electrical power (very small, it's a backstreet with two houses). I was shocked!
Don't spoiler me *lalala* I've to watch the last ep of Hannibal to finally catch up with the show. Got lost a little too much in the Grimm-world I fear ;)

[tsuki_no_bara]

there are still houses in your area that don't have electricity? do you know why not? how weird!

i say nothing about hannibal. *zips lip*

[hyndara71]

yup. And I have NO idea why. It's not that the people living there don't want electricity.

>>Don't worry about the work stuff too much -- it happens. Nobody's perfect.<<

that's what people keep telling me, but i worry! because i'm still contract, and i want them to hire me permanently, and i'm afraid they'll think i screwed up too much and they won't.

clearly more people need to come visit me so i have an excuse to be a tourist. :D
