I’ve already broadcast(ed?)* this royal embarrassment on Facebook and Twitter this morning. But in case you missed it, I committed a giant office faux pas today by replying-to-all in a message that was meant to be read by only one recipient. Instead, it was sent to and read by a whole slew of other people in the company (as in, over fifty people). I will say no more.
On a better note, mistakes are the reason why learning is fun. Mistakes have to be made and embraced. BUT – once it’s done, it’s done, and you have to get over it, learn from it, and never do it again. Here is my theory: if you can master the art of getting over things quickly, life is bound to be easier. Get. Over. It. Fast. and move the hell on. It took me two hours to get over my reply-to-all accident, which is two hours too long. Get good at getting over and moving on. It’s a neat little trick.
But I also can’t disqualify the role of my personal calm-downer and comforter (my boyfriend). I freak out easily and without him and his calm aura, I’m convinced that I would’ve already died from a heart attack ten thousand different times from ten thousand different occasions. This is one of fifty million reasons why I love him.

*broadcast(ed?)
There is this whole confusion in the English vocabulary with the word “broadcasted” and whether or not it is the proper past tense for “broadcast”. Originally, the past tense of “broadcast” was simply “broadcast”, but then “broadcasted” is now increasingly becoming an accepted form of past tense for “broadcast”. Well, I have no idea which to use. With this entry’s opening sentence, “broadcasted” sounds right, but I believe is technically wrong, so I’ve just put the “ed” in brackets with a question mark and that should put a band-aid on that.

I’m letting go and saying goodbye to summer because I officially had to turn on the car seat warmer this past weekend. The cold is coming.
