Oops

Oops. I hate it when I make a mistake. After sales meeting today we had another meeting up at a big hospital chain to hav e atraining seminar on how to run some of the machines they bought from the company where I work. We were supposed to have a power point and everything. I checked on the power point that I helped put together and was told by my manufacturer rep that all we were doing is hands on and preventative maintenance stuff, we didn't need the power point. I didn't check with the other person going with us who has been co-spear-heading this with me. Oops. We should have had one. I felt like a doofus. For those of you that know me, you know that is an all too common feeling for me. Anyway, it went well, not everyone came that was supposed to attend, the head person wasn't there either so we were able to save a little face. I was able to save the day by going to the temple and doing sealings. Powerful. We were doing someone's direct, researched family names. Those always seem more real and close to me. It was a great afternoon. Went to work after that and got caught up on email. Email is a blessing, bain and curse all at the same time. My wife and I stayed home tonight for our date night. It was calm and peaceful because my youngest daughter got punked with a surprise party for her impending 16th birthday next week. She has good friends and I am grateful for them. Also, my big screen after about 15 years is finally giving out. Bummer. You never seem to have the money you want to get the things you want. I had some money set aside but it has been spent on a new dryer (very necessary) contacts and braces. It goes fast. Well, I guess I have learned a lesson today (we'll see how long it lasts) to always ask twice, kind of like the contractor axiom to measure twice and cut once, so I don't have to feel like a doofus again with another oops!
