RobertCloud -> Undo, Redo, What Should I Do? (9/20/2009 10:56:31 PM)
I have a theory, and at least for me it has proven to be true. That theory is that every single day at sometime we make a choice or done some action and then later wish we had done it differently. Sometimes that other way hits you hard like a sledge hammer with the word CLUE right across the forehead, and other times it sneeks in and whispers your alternate choice with a softer sound than a gnat sneezing. What happened to you today that you wish you had done differently? If it is too personal then feel free to pass, but otherwise confess your little secret...

I guess I will go first. When going to a munch for the first time, my girl is so nervous that she can barely stop shaking. I decide I am going to suggest that she take an extra anti-anxiety pill. She is allowed to do this under severe stress, so I figure it will be no big deal. So at the munch she keeps nodding off to sleep. I eventually look over and she has her face in her plate. Thankfully it was all dry type food, but still it was rather embarrassing for me. Second thankful reason, no one else noticed.... Whew!!!

I just slammed an unscrupulous MOTHERFUCKER I got screwed by 23 years ago, on a public professional forum. because he's screwing people the same way for the same reasons again. he's a fucking HACK, you see. Like a tapeworm. Needs healthy guts to live in. But the system here? It does better by having men like him about and fucking people over. So no matter what, I'll be the one slammed, because he's like the "false model agencies" that get people to pay to have their names "on the roster" , or other shady businesses like that. And when you're the kid saying "The Emperor Has No Clothes", the reality is you get the smack, not the asshole pretending to be a tailor selling the Emperor some fucking "air" and saying it's the satin with gold thread Soul Train outfit.

Wow, HPH!!! I can understand that. One place I worked the boss would come in and tell you to change a detail to one that is more a company standard, even though the Architects had already approved and had even specified that type of detail. So when the shite hit the fan it was not the boss that got messy but me. So I start writing down on the papers every time the boss says to make a change. The next time shite hit the fan I went to get the papers to prove it was not me, and lo and behold my papers had been gone through and changed by someone else and the note was not there. So since I had tried to prove it was my boss and not me I got the shaft, out the door and was not even allowed to collect all of my gear. So I understand dealing with those A-Holes... Even though this is not really a rant thread, so the thing I wish I had done different was after making the note on the papers I should have made a copy and stored it in a different location. When you work for liars, and you are not one yourself you will get blasted.

O know, but I just wanted to illustrate. And I wish I'd signed on this a-hole's project with a secret pen-cam. and then had some fun wit youtube. if ya know what I mean.

retrospect can be a dangerous thing. When a judgment call is made, beating yourself up over it sometimes does not help. That said....i wish i had not removed the vine from the tree that turned out to be poison ivy. [8\|]

I wish I wouldn't have spent an hour trying to get my John Deere mower unstuck out of a sinkhole by myself. Now, I have a Triscuit sized burn mark on one forearm, and every muscle in my body aches.

Level, that's when you attach a tow strap to a car and slowly pull it out. I knew my daughter was coming home to get her show stuff ready for a big show next weekend. I wish I had washed the tail extension in the weeks earlier instead of waiting till Saturday night to finally get it done.

Methinks he is digging up the rest of the yard to even it out with the sinkhole as we speak. [sm=goodnight.gif]

I wish I'd kept my BIG MOUTH shut on this side last week and handled business on the other side.[sm=banghead.gif]

i agree it should have been done on the other side. my fault as well.

Holding aching back, (still recovering from a snapped vertebrae, yes that means I broke my back) I wish I had gotten help to lift my angel when she had fallen asleep on the floor. Thankfully she is light and she actually stood on her own I just had to help her get to her feet as she was deeply asleep. My back is still killing me and even the oxy-80's are not helping.

well, you know I tell myself that I believe that regrets are just useless, as is guilt, but I still have them. I'm going to give a real confession here. When I was 16 years old, I was in university and had started therapy. I had an unknown hormonal imbalance that made me exhausted and feel hopeless all the time. I was going to uni full time and trying to figure out how to be a grown up. Not an easy task with no help. Oh the mistakes I made! Anyway, I stupidly decided to get a puppy. But with my hormones, my schedule, and my therapy responses (not pretty, not pretty at all), I was not a good owner for that puppy. I put an ad in the paper "free to good home." A man came to get the puppy. I didn't check him out, I didn't ask enough questions, I just handed over that little puppy to that man, and I've felt horrible ever since. I had an icky feeling about him and didn't honor that feeling. After that, I swore to never have a dog again but to treat them with great love and to play with and / or pet any I see if their owner does not mind. I have stuck to that decision. I worked with a vet for awhile and became the one who handled the really scared / upset dogs. While I know that I did the best I could way back when, I can't tell you how guilty I've always felt about not just saying "no way" to the man I handed my puppy over to. I wish I'd never gotten a dog. I couldn't take care of myself, what was I thinking about getting a puppy? And now you know the worst thing I've ever done.

Oh hell, there are so many woulda, shoulda, coulda, wish I hadda's in my past I have forgotten most of them. No matter how effed up they were, how much I might wish I had done things differently.......it's over, past, history......cannot go back and change a damned thing. So instead I call them life lessons and actually do my best to LEARN something from them. So far I feel I am doing a fair job. I am having too much fun living, to worry about past fuck ups. That being said.......I really wish I knew what set that horse off on such a tangent yesterday. I am sooooooooo stiff and sore!

hugs sunshine!!

there are a lot of things I have done in my past, some I'm proud of, some - not so much. Would I change a thing given the chance??? Nope. My past mistakes and experiences are the things that have made me the person I am today - an I rather like her.

quote: And now you know the worst thing I've ever done. i don't know whether to smack you or hug you. You were SIXTEEN, in college, dealing with a mind altering medical problem, had the COURAGE to admit you accepted one too many responsibilities and are beating yourself up for not doing a background check on this man???? Holy shit, Sunny. Now be honest...really honest with yourself. Think back to that time...did you have the slightest clue how to check him out? Think back to that time again (i am trying to get you not to think with the knowledge you have now, but rather the lack of knowledge you had then) did you, as a 16 yr old, even know there were people who were using animals for unethical reasons? Betcha you did not. Honey...you were doing more at 16 then most of us had the maturity to handle as an adult. You learned a valuable lesson and no doubt you passed it on to others when you worked in the veterinary field. You did the best you could have done, and then some. Forget about the smack...i want a hug!!!

If i had it to do over again i am sure could make changes that would have made life easier. As the Garth Brooks song goes..." I could have missed the pain, but i would have missed the dance." My dance has led me to where i am and there is no place i'd rather be.
