I Feel SOOOO STUPID

I messed up something at work. Big time. I can't divulge the details (because it is work) but I feel like the biggest loser in the world. I am sooooo stupid. And it's not something I can make up with. I just have to live with it for the rest of my life. I should slap myself and shut my big mouth. Sometimes I hate myself.

Thanks for listening.

Hey, we all make mistakes. Don't get so down on yourself. Realize your mistake then get on with life.
.* Sandi * Oct 1, 2008, 1:14am EDT
im sorry
sending hugs
Mary (diet dr pepper junkie) T. Oct 1, 2008, 1:18am EDT
ups and downs, that's the way it is. Chin up, and smile - you'll feel better. It's in the past now, and since it was a big mistake, it was also a lesson. It won't happen again, will it - !
Denise W. Oct 1, 2008, 1:27am EDT
Mistakes do happen.
jessica s. Oct 1, 2008, 1:29am EDT
yep, mistakes happen. i know its easy to say that when its not u in the situation lol but its true. i hope it wasnt anything too serious!
WM H. Oct 1, 2008, 1:32am EDT
I'll bet whatever you did is forgotten in a week.
Abd'allah Al Salaam Oct 1, 2008, 1:42am EDT
Embarrassments are facts of life. They pass over.
Lune Wolfsong Oct 1, 2008, 1:55am EDT
We all have those moments. {{{hugs}}} It'll pass, no matter how bad it was. Forgive yourself for being human. ;)
Toni V. Oct 1, 2008, 1:56am EDT
Nancy and the others are right, we all make mistakes and we learn from them. You'll be okay.
Ms. Meacham: Money Maven Oct 1, 2008, 2:02am EDT
Oh Selene. I feel for you. I've been exactly in your spot soooo many times, and I know from experience that what WM H. says is indeed true. Though it may take two weeks.... ; )
Carol Lloyd Oct 1, 2008, 2:25am EDT
im sorry
Timothy V. Oct 1, 2008, 2:35am EDT
For a married person, there is only one thing that could be messed up at work that one would have to live with for the rest of their lives.

Hope you didn't do what it sounds like you did.
Lawrence U. Oct 1, 2008, 2:45am EDT
Don't be too hard on yourself - all will be well!
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 1, 2008, 4:01am EDT
Everyone makes mistakes....you just have to move on.
Bruce K. Oct 1, 2008, 4:12am EDT
It happens, this kind of thing separates the men from the boys, or whatever ... just pretend it did not happen, or everyone else did it too, whatever it takes to keep on keepin' on! This too shall pass.
Diane "stormyz" B. Oct 1, 2008, 4:12am EDT

No slapping! Just try to make things right if you can, and move on.
Sophie S. Oct 1, 2008, 6:48am EDT
Tomorrow is a new day, chica.
Cassi J. Oct 1, 2008, 6:55am EDT
been there, done that.. it'll pass! Don't be too hard on yourself, it won't help things and it'll make you feel worse. Just learn from experience and move on :)
j - Frugal Mom - r. Oct 1, 2008, 8:10am EDT
I'm sorry to hear that, soon it will be forgotten.
Own it, move on and by the end of the week, it will have been forgotten.
Brian T. Oct 1, 2008, 10:08am EDT
You can't change yesterday. Deal with today and learn from the mistake.
Vic Needs Coffee Oct 1, 2008, 10:51am EDT
We all make mistakes. No sense beating yourself up over it.
Elaine A. Oct 1, 2008, 11:52am EDT
No one is perfect we all make mistakes.
Diana B. Oct 1, 2008, 1:00pm EDT
You have to learn a valuable lesson from the mistakes you make in life. We are all human and make mistakes from time to time, so chalk this one to experience and try to move forward with the new life lesson you learned. I am sure things will eventually work out for the best.
Selene N. Oct 1, 2008, 2:05pm EDT
THANKS EVERYONE!!! I feel better today.

Timothy - Thanks for your concern. I know what you are implying. Fortunately that's not what I was talking about. It was related to the government, though.
Selene N. Oct 1, 2008, 2:16pm EDT
Well... and because it has something to do with the government, and that's freaking me out.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Oct 1, 2008, 2:21pm EDT
Mistakes happen to everyone...The biggest thing is learning from those mistakes. So, they don't happen again.


Does that mean your mistake may cost you your job?
David K. Oct 1, 2008, 3:27pm EDT
Sometimes life sucks, then you move on. :)
Linda B. Oct 1, 2008, 3:33pm EDT
Selene, whatever it was, I hope it's over...you know how some mistakes just seem to keep bearing fruit and reminding everyone all over again everytime another consequence has to be dealt with?

We all make mistakes, it is a part of normal human experience. Accept that you made a mistake, apologize and make amends where possible and MOVE ON. Don't tear into yourself like that...hurting yourself mentally is just as dangerous as hurting yourself physically.

You're not perfect...so what? No one is....and it is a relief to finally put down the burden of that expectation.

Hang in there.
Larry H. Oct 1, 2008, 3:44pm EDT
This isn't a perfect world.
Gina M. Oct 1, 2008, 7:36pm EDT
Sorry to hear about that, but mistakes do happen. And secondly, no one is perfect, no matter how hard we try. Stuff happens. It's not the end of the world. Keep your chin up!
Rachel D. Oct 1, 2008, 10:40pm EDT
I hate my mouth too - it's gotten me in trouble in the past, and I keep trying to shut that damn trap of mine. But hey - sometimes it breaks out of its cage!
Alison H. Oct 1, 2008, 10:51pm EDT
Of course I don't know the details, but perhaps it was supposed to be that way. You are usually so conscientious. Why do we remember things sometimes and forget things sometimes? It might be the divine working through us.
Jenna S. Oct 2, 2008, 1:06am EDT
*Hugs*
Your only human.Hang in there friend.Everything happens for a reason right?Even if we don't realize it now. Maybe this was just one of those times.Don't beat yourself up to much about it.
Alison H. Oct 2, 2008, 1:25am EDT
Just wanted to add, sometimes we are "instruments of karma" whether we want to be or not, LOL!
Timothy V. Oct 2, 2008, 2:18am EDT
" It was related to the government, though. "

Now Selene, considering the current political climate, looks like Bush & Company might just come and get you! LOL !
Shannon R. Oct 5, 2008, 9:49pm EDT
Thanks for posting this to my group point4mepoint4u
Karen G. Oct 6, 2008, 10:51pm EDT
Ask yourself if it will matter in 5 years. If it doesnt than dont worry about it.
