Yes it's true we've all been hurt before
But it doesn't seem to matter anymore
It may be a chance we're taking
But it always comes to this
If this isn't love we're making
Then I don't know what it is

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cos
I'm counting on a new beginning
A reason for living. A deeper meaning, yeah...

1) As I was getting ready for work this morning, I realized today is one of my cousin's birthdays. He turned 21 years old, and I had forgotten it completely. Oops.

2) I stopped at my favorite little breakfast place to pick up some scones for work. Da Boss was having one of his infrequent "Breakfast with The President" meetings.

It wasn't until the first attendee arrived that I realized I had not sent Da Boss a list of attendees for this meeting. He had no idea who was coming. Oops.

3) My computer locked up just as I began to type the notes from that meeting. Damn. Shut it down and start it up.

4) Da Boss asked me to make a copy of a two-page document. "Front and back" he said to me as I walked off to make the copy.

I brought the double-sided copy back to him along with the original. A minute or two later I hear "Kelli, we're missing a page here."

As it turns out, it was a three-page document, one page was on the back of another page. Oops.

5) Around 11:15am, Da Boss asked me if I needed his lunch order. My first thought was "for what?" Suddenly and with stunning clarity I remembered that I was supposed to get lunch orders from four people, order lunch, then pick it up and bring it back for a 12:00 Noon meeting! "OH MY GOD!" escaped my lips as I noted the surprised look on Da Boss's face. I recovered (certainly not fast enough) and said "Yes, what would you like?" I quick-like-a-bunny tracked down the other attendees, took their orders, phoned the whole order in, left to pick it up and brought it back with 3 minutes to spare. Oops.

6) My computer locked up for the second time today. Double damn. Shut it down and start it up again.

7) A funny little valentine.exe file that I had received at work (at my request) had arrived just after Valentine's Day. I THOUGHT I had deleted it. Apparently, I somehow put it into a file that I share with Da Boss. He asked our Information Services department to investigate how it got there, while I panicked at my desk. My stomach felt like it was sinking to my toes.

(in my head) *If that is considered offensive, I could be fired!
*Crap! Damn!
*Great! My review is supposed to be in two days!
*On the other hand, I could use the time off...

When I left work, Da Boss didn't seem like he was upset about anything, but I fretted all night about the consequences that might befall me. BIG Oops.

8) When scheduling trips for Da Boss, I make a habit (at his request) of entering the information into his calendar. Last week I finalized a trip for him and failed to put it into his calendar. He reminded me to do that today. Oops.

9) Wednesday morning, I opted to be as professional as I could be, (I even wore my company shirt) and accomplished many things before Da Boss arrived.

No less than half of the things I'd finished had to be redone. Oops.

Da Boss and I both commented that Tuesday sure seemed like one of those "everything goes wrong" Mondays.

Let's hope that Wednesday doesn't turn out like that. I'm getting blonde highlights in my hair tonight. If those turn out wrong, they could be GREEN highlights!

So... what went right you ask? Well...
