Crash...

Sigh. I'm an idiot, sometimes, and should have known better. I was an idiot on Thursday and Friday, likewise at the PPP, and again today. Time to take out my general frustration by ripping out the kitchen pantry (home-renovation work). Hopefully I won't cut off any fingers, given the way everything else has gone.

I'll be so glad when this long weekend is over.... work looks ever-more attractive.

You are not an idiot. It was not your fault. *hugs*

Seconded.

I can see how it was my fault for not checking to make sure that I had the right email address to send things to you, and not taking appropriate measures in reaction to the fact that I didn't hear confirmation back from you. And I give you my apologies for that....

I can't see how it was at all your fault. You made an effort to help a friend, and communication lines got crossed and misrouted and it didn't end up being necessary, but you weren't an idiot for making the effort.

Ah, but now I expect to hear a chorus of "I told you so..." from various folks for having volunteered in the first place. ("After all, she said on alt.poly that she isn't even a friend of yours!" sigh... here we go again...)

I don't accept blame for the communications foul-up, itself... especially after both shadopanther and hopeforyou called, emailed and SMS'd me four times yesterday morning to remind me to go pick up clairaide.

If her partners don't know what's going on, I'm hardly going to blame myself. The muttered "idiot" remark to myself is for leaving myself exposed to outside criticism by volunteering in the first place...
