It happens, so just move on!


Today could not have been any worse! First of all I had to come in because today we planned on mailing out all the invites for Loners not Losers.
First thing I do, re-check the list for errors in spelling, addresses & etc. The list went up to 237, so by the time I finished my eyes were ready to pop out.

If anyone has ever made a mail merge, you know what I mean when I say it is the BIGGEST pain! I don’t ever want to do it again. I probably spent up to 4 hours proofing and then editing each mail merge, but its ok because the printer arrived two hours late.

We then, after using up all the stamps we had bought specifically for my count of 237, my boss ask me “Where are all the VIP’s?”

The VERY first list she had given me was a list of about 50 names, and I completely forgot about it.

Yes, she yelled… who wouldn’t? But at the end when I felt like a complete failure she simply said to me “It happens!”
