March 10, Day 10
There's nothing quite like eating your own words.
On day 7 I made the statement that somehow I was able to get through a tough deadline while fasting. Fast forward to today (you're reading this on the 11th but check the date marker Marty) and I get not one, but two calls about names of people I had incorrectly in the newspaper.
Our little newspaper is a hub of conversation in the community and when you make mistakes it's in plain daylight for everyone to read.
Granted the first error was due in part to the folks who provided the names but certainly there's some way I could have double checked. The second error is kind of hilarious. I got the names right but had the wrong people attached to the names.
You can imagine how many people pointed it out.
And so there is a lesson for me that sometimes while quick decisions can be important, sometimes you just gotta slow down and double check your work.
Self portrait.
