Well, the village sure found its idiot today!
In a situation that could and should have been a a positive professional move for me, I used bad judgment at an event attended by colleagues and peers and made a slip up that has, no doubt, compromised my integrity.
To what degree, I don't know. How many people are or will be aware of my faux pas, I'll be the last to find out. How much will the negative consequences impact me, it's hard to say.
All I do know is that the very little bit of gain I 'cunningly' garnered was NOT worth it and I just wish I could go back and undo it all!
Just when I think I've got it all together and my life is on a reliable, even keel, I have to beat myself up with questions of 'Why did I use such poor judgment?', 'Why, at my age, am I still capable of doing such stupid things?', and 'Will I EVER grow up?!'
The self loathing is incredible.
All I can do at this point is confess my sin (thanks for listening!), try to forgive myself, and learn from my mistake. . . once again.

Hi are you new? Well I think we all tend to repeat mistakes I do it all the time myself. But someone once said if in five years would anyone remember? Love Phillipa

Everyone does stupid things. Right now it may seem like a huge thing, but everything happens for a reason. Or more, something good comes out of the bad. Sometimes you have to look really hard, but it's there. Just wait and watch

Yes, I am new. . . this little episode had me in such bad shape yesterday that I found myself reaching out to anyone in whom I could anonymously confide. Thanks so much for your comforting words! You're right. . . I, myself, probably won't even remember much of this incident five years from now, but I do want to remember enough to learn from my mistake.
Thanks, again!
