Missed A Small Win

 Grr... I guess this is some of the collateral damage of easing away from over-achievement.

All I had to do was open 1 email today before my boss. And I was awake 3 hours ahead so I definitely could've done it! 

Or even yesterday, I remember checking our queues for voicemail, but I didn't notice any anomalies. Well the VMs were there, but I didn't notice that they'd come from the wrong place. Grr. 

So between last night and this morning, I was working and clicking for nothing. Again, I'm not prioritizing well. 

I definitely checked our lines throughout the day, and ran quite a few reports yesterday, don't know how I missed this. 

Grr.

I'm just mad because I could've caught the error and scored major brownie points. 

But it's a year later. 

How can I hone my instincts to make them more reliable. 

I think I had a couple signals to let me know to probe further, but I was bogged down with  other petty things. 

This was an expected outcome and I'm not even fully mediocre yet. I'm just mad about it. 

That definitely was a smarter, not harder easy win, and it just slipped through my fingers.

I want to make cookies but my kitchen is too much of a mess and I think the Betty Crocker pouch mix is just soooo sweet and grainy that I'm not super looking forward to eating it.
