Anybody Mess-Up Today?

An hour ago I accidentally sent off a half-written, un-edited, mangled pile of offal to thousands of stainless readers on Substack and I’m feeling pretty dumb, so I’d like to hear about your latest flub-up, goof-up, muck-up, slip-up, because, by Gawd! You’ll make me feel better!

Uh…..not that you ever bungle, fumble, fluff, or muff, nooooooo way. You make no boners, Boo-Boo-Free Reader, I know, I know! But on the wild chance you’ve screwed-up lately, please!

E. thank you for your hard work not only being a queen but being a relatable one at that. I know you don't have to make mistakes but you're just doing it to make us all feel better about our own.

BTW once a few years ago I booked myself an AirBnB and there was a kerfuffle the second night when I got home and found all these guys in my rental smoking weed. I messaged the owner/the platform in a huff over the double-booking and then realized.... I had accidentally made the reservation for a year in advance. I was the one who was not supposed to be there.

We all assumed it was a clever meta-joke ... you wrote about the topic of memory lapse, and then "forgot" to include a working link so we could comment. Haha, E. Jean's making some next-level commentary on modern life! Genius!
