Yesterday was... Well, it was less than thrilling. Didn't blog, to the world's dismay.
Went to the Tag Office to renew my tag.
Aired up a flat tire.
Yeah, exciting stuff.
Please tell me that your day was more exciting than mine?
What's funny, though, is that the day could've been a lot more memorable. Unfortunately, I have a lot of suck in me and missed a few opportunities.
(Read: I missed a lot of opportunities.)
I didn't blog, which would've been a chance (hopefully) to brighten someone's day. I'm still fighting some doubt about my writing abilities, and I let those consume that opportunity without a second thought.
Later, I begrudgingly dragged myself to the Tag Office. I got my number (which was #9, and #5 was up when I arrived there) and proceeded to sit by the ticket machine, where I could've easily made someone's day by handing them my number and taking their as they walked in. The five minute wait wouldn't have killed me.
I left the Tag Office, opportunity missed, and drove down the street to air up our stubborn flat tire. It only goes flat about once every 10 days or so. I pulled up and had to wait on a man who was airing the tire. Now, I like to think that I'm not ageist, but the guy I was waiting on was older, and I'm guessing he could've used my help. Those air pumps are not meant to be operated by a single person, let alone a single person over the age of 60.
Opportunity missed.
My suck level hit a whole new high yesterday.
It makes me wonder, though: what opportunities have I already missed today?
Should I have blogged earlier so that somebody could start their day off on a high note?
Has my attitude consumed any "Tag Office" opportunities today?
Have I let my fear of embarrassment keep me from making someone else's day a little easier?
Here's to hoping that we can all suck a little less today than we did yesterday.
