Just when you think there are no more decent people in this world, my idiocy offers the opportunity to prove that theory wrong.
Because I am constantly doing 9 things at once, my attention to detail (personally, not professionally), can sometimes fall to the wayside. Therefore, today’s “situation” (not to be mistaken for the guy from the Jersey Shore) proves once again that I need to SLOW DOWN.
This evening I received a call from a strange woman who was in possession of some photos I sent to a friend. The woman, although extremely nice, was floored by the receipt of this package. She had lived at this residence for almost a year, and knew the two previous owners. And neither she nor those who used to live there, were my friend.
Mortified, I asked her if I could confirm my friend’s address and call her back. She so generously offered to mail the photos back to me (btw, the photos were nothing scandalous, just some family pictures I would never want to lose), but since I was capable enough to get the city right in the address, I asked if she would mind mailing them to my friend’s “real” address.
So, I called my friend, and after her outburst of laughter at what an airhead I am, she reminded me of her address. Turns out, she lives next door.
As we speak, my old friend, and my new friend, are meeting their neighbor for the first time. At least my mistake could add more peace to the streets.*
*I want to say a special thanks to Google, because if not for you, my lovely new friend would have never found me, and my cell phone number, and my precious photos would have been lost forever. Thank goodness for technology!
