Congratulations to me!!!

I made it an entire year at my new church before causing a misunderstanding!!! WOW! That has to be a record for me.

I'm still a little befuddled as to what I did or said, exactly, but I promise -- I never meant to say anything hurtful. I'm pretty dizzy and scatterbrained most of the time, so there's almost never a time when I'm intentionally malicious. Mostly I'm not paying attention, but I am aware that sometimes I sound abrupt or cross. I know exactly where I get that, too, Mom, so no need to call me "Doris" or anything.

I certainly bear no ill will towards the people who misunderstood me, because I know how easy it is to misinterpret what people say and do.

We were rehearsing last night, and a certain fact had been established, and I knew that we needed to move along and work on rehearsing instead of trying to rehash the problem of "where is the old sound system?" SoulFire had borrowed it this past weekend, of course. I told them it was at Mike's, and that we'd get it to them any night this week they wanted it. It didn't seem to satisfy them, however, so I offered to go get it right then. [shrug] We're having a rehearsal, people, we know where it is, what else do you want me to do? You don't even need it until Friday.

The only reason we didn't bring it back to church immediately was because it would've been during church services, and we didn't want to interrupt church by unloading all that stuff right then. Nobody ever uses it, so we figured we'd bring it back later in the week.

I still have NO idea what the problem was, but I'm not going to spend much more time fretting about it. It just means that I've gotten close enough to people to hurt their feelings, and involved enough to cause misunderstandings.

I'm still amazed it took this long.

And on that note, it's definitely a sign that SoulFire needs its own equipment. ASAP.
