Jul. 17th, 2001 05:01 pmToday I was introduced to the photocopier, and promptly proved my complete and utter incompetance at, well, anything, by having to be shown how to use it. (To be vaguely fair to myself, it was the autofeeder I was having trouble with, but what I was doing wrong ought to have been dreadfully obvious to anyone with half a grain of sense - I had the paper the wrong way round, and the way it ought to have been was obvious when I thought about it.) I've also managed I'm sure to add quite a few records into the wrong file in this contacts-database thing I had to put stuff into... Oh well.
And then when we went to the hairdressers, one up town we've never been in before, I froze. Grr. I thought I was over that. I really confused the person on the desk by failing to speak, and then squeaking in a really pathetic voice 'fringe trim...' and looking imploringly at her... grr. Stupid Chessypig. Will I always need to rehearse silly things like this before I can be confident? I was so embarrassed I couldn't even talk to the person who did my hair (although it was my fringe so it was a bit difficult, and annoying she expected it of me really).
And I forgot to have a drink despite my mother saying when I was standing there in the kitchen 'get fruit *and a drink*'. Even more grr.
