Just a short one as a little recognition of the learning process.

On the last tour, something slipped past me that left me annoyed at myself. I am being cryptic for a reason here, not going into details, as this is just a short entry about a moment I want to grow from, and learn from. And more importantly, not forget about it and just let it pass me by.

It was nothing major, no harm was done, but a process was overlooked and pointed out to me a little later on by a more senior colleague. There were no bollockings, no bad feelings, and no upset caused. I was however a little mad at myself for a while, and spent possibly too long looking back over it, and talking about it to other people.

All that said, it was a great example for me to use to teach myself to slow my brain down at times, and look at things closely, rather than trying to rattle through them as quickly as possible. Also a bit of humble pie was needed, just to keep my confidence in check.

But it’s OK… I understand what happened, and know for next time. I will of course be speaking to my peers about this at the start of the next tour, just to drag myself over the coals one last time, because that is just my process.
