Whoa! Great story. I always say I don't live with any regrets but now that you put it that way...hmmm. I should say IF I have any regrets, the biggest one would be changing job locations after 11yrs at the same place.

I liked where I was. I had tons of vacation. I was getting a lot of respect and notice from the top. I even got to travel. Then a sales rep I worked with for near 15years convinced me to go where she was at. It was supposedly the GREATEST PLACE TO WORK EVER (hear the sales pitch in there?).

I was SNOWED. Not only is it a place in the dark ages (technology wise). Everyone there is either a snob, or a know-it-all. There is no team players. I lost all benefits and vacation and I sit next to someone who curses ALL day. There is not a single happy person there. Not one. I get to spend 8 hours with these people.

I can't put this on my blog since some of them read it and I have to play nice to keep my job. But THANK GOD for you. I feel better just admitting that. :-)

I had Mr. Schnellinger for math. I repeated geometry in 9th grade b/c I barely eeked out a B- taking it in 8th grade and didn't understand it. They day I skipped though was during a unit I understood the most first time around and I just felt plain cruddy. Since I had his wife for 8th grade and pretty much told him the truth (that I was bored and had a headache so I skipped), he let me off. I never skipped a class again.

Oh, that is awkward isn't it? I once sent an email to my husband going on and on about my terrible mean boss...yep only thing was I sent it to me my boss instead.
I still can't believe she didn't fire me. We actually became closer after she stopped being angry and hurt.
My re-do is something I regret every time I see my Moms face.
Great question - I got some free therapy out of it!!

Elizabeth, for the record :-) I wrote my post last night after I saw the sneak peek to the question... I had no idea our intro paragraphs would read almost identically :-) Great minds think alike!

Ladies, I am LOVING these answers! Both the ones you've posted here and those of you who have linked up on the MckLinky... you are giving me some great food for thought (a cliche I use WAY too often!). Keep 'em coming!

2010-02-02T14:24:45.241-05:00

That totally sounds like something that would have happened to me! I'm glad he didn't fire you though, that would have sucked. A lot of people say that they don't have any regrets, but there has to be at least one in someone's life. I have so many...I wouldn't even know where to start. I think though that I might start with that x-boyfriend of mine, who took complete and utter control over my life for 2 years. Yeah...I'll start with him. If I had to do over, I would have never given into his persistent "Please go out with me". That would have saved me a lot of trouble.

I would have been so worried! One thoughtless comment can change so much- I wish I didn't know that from much personal experience.

2010-02-02T13:58:28.734-05:00

I am sitting here trying to think of something I would do over to do it better and wow, I came up with too many!! Some of the best days of my life were having my kids, so since I have two and can not choose one, I would love a do over of my wedding day!! It was awesome! I would love to have that day again!!

2010-02-02T13:03:49.338-05:00

I've been told I have a voice that "carries" so I've had many incidents like yours!

2010-02-02T12:59:27.108-05:00

haha it's been awhile since I have seen that movie! I am not sure if there is anything I would do over... I would have to think about it long and hard. lol

2010-02-02T12:50:57.057-05:00

Oh wow, yea, that's definitely a do-over moment! Yikes! I can't imagine how terrified you were of losing your job after that. And I'm sure he hasn't treated you the same ever since, yet you're still stuck working there and dealing with the changed atmosphere. I'm sorry!

2010-02-02T11:56:10.851-05:00

I have to think about this one for awhile but I am totally going to participate today ;)

I have done the same thing, said something I should have maybe just kept to myself...oops I'd want a do-over too!

2010-02-02T11:53:06.919-05:00

My do- over would be a good one. I would like to relive moments with my grandmother. I miss her everyday. Great post girlie!

Ooops... Total open mouth, insert foot moment huh?...

Ooops... Total open mouth, insert foot moment huh?

2010-02-02T11:35:33.278-05:00

At the moment I am feeling sorry and pouty for myself - I fell running yesterday and my knee is protesting, so I won't be running for a few days at least. This makes me cranky. So my do-over is to not have tripped over NOTHING yesterday - that my inner klutz would have stayed nestled away yesterday - that I would not go sprawling onto the pavement and land on my knee. Sorry, if I wasn't such a spoiled baby I could be a bit more philosophical, but right now I'm sulking,

2010-02-02T10:56:26.730-05:00

I went in a bit of a different direction than your post...I certainly feel there are things I should regret and wish to change but I would not ...just can't its not me and frankly it would scare me to death to think about replaying any one thing...I love different!

2010-02-02T10:51:04.843-05:00

Oh wow...oops? Great post.

I wrote a post recently on do-overs. I don't think really that there is anything I truly wish I could go back and change.

2010-02-02T10:41:28.618-05:00

I have a list of regrets on my blog. It sucks to want to go back and make changes, especially since it's impossible.

Groundhog Day was filmed in my town and every year the local movie theater plays it for free. My husband and I went to see it and had this very conversation on Sunday.

2010-02-02T10:40:00.061-05:00

Oh gosh, I would have been a nervous wreck. I HATE when my mouth speaks before I can sensor it.

2010-02-02T10:38:20.732-05:00

Oh my! There is so much that I wish I had not said or done. I dn't know that I could just pick one and then again I truly do believe that each occurrence has some effect that gets you where you are like the butterfly effect. But if I could choose to change something without changing the impact it has had on my life...I had a co-worker once that seriously grated on my nerves. I was unmerciful in my letting her and everyone else know that I thought she was truly incompetent. It disgusts me now to think of how I treated her and the impact that had on how other people treated her.

Thanks for stopping by. I did a do over today. I posted a review on the wrong day.

If the groundhog tried to see his shadow in South Carolina today. He would get wet.

2010-02-02T08:11:59.117-05:00

I have deja vu incidents all the time!

As far as a do-over, I wouldn't make any major changes, but there are a few times that I regret saying something or even more common - regret NOT saying something when I had an opportunity!
