Are we… Are we related?
Today at work, I needed to make some orange jello that would be poured over mandarin oranges in small meal cups with plastic lids. Well, yea boi, read the instructions three times to make sure to not mess it up like I have done before in the past. (Too much water ain’t good for jello setting.) Well wouldn’t you believe it. Yea boi messed up. It calls for 2 litters of very hot water and to add two cold liters of water after mixing in the jello powder. I still don’t understand how I fucked this up. Like really. I. Have. No. Idea. Why my brain blocked/jumped to accepting that 34 Fl. Oz. was two liters of water per batch. …Which means that I only made each package with 3 liters of water… I didn’t realize this was the case until I was finishing up making the last package (out of 7) of jello mix to pour. (fml.)
Expectations are one of the biggest pitfalls for me. Whether they be mine, a friend/family member, a work manager, coworker, or sometimes others. It gets to me and can make me feel very frustrated and/or overwhelmed.
It’s been a loooonnnngggg journey for me to better understand that this is one of my triggers and how to best prevent it and work with it when it happens. (It’s not pretty at times but showing up to fight the good fight is better than cowering to it IMO.)

I figured this was true of a lot of people online.

Hahaha. And I bet you or I would have rehearsed that in our heads for about 30 minutes before then, and still would mess it up. Hahaha

I read this very much like it was a comment on [email protected], and it added to the overall read.
