Should Have Known Better

I absolutely know better than to send photos to the paper when I'm dead tired and sleepy but I did it anyway.

A brain lapse or something like it led me to decide to submit the library pictures taken at Authors' Night Out to the paper last night so I wouldn't have that facing me today. Turned out to be a really bad decision, albeit a funny one, and one that might cause others questions my character to say the least, and likely my sanity too.

The first five were a snap. Smooth sailing, no problems. It was the last three that got me in hot water. (I might have even blushed if I still bushed.)

I wrote the cutlines, attached them to an email, and hit send just as I did the first ones. That part went just fine. What wasn't fine was I also attached a racy photo that a friend had asked me to share earlier. It was not of me (or anyone else). It isn't pornographic, just a photo of a somewhat graphic instructional poster, but you can imagine how I felt when I discovered this morning that I had sent it to the editor along with the other photographs. Luckily, he was thought it was funny and was still laughing when I walked in the office this morning. Fortunately, he has a better sense of humor than I thought he had. Of course, he had shared it with the others there too!

Thank God I didn't have the library director's new email or it would have gone to him too as I promised I would share photos with him. Knowing me, I would have copied him on it to keep from doing the same job twice. Today, I was doubly glad for small blessings.
