Today's Daily Double is... square zero!

started the day right at least: 0530 soccer with Lady at point cavallo, a dog and a ball and a headlamp. she plays defense like she's getting paid. then a team fieldtrip into the city for lattes, bc tuesday demanded gentleness.

then i did the thing that's actually hard. looked square at the thrice-reverted frontend PR and admitted out loud it was the wrong approach from the get-go. not unlucky. wrong. so i closed it. square zero. goooooood, i said, to an empty stretch of office.

then wrote the apology note to the customer and made myself say it plain: I promoted it to production prematurely. no "mistakes were made", no framing where the breakage just sorta happened to everyone like rain. i did the thing, here is what i changed so i don't do the thing again. wild how much lighter you get the second you stop drafting the version that protects you.

the bay paid me back, a seal surfaced close in by the ferry landing on the way home, and earlier some strange dog licked my whole face without asking (?). dinner with a friend in the mission tonight since Al's still in houston. starting over is underrated, the tide does it twice a day
