Now think of all the things you’ve done right in your life

If you liked 2 1/2-months-to-New-Year’s-Resolutions Resolutions (which has been updated again, of late), then you will love Oh.!  And not just because it is a proper noun with built-in punctuation.  I’m completely crazy about that stuff.

Number 15 could be me.

“I always make this mistake.
When I start a new job I hold off asking questions for just too long.
Just untill it will be really embarrassing to ask the question and it will revile that I have just been guessing untill now [sic].”

It’s not me, though.  That’s someone else’s mistake, set free.

When I think about a mistake that I have made from which I’d like to be set free and from which someone else could learn, I’m like, “how much time have you got?  I feel like, “where, oh where to begin.”  But the point is: mistakes are meant to be made.  Oh. liberates the mistake makers by casting them out there on the internet “for all to see and learn.”

The first lesson: everybody screws up.

The second lesson: to err is not to fail.

I appreciate Number 1.

“Here’s my mistake:
I accidentally sent my cv to an ex-boyfriend while sending out work applications.
Just a blank email which my cv attached to it.
. . . to which he driely [sic] replied, “oh, you’ve been up to a lot.”

The ex-boyfriend?  Probably didn’t know that he received an email that had been mistakenly sent.  I like to imagine him, nostalgic, reflecting for a moment and thinking, “man, maybe I made a mistake when I gave her up.”

Oh. is part experiment in honesty and part community blog.  The spelling mistakes in each entry give it a performance art effect, too.
