Lesson 21 I've Replayed It Again and Again

Melinda: Patrick, have you ever just wished you could have a do-over in life?

I completely botched things up with the boss, and I'm afraid I've lost my chance for a promotion.

Patrick: Everybody wants a reset button, for sure. What happened?

Melinda: I misplaced the files for the big case I'd been researching for months, and he went ballistic.I've replayed what happened again and again in my head, and I just can't understand how I screwed up so royally.

Patrick: I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. I'm sure Marty will get over it in time. Hey, can I lend a hand?

Melinda: I just keep kicking myself for not thinking ahead.

If only I'd made backup copies, this never would have happened, and I'd be sipping cocktails with the girls right now instead of rewriting everything.

Nah, thanks, but you should go ahead home.

Patrick: Well, you have my cell if you need someone in your corner.
