humble pie

I've gotten into trouble at work because I haven't done what I was directed to do (although I wasn't always sure what the direction was).

I probably messed up a bike at the Bike Exchange because I didn't know what to do and I didn't ask.

I'm not as smart - or as helpful or thoughtful - as I've been telling myself I am.

From my other journal that youse don't see:

As I write this, I see I have a lot invested in people thinking I'm smart and competent. I have wound up shooting myself in the foot, looking stupid by NOT asking for help. (How did I get to be over fifty, and I'm just learning this?)
