15 points missed

15/02/2007 by ramps.

In hindsight it was bound to happen.  With all the disruptions in my life from work and lack of sleep I missed out on 15 points profit today because I forgot to phone back one of my systems which was late on.  In fact the only reason I found out is one of my friends did actually the same.   Boy was I mad with myself last night.   After nearly 3 years using this service and never making this mistake I went and did it 6 weeks into the larger stakes zone.   

All part of the learning and evaluation process.  The important thing is to not chase it.   I have to account for it and then forget it.   In the long run if I hit my profit targets then 15 points will only be a small percentage of my yearly profit.   If I don’t hit my profit target then that is the issue and not the 15 points.

To avoid this happening in the future I have printed out the check sheet Clare use when I was on my Java course.   I will be using this to make sure I don’t make the same or similar mistakes.

It was still a very profitable day yesterday though which was good news.  No early morning calls today either so maybe things are on there way up finally.

At the weekend I am going to start looking for jobs that would give me some social interaction but also fit around my time sentive betting medium which is horse racing.  So I need to look for jobs that start very early and finish early or evening jobs.  The latter would be a problem in summer though
