It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, __36__, he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something __37__ in the company should ever do.
I wish I __38__ give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — __39__ it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m __40__, experienced and I know better.
__41__ I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to __42__ by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar __43__ they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ __44__ ” person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who __45__ the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely __46__ about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would __47__ to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the __48__ when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, __49__ with empathetic(体恤别人感受的) consideration. She listened to my __ 50__. Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n) __51__.
“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to __52__ that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s __53__. It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her __54__ to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.” I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those __55__ words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the Courage to change the things I can; and the Wisdom to know the difference.

It's 38 , no one would hand that in!” But she 39 me to. “You never know…” she said.
I decided that there was no 40 in checking so I walked up to a woman behind the counter and said “I have to ask, did anyone 41 cash by any chance?” She asked “How much?” My face then 42 . “$200 in the form of one hundred dollar bills.” I replied.

The next day at work, a person in another department 47 me tickets to the circus. He handed me 5 tickets. Almost 48 that young girl’s face popped (突然出现) in my head. After work I went back to the supermarket and stopped at the courtesy counter and asked if she had any idea who that woman was. She smiled and said, “Yes, She is a friend of mine”. Then I asked her to do me a favor and pass along these 5 tickets to her.
She told me that the family of the little girl who found my money were not rich so they would really 49 this. She also said that they had 3 children, so five was the 50 number of tickets!
