Jericho: Disappointing Weekend
I had a heck of a weekend lined up.
Then it fell apart and I ended up feeling like an idiot - twice.
Friday night I was planning to hang out with a friend. I ended up canceling that due to catching a stomach bug that Steph had earlier in the week. I thought the bug would be worse - but it just ended up being uncomfortable. I ended up feeling like a whiny ass and like I disappointed my friend.
Saturday was pretty good. I spent the morning playing WoW and enjoying the heck out of that. That evening, Steph and I hung out with friends. As we were leaving the friend's house, snow began to fall. The snow was pretty heavy and the temp was low and looking to get lower. By the time we got home, the forecasts were looking pretty nasty.
My plans for Sunday were pretty fun. I have a new D&D game going with some old and new friends and I'm excited about it. I even blogged about it.
However, the weather and the temp and the forecasts were looking like there were going to be icy roads and lots of traffic issues. On top of that - I'm a terrible driver. So, I did what I thought was the adult, responsible thing: I called the game.
I slept kinda late - might as well, I didn't have a game to look forward to. By the time the game would have rolled around, 10 AM, it was about 38, clear and bone dry. No icy roads.

You're flagellating yourself for not coming to a conclusion that was not supported by the available information?
That's just dumb.
You say that as if this is new behavior.
I keep hoping you'll learn.
I'm 36 years old and my rants on here look exactly like the rants in my high school notebooks - just more legible.
It's time to get yourself fired.
I've been thinking a lot about that recently. However, I may not have to. I don't want to jinx it - so more details later.
I forgive you.
