Disappointment

When I checked my Zellers work schedule, I was delighted to see that there was a lull in my work schedule between Thursday and Saturday afternoon. It meant that, aside from the occasional tweak of the Warrior Council website, my time would be spent relaxing. It also meant that the only event I had to look forward to before work began anew was the weekly gathering of friends at the local coffee pub.

Andreas and I talked before we set out, establishing that we would meet eachother there. After I arrived and stalked through the place with Nathan’s smelly shirt in hand, I was disappointed to find no one there. So, I waited outside for a bit before driving home. It was an utter disappointment. When Andreas surfaced on MSN again, he told me that he had gone to Williams and waited for 40 minutes. I asked what time he got there. It was around the time I drove away. I felt kind of bad for leaving him there alone.

It turns out that fate conspired against us. Shortly after I left, Andreas arrived. Shortly after Andreas left, Caleb arrived. Nathan and Aaron - I believe - were at the concert in town, while Blake had informed me ahead of time that he wouldn’t be coming. And, of course, Jenn only works Sundays.

In addition to this disappointment, I missed the Friends of the Library Annual Book Sale…again. I missed it last year too, and I swore that I wouldn’t miss it this year. Instead, I slept in, and awoke to be mocked by Josh’s news of mere pennies spent on a book buying splurge. He came home with a hefty stack of books - probably a tree’s worth. I asked if they had any sci-fi (because sci-fi rocks) and he said that he didn’t check. He recommended - as an alternative to the book sale - a place called Yesterday’s Things and Books. I wanted to go before work, but I was running late because I stayed in the shower too long.

And the work day was fucked. However, a guy in Merch Ops convinced me to sell my DS and buy a PSP. I think I just might. Damn you Conrad, you deceptive bastard.
