Ruined Weekend

[graafen]

OK, lemmie set the scene. I wanted to go into town today to sell some old stuff(George Forman Grill, PS2 controller, Neo Geo Pocket Colour) so that I'd have some spending cash for the weekend. I got everything ready to go and was about set off when low and behold my flatmate tells me that so and so's coming round and wants to collect and old book case from my room. He was to come at midday.
So I stay in and wait.

I'm still fucking waiting. The shops have closed and wont be open tomorrow.

To top it all off rustyfox invited me to go have sushi with him in Leeds, which I've had to now decline because I don't have the spending money and there's still a possibilty that so and so will turn up.

Whatever happened to calling to say "Sorry, I'll be late."?

If you see me online at all tonight, be warned that I'll probably be quite emo.

Bleh. No consideration, some people :(

I've noticed that too. I'm afraid I'm guilty of quite often being late, but I always call if I know it's going to be awhile.

That was extremely rude...now they've ruined your whole day's plans. Next time your flatmate wants to come pick up his book case, I think you should be "busy."

*hugs*

Awwww...well when and if so and so comes just rip him to sheards! Really consideration and just plan good manners would tell him to call and let you know that either he's late or just not showing up. Hope the weekend works out better for you Thayli.

I've been noticing that more and more people now have to sell their possessions just to get the basic necessities for living such as food, shelter and clothing. The world really has become such a sad place full of greed. There's billions of dollars/euros/pounds/etc. in the world, yet only a few have control over all of it. *nods*

OTOH I'm continually perplexed by those who claim abject poverty while at the same time spending $BIGNUM dollars/pounds/euros per week on multiple concurrent DVD/CD/gaming/satellite/cable/cellphone payments and subscriptions.

Surely you should focus on making the rent/mortgage payments before spending out on discretionary entertainments?

I agree to a point than many people waste money on things they don't need. Another part of me says "Hey, if you think living a dull boring life is such a wonderful thing, let's see you do it!" *nods*

There is a balance of sorts to be struck. Essentials should always come first, although as you point out, a life based solely on the bare essentials is no life at all, and for many people oppertunities to a better existance don't grow on trees. (Although irritatingly, others seem to find with no particular effort from themselves fantastic oppertunities. I believe you both make your own success and exist at the mercy of luck, good or bad).

That's what I meant. A life of "just getting by" becomes a rut. The stress resulting from that can be quite high and make life unbearable. I'm also amazed how some people are able to find great opportunities with little to no effort on their part.

That is totally rude and inconsiderate of that person to not call and say they're going to be late or not show up at all. You definitely have the right to be upset and/or angry. *nods*

Bah, that just sucks.. hate it when that happens. :(

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Meh, that sucks... :/

[shep-shepherd.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that you can find something to do that is free or cheap tomorrow :)

As it turned out we didn't go to the Sushi bar, contrary to what I belived I had learnt, it appeared to have all of two tables and a couple of stools at the bar itself. Don't really like dining that intimately with the staff. We hit Wokmania in the end, after a considerable wait for a table.
