I got off from work an hour early. I see, saw it as not losing an hour of work, but gaining 2 extra hours of rest and sleep...so I thought.
I have a nephew whom is graduating the 25th of May from a college that is well know for creating some of the BEST engineers in the country. Was asked y his mother, my sister asked was I going to his graduation which is located 2 and a half ours outside of New York City, Troy, NY. Wasn't planning on it, but thought of it. Well yesterday evening my sister stops by WITH a suit and a deal in mind.
Her and her husband plus my brother are going. In fact, they are leaving the day before for the dinner, getting hotel rooms...and I HAVE to attend. Oh, don't bother asking CAN I attend, just go straight to I AM GOING mode. No biggie, okay. Then it just dawned on me. One worker is on vacation and another is taking that Friday off. Change of plans, check bus sched, see what bus and how long it takes to get there after 3pm for Friday. Oh but wait....
On Wednesday, I HAVE to go and see Iron Man 3 in 3D in IMAX with my ex cause she has free tickets. Never mind that I have the clearest downloaded copy of the damn movie, and I told her this too. I can handle that. Then there is Thursday, BIG Hip Hop thingy at Santos Party House in Manhattan and all the BIG named DJs will be there...Africa Bambatta for one, Zulu Nation. Already have my ticket. I want to go, but...I might not go. This one is still up in the air.
Okay, soIm suppose to drive upstate NY with my brother. If I have to work, can he... One pick me up at work? If he can't, what time are the buses leaving out of the city for upstate. Its not online, have to call a 1 800 number, too early to call now, not open. Sister text me late last night, if you need shoes and a white shirt, this Saturday, we can go and get them for you. She knows I have NO money.
So I'm looking at 2 weekends of my time being spent with what others want me to do. Or...I could just say NO. No isn't an option right about now.
