piploverOk, so here's my dilemma. I just got tickets to go see A Dog's Breakfast in Vancouver, BC. David Hewlett will be there along with his fiance and his dog. I am really, really looking forward to this. Now here's the dilemma: The show is on Sunday at 1215pm. I have to work Saturday until 10pm. If I work Saturday and leave after work, I won't get to Vancouver until about 5 in the morning. Or, I could leave here at 3 in the morning to get there on time. Why don't I call in sick? Because I have been told that if I call in sick one more time, they might fire me. See? Dilemma. Some of you might think it's a no-brainer - lose job, don't go. But I really don't like my job, hate it in fact. The hours suck, I never have time to do my homework, and I'm exhausted. On the other hand, it gives me some extra money so I can pay my bills, and I have health insurance now. But....I hate my job. And I already bought the tickets. If I drive up Saturday day, then I won't be driving at night, can stay in a hotel, see the show and then drive home afterward rested and alert.
Or should I just call the tickets a bust and not go at all, even though I am so excited I could spit and really, really, really want to go? I just don't know. I'm really leaning towards the just call in sick and to hell with Walmart option, but any input would help. Also, I just found out that I can get health insurance through the school or privately, but it's really expensive. Sooooooo....any suggestions? The show is on the 25th of this month, so I have about a week to make a decision. Help me, Flist, you're my only hope!
PS This is totally, completely, 100% off topic, but does anyone know where I can get a copy of Robyn Thurman (Koschka's) Real Ghostbusters stories? I am tearing my hair out trying to find them. Thanks!
HUGS!!!
