Hi, friends!
I hope your weekend went well!
Are you a person that doesn’t like when plans change? Does it depend on the situation? I’m fine with changing plans due to unexpected things. I get annoyed when plans change due to someone being a jerk.
Anyways, my night is totally open and I’m like huh now what. Normally I do family dinner on Sundays, but we went to a restaurant for lunch instead. I figured I’d make dinner tonight instead for the week, but holy shit the lunch was so huge that I brought home leftovers for 2 more meals. And I’m still not even close to hungry and it’s after 5pm already. So there’s no point in cooking tonight since I won’t touch that food until Tuesday probably!
I guess I’ll do some laundry and maybe some cleaning?
I’m fine when plans change. For instance tonight we’re ordering pizza instead of making chicken Caesar salad 😋
I especially love when plans get cancelled and I get to stay home instead.
I’m usually okay with plans changing. But if someone flakes on me repeatedly then I’m making plans with them anymore. What’s the point?
Yeah that’s not cool.
I do not handle changing plans well. If the flight is supposed to leave at 6:15 then by God it needs to pull away from the gate at 6:15. The Canadians are able to do it but the US fucking sucks at timely flights.
Same when I make plans with someone and they flake. That shit pisses me off.
I’ve got grounding exercises I do to keep myself from landing on the nightly news, but internally I’m on fire.
With flying, for me it depends on which flight. St Louis is basically “only to airline hubs” unless you’re on Southwest. So like if it’s the first flight before a layover and actually getting to my destination? Yes my threshold for frustation is way lower. If it’s the final leg and I don’t have a risk of missing a connection, eh less annoying.
The biggest changes of plans that I’ve dealt with this year have been court stuff — including a 10-day trial that was cancelled while I was on the way to the courthouse because the defendant ended up taking a plea deal instead. But if it’s just stuff that takes a few hours out of the workday, I’ve learned to trade with other interpreters instead of dipping into my vacation days, particularly after I didn’t have enough to cover the Spain trip last year. And if the things falls through and I happen to get a few hours or even a full day off . . . well, far be it for me to complain!
Having dealt with more than a few projects were things change on an hour to hour basis, I just learned to roll with it. No plan survives first contact with the enemy, etc etc.
In personal stuff too, but I get less happy if I figure out people are messing with me though.
i hate plans….and once ive actually agreed to one…i hate them changing even more
i did successfully stick to my holiday plan tho….which was basically… do not revert to night shift pattern
because i did that….i have to go back to work in a minute…having had enough sleep…for me and not even hungover…
i actually feel better than i normally do on a monday…but im sure work will fix my mood
My whole life is a change of plans right now. Wife is either watching dad die or stressing about not being there to watch him die, so can’t make plans. I know any plans I make may change. Now my cinematographer friend has me getting him a boat in Seattle for a documentary but logistics on a Hawaiian canoe sailing from Alaska are iffy at best with when it will get here so…keeping friends boats available is not easy.
