Change of Plans! [NOT 23/7/23]

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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.
