Upcoming trip to SF is becoming a stress, complete with Personal Drama (tm), money worries, time pressure, expectations of sexual favours, and work-induced guilt. It seems no matter what I do, how precise the schedule is, how clever I think I am fitting everything in, I'm going to disapoint someone. Furr, the movie boys, Boof, Greg, Jeff, Robbie n Fish, Brian, and my dearly beloved Erich. And yes, it's all my own fault, and future posts will attempt to explain why I'm so stressed out.
Nevertheless, I'm *this* close to cashing in my airline ticket and just going and sitting beside a lake in Alaska for 2 weeks.
With my phone turned off.
(yes, thats how serious I am.)
UPDATE: Yeah ok, so I'm not going to abandon you all- I'd only end up resenting wherever I went because I'd missed out on SF. And I really do want to spend time with my friends there- it'll just be on MY terms. Its my holiday, dammit!! ;-)

Regardless of how carefully you plan things some of them usually get out of alignment, and you, as well as people that you hope to visit/please/etc should realise that. Until traffic and weather forecast reach 100% accuracy, there's no forecasting stuff that can be affected by it. And until human behavior can be predicted with same accuracy, someone might get disappointed.
Instead of looking at that, think about people who'll actually be very glad to see/hug/chat/play with you. I bet that number outweighs the disappointed ones by more than 2 to 1.
