At My Brother's Expense
This weekend is the big local con. We've had our tickets for months now. Yesterday, I had this conversation with my brother:
Me: So are you coming to the con this weekend?
Him: ...that's this weekend?
Me: Uh, yeah.
[long pause]
Me: So I'm going to take that as an "I completely forgot about it."
Him: I can't remember if I booked off work or not. I'll have to check. [pause] Oh. They have me down as working both Friday and Saturday night.
Me: FAIL.
I suggested he try to switch his Saturday shift so he can get a one-day pass. Saturday's the best day at the con, anyway.
Oh, little brother, you have had many months warning about this. I'm pretty amused at your disorganization.
In somewhat related news, the kids are very excited. They made sure they had costumes ready to go and everything. Seriously, they do a geek mom proud.
