is that you just CAN'T. More than likely it will blow up at some point and you will look like the bad guy even though you were trying your darndest to make everyone happy.
Well unfortunately for me, I tried to make plans with my roomate to hang out with her before she left for her study abroad. Last week I thought we decided on Thursday since I would be going to my parents on Friday for my practice exam on Saturday. She thought we decided on Friday.
In a haste to fix everything I told her we would do lunch on Saturday, completely forgetting that RedSox was picking me up from my practice exam to go to the Sox/Yankees game. So today I ask her if we can do dinner instead. Unfortunately she already had dinner plans with her boyfriend, but the way she told me was almost like this is all my fault.
Well I felt bad, but I did try to coordinate schedules. After studying today, I checked out a condo with RedSox and he tells me that the game doesn't start until 3pm AND he has 2 extra tickets so I can invite Roomate and her boyfriend. I immediately called Roomate and left a voicemail. I didn't hear back from her, but she was home when I got home.
I told her that I left her a message and she cut me off to say that she just listened to it. Unfortunately she can't go because when I cancelled lunch plans, she went ahead and made other plans.
Again the way it was said, "well when you cancelled"... almost like "well if you hadn't screwed things up, maybe we coulda hung out."
Now I know I'm probably over-reacting, but that's why I'm writing it in my blog... because now that I've said it, I feel much better. I also realize that I should try not to please everyone when I should focus on my exam or better yet MYSELF.
