... I was going to see The Accountant 2 Wednesday afternoon, the second of two days I had off this week. But I took back my paid time off for both days -- I'll say why later -- and so I obviously can't go at that time. I had time to go to the theater I was going to see the movie after the MNUFC Loss, so I wanted to make sure it was OK for me to switch. Now, this is not my hometown theater. I have asked to see the movie I bought a ticket online for at a screening different than the one I paid for, and they were totally OK with it. But the guy I spoke to said I had to talk with Atom, the application through which I bought the ticket. Weird.
I didn't have to "talk" to Atom. Instead, the means to cancel the ticket was right there, and I did. I have $5 in credit to see any other movie I want to see at any time I want now. I was planning to see The Accountant 2 this/Monday evening, well after work, though. I was kind of bummed out about that because I told my parents I would be eating out. But what do I do now that I can't go to a movie I planned on going to?
And then I remembered that we are seeing my niece (and her two parents) Saturday. I have been fretting for some time when I could get my hair cut and my face shaved. Doing that this week would be next to impossible considering I am routinely working so late, every barbershop is probably closed by the time I get done with work. But I think I need to look presentable to my niece, so I have to find time to get my hair cut and my face shaved. And you know, cancelling the movie means I can do it tonight!
One problem: Severe weather is forecast for the evening. And when I say severe, I mean severe. They have that 1-to-5 scale of predicting how bad the severe weather could be. I usually see the Twin Cities at a 1, maybe a 2 on occasion. Tonight/Monday night, we're at a 4. I thought 4's were only reserved for states south of here. This is the first time I have seen the Twin Cities at risk for moderate severe weather, and that scares the hell out of me. If it's going to be that bad out there, I don't know if I should get groomed. Maybe I should head for home, or maybe even camp out at work until the storm blows over. Either way, I feel like I'm taking a massive risk going out after work just to get to get my hair cut and my face shaved so my niece doesn't think I'm a slob. What bad timing.
