Doing it tonight, however is a pain in the ass. I work in The Fourth Position today, all by myself. I need to get the work done because there is nobody else doing it today, and no one doing that job at all tomorrow. For that reason, there is a chance I will be late. I communicated my worry with my sibs. But instead of offering a compromise, my brother just bought the goddamn tickets for tonight on his own. I will probably have to leave stuff for one of my co-workers to do tomorrow, and that's not a good feeling to saddle someone with work to do when you had the chance to do it yourself. I certainly wouldn't want one of them drop crap on my lap, but turnabout is fair play, and that is what I'm going to invite if I don't do all the work by myself today.
I have a Friday off coming up. We certainly could have done the escape room then. I can't see why we couldn't wait and do it then. But nope, my brother said we're playing Friday. So I have to fucking drop every goddamn thing and race to the escape room. And I guess I shouldn't complain too much because my brother's the one buying the tickets, huh?
Moreover, my plan was to leave work early, go home, grab my sister and then go. Going from work to home takes me in the opposite direction of the escape room, but that seemed to be the only way for all of us to play this game. (It also necessitated me leaving work early if need be.) This is the part that pisses me off. While watching my alma mater's women's soccer team, I WhatsApped my sister that if I am able to get home in time, we have to immediately leave home to get to the escape room on time. Then, she countered that she wants to go to the mall by herself. She needs time to do that. And, she wants to take my car. I would then take my parents' very old van and meet her and my brother and my niece at the mall and the escape room in the evening. Well, shit.
Being blindsided by her decision the day before fucking sucks. I had to spend five minutes after I got home from the soccer Match taking out all the stuff I need to drive to work (sunglasses, sun visor, tire gauge to check the minivan's tires). Also, this is the second time this week I've had to settle on the van while she gets to drive the newer car. I sleep for lunch, and that's very hard to do in the van because the sun streams in through the windows; it gets hot and the radiation burns my skin. It's no problem in my car because I have window shields that are fitted for my car's windows. I obviously don't have them for the minivan, so I will probably be tired by the time we start the escape room because I haven't had my midday nap. But worst of all is that I have to take this minivan in afternoon rush to the Mall of America. Truthfully, I have no reason to believe it won't make it down there and back. But it is a very old car, and I haven't driven it that far in some time, let alone driving it during afternoon rush. There are certain aspects of this drive that will be foreign to me, and I hate needing to "learn" like this when my sister didn't have to shop by herself, and my brother didn't have to make the escape room tonight. In other words, I think I am going to get into a car crash, or the van's engine is going to overheat, and I will fail to make it to the escape room. It just feels like everything is getting set up this way.
Hate this. Hate this all. And I'm supposed to be having fun tonight, not feeling inconvenienced!
