People suck, but not the Twins

I'm not a planner. You know why? Because everytime I make plans - rearrange my schedule, tell friends I'm not free, give up a job - people cancel on me. I've had it. Seriously, in the last two weeks I have had five actual planned events. Do you know how many have been cancelled? Four. I'm done. It's not fair to me, it's not fair to the people I work for, it's not fair to my other friends whom I have told I can't go out because I have something to do. By the way, this is not a knock at the people who read this blog - just a statement about where I'm at these days because I'm sick and tired of this and I'm done with it.

Case in point, I made an arrangement to meet with someone last week. Do you know what? They never showed up, never called, never e-mailed and when I talked to them next I never even got an acknowledgement or apology. So not cool. And the world wonders why I hate people.

So anyway, there I was at Twins Unplugged yesterday, bored out of my mind without even a book to entertain me and a dead cell phone battery. The actual event was fun, just not the waiting hours for it to start. The freaks that show up at those events are somewhat scary in a harmless kind of way. I really don't want to be associated in anyway with "that creepy fan". The train lady was there and she totally freaks me out. Anyways, the Twins gifted me with free tickets (for halfway insulting Cuddyer, go me!) and I also won a signed Brad Radke baseball. I knew the Twins loved me.

Bonus - gas prices in Shakopee were 20 cents lower than anywhere else. A fact I was aware of, but something not worth driving there just to take advantage of.

ETA - And now I've lied because I just got an e-mail about plans for tonight. However, these plans are set in stone and nothing short of death or dismemberment will cause their cancellation.
