Gonna rant a bit.....
Weekends are valuable time. One thing that really ticks me off is when I have to 'waste' this time on instances that I really don't see the point in participating in. I am facing two such instances this weekend. Tomorrow night my wife has invited a group of friends (that we just saw last weekend) over to our house for another get together. Don't get me wrong...like the people well enough and I like getting together but, we just saw them last week. Really don't need a repeat gathering so soon. Plus, a couple of the guys in this group are tough to talk to...very dry and frankly boring. It'd be a neat experiment but I'd be willing to bet I could type out the minimal, emotionless conversation I'll end up having with them right now....record the actual conversations that night....and they'd be spot on...because why???.... it's the same topics and points every time. Ugh!! Not trying to be mean but just being honest. In my eyes if spending time with friends was the point of tomorrow night she should have targeted a different group of friends to do it with, ones that we haven't seen in a while. But...whatever....I'm obligated now due to her commitment.
Saturday my wife agreed to visit one of her former co-workers of which I HAVE to go because literally the last five times she's went over to see her or they've came here I've either stayed home or left. Again, it's the husband. dude is no fun at all to hang with and I know (from my wife) that he has cheated on his wife and I've witnessed him wasted and he's just not nice. So, I don't like hanging out with the guy. He and his wife are working through the infidelity and working on saving their marriage....good for them....they have three young sons our kids age so I'm glad they didn't just throw in the towel....but, I simply don't like the guy. But, being that I've skipped so many of these get together's...again, I'm obligated to go.
So simply put...due to obligation I'm going to have to waste my Weekend nights this weekend on situations I would prefer not to be in. I'll try to make the best of them I suppose but bottom line is I really just felt like whining and pouting about it.
