Be Optimistic.

I hate when people don't make good plans. About a month ago, my friend Justin from work decided that we should all go to Fright Fest at Six Flags on October 5th (yesterday). So we all thought this was a great idea and six of us requested off from work. Now we're all anticipating this day because we thought we'd have so much fun. Thursday night, I was standing in aisle 20 at work putting back returns when my phone rang with a text message. I checked it and it was Toniann (one of the other girls who was coming) telling me that she had just found out Six Flags was closed! Since Justin made the plans, I walked over to the deli department where he works and asked him if he had ever checked the Six Flags calendar. The answer was not surprising- of course he didn't!

So now the six of us were stuck with nothing to do. For the remainder of my shift at work we all tried to figure out something to do. There was no point in doing nothing since we all had off anyway. One girl came up with the idea of going to Atlantic City. That was quickly shot down because only 3 of the 6 of us are of age to gamble in AC. We eventually decided on going to a restaurant in the city. Plans were made to leave Staten Island around 1:00 and i thought all was good.

So yesterday I had my friend John pick me up around 2:30, because God forbid anyone got up early enough to leave at 1. Now when John and I met up with everyone else we found out that first we were going ot the Staten Island Mall and then to the city to see an IMAX movie.

It annoys me so much when people make plans and don't stick with them, or don;t have the courtesy to at least discuss things with the other people. At the time, I was very annoyed and aggravated because we ended up not leaving the Island until 5:30.

When we got into the city I ended up having a lot of fun. The movie was good and we had a lot of laughs along the way. When we got home I had even better time because I saw friends that I haven't seen in a few months. Overall, the day was a pain in the ass to plan, but I had a lot of fun.

I guess sometimes it's good to deviate from the plans.
