HIvemind, I need advice. I committed to doing a walk-along today with that environmental canvassing group. I'm supposed to be there at 1:30 pm. However, my costume for Frankie isn't going to be ready in the next half hour, and I want to reschedue. How shitty would it be for me to call now (two hours ahead) and reschedule?
I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't know enough about the level of inconvenience to make the call on how shitty it would be, but if you have to reschedule it is what it is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Will you have time to finish the costume later, smonster? Which is more important? Will you lose the canvassing job if you reschedule last-minute? How much of a pain will it be for the others, and how do you feel about it?

I won't get home tonight until about 10 pm, and I won't know my call time for tomorrow until after 9 pm. So I don't know if I'll have time.
I don't think I'm screwing anyone over if I don't go today. I'm not that thrilled about the job anyway, but I don't want to ruin my reputation with them, either.

I think 2 hours is enough time to cancel/reschedule on a non-paying situation in favor of a paying one.

Jesus, Laura, that is fucking evil.

Holy shit, Laura. I am so sorry you need to be dealing with this.

Laura, I'm so sorry you have been going through that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Laura, how horrible. I hope you find a way out of this financial hell very soon!

Went back and read your post carefully, Laura. That is... mind-boggling. I absolutely don't get it. Evil, evil, evil.
I have rescheduled for next Wednesday. I feel less panicky now.
