it's pretty rare for people to flake on me. i think it's because people like me. it might be because i make plans with so little time in advance there's no way to weasel out. nonetheless, on each of the last two evenings, i've had people cancel on me. goddamn planning.
but it's worked out. sort of. instead of drinks and dinner, i "decided" to work. and by work, i mean play cards. i think that sounds terribly pretentious -- when you refer to playing a game as work -- but when you're counting on the money to pay your apartment and nourishment, it is what it is.
i've been running a little salty recently; it may have something to do with my karma being shit right now. so instead of pushing things, i've pretty much stayed away from the (virtual) table. but my "diligence" paid off during the unexpected open spots in my schedule. a few fortunate cards, some horrendous play by my fellow players, and the last two days have given me rent and a token for my orange savings account.
all the same, i'd like to avoid the flaking moving forward. the good luck can stay though.
