*&^%$#@!
words cannot express my extreme irritation at my workmates today.
they wanted an out-of-office activity together. they found out i play badminton regularly, and said they wanted to play, too. they told me (note, not asked, not urged, but TOLD me) to organize regular badminton nights for the office. that was last year, and since the nearest courts were booked all the way until january, i made arrangements for this month. being the smart cookie that i am, i just booked two nights out of the four weeks of february. they wanted it to be every week. someone even said i should book two courts in one night. shyeah right.
so why am i fuming??? today, when we were supposed to play TONIGHT, they told me they can't make it. TODAY. less than twelve hours before the actual play time. oh, and did i tell you that i booked the courts EIGHT WEEKS IN ADVANCE??? and PAID for it in FULL???
if you have problems with commitment, PLEASE don't tell me to make court reservations so you can play "when you feel like it." please don't encourage me to go ahead and make plans - and even reserve an EXTRA COURT - when you can't even say if you are going or not. and PLEASE don't expect me to arrange any more "office activities" at MY OWN EXPENSE, and expect me to be HAPPY about it when you guys leave me at the very last minute.
apparently anyone who makes plans with me is a flake-off. friends, potential suitors, co-workers. flake flake flake.

what we did was put together a common fund for our office badminton games. anyone who wanted to play had to pay before reservations were made. this way, people are less likely to back out since they already paid, and those who do, well, sorry na lang sila :)
... or maybe that was what i did for badminton games with another group of people...
good idea. except that nobody commits, and as long as they don't commit, they won't pay. they WILL, however, continue to ask when the nextgame is. duh. i think solvent inhalation has impaired their mental faculties. and i don't think they had a lot to begin with. (obviously, i'm still pissed.)
