I skipped my buddy's 30th birthday for a double shift and now I'm down a friend
My friend Mike turned 30 last Saturday and I had to choose between his party at a bowling alley in Portland or covering a double at the restaurant. I picked the shift because I was short $200 on rent and my boss said he'd remember the favor. Mike texted me Sunday asking where I was and I told him the truth, and he just said 'cool' and hasn't replied to anything in 9 days. I think I made the wrong call, because rent is temporary but Mike was there for me when my car died last winter. How do you even come back from skipping something like that?
