I have somewhat of a bad memory... So this Monday is Memorial Day. As many of you know, I got a new gig 2 months ago, and for the past month and a half I've been working both Saturday and Sundays at the new gig. That means, working 7 days a week. Don't get me wrong, I take a day off from my Monday-Fri if I ever feel too tired from it and so far I've done it twice.
Back to the point.. This past week, my wife says she wants to go to the movies (that's all she ever asks me to take her out to; no dinners, clubs or whatever.. theaters is all she really wants) on Sunday night after work, because I'd be able to stay up late and not have to worry about work...
So I get a phone call from my co-worker at my new gig, and asks me if I'm willing to work on Monday from 8:30am to 4:30pm and he also gave me the option to work 'til 8:30pm if I wanted to. I immediately said yes because, 1. I forgot it was a holiday and 2. I wanted more money.
I ended up telling my wife, and she immediately gets mad. I say what's wrong, and she starts going on about our date. All I could say is, I forgot it was my day off and there's nothing I could do since I already said I'd cover it...
Anyway, I have a bad habit of forgetting certain things and this is just one of 'em.
By the way, she apologized for over re-acting. Though, I had to promise not to forget our wedding anniversary (July 5th).
