Excuse me while I bitch

So, I'm online just surfing and through some links I find out that comedan John Heffron will be at Royal Oaks Comedy Castle in November! Sweet! He's a local comedian who hit it big with Last Comic Standing. Rob and I saw him in Ann Arbor a couple years back. Effing hilarious. And I can't go. It's not the money that's preventing me from going this year (only $20 a pop). Here's a hint: the show is in November. What's the big holiday in November? Thanksgiving. Good. We're doing good here. And what follows Thanksgiving? Black Friday. Every retailers wet dream and every poor retail slave's nightmare. Opening at 6 am and being there until 11 pm. I'll be drawed and quartered for taking off early that weekend. Last year on Black Friday I worked open until close and did it all again on Saturday. *sob* Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. The only positive spin to put on this is that, since I work on commision, I'll be making some money. Nope. Doesn't make me feel all that much better.
