Furbowl Report
15 years ago
I ended up going to Furbowl. Nearly backed out at the last minute, though. Not only because I was feeling uneasy about the whole thing, but my mother was fighting until the end about how I should drop my entire life to be at her convenience.
In the end, I'm kinda glad I went with it. I actually ended up being useful at this one. Someone had to be in charge of keeping the fursuiters hydrated, so I spent the night filling up cups of water for everyone. Okay, I'll admit that it's not the biggest, most awesome thing evar, and it's not like I'll get any recognition for it (nor do I expect it), but at least it gave me something to do for once, other than sitting around doing nothing or wandering the bowling alley aimlessly...The latter of which I was spending the first half of the night doing.
I'd prolly do it again, assuming there's still a need, and I can request evenings off from work on a monthly basis. I'm sure my boss won't flat-out refuse, but I don't know how she's gonna react to me suddenly going from requesting off maybe once a year to requesting a night off once every month. I'll have to talk to her about it.
Unrelated note: Truck repair got delayed again. Circumstances beyond anyone's control, so I just gotta deal with it and be without a vehicle for a bit longer.
