GG UDE

I play World of Warcraft: The Trading Card Game. It's like Magic: The Gathering, but way more stupid and nerdy. I have been collecting since the beginning and I'm really excited that I think I'm good at the game, and because of that I decided I should go to a regional qualifier to see if I can actually go to nationals.

I hop on UDE's website and get the date, 15th of September there is one in Seattle. Alright awesome, like a month ago I requested this day off work. Now that it's here I've really started to crack down and work on my deck and get all nervous.

Looking for last minute tips I head over to the forums and try to get a feel for how many are going. Then I run across this post. Apparently because of a failed event earlier this month they have been canceling WA state events left and right, leaving the only regional left happening NEXT Saturday - a day I'm already scheduled to work and cannot get off.

Fuck.

I'm really angry right now - I can't work, they've already filled my shifts, and now I can't go play cards. So I miss out on money AND fun today. Complete waste of my time, and my friend's (who requested off work as well to come with me).
