Oh, there it is. The guilt. I did this to myself, I can deal with that. But, oh! The lies I told!
Monday: (band mate) Sorry can't make it band practice tonight, a work thing came up. (lie)
Monday (follow-up): (same band mate) Wednesday? Sure, I'll be there! (lie, but I didn't yet know it)
Wednesday: (same band mate) Shoot man! I'm just feeling really lousy. Any chance we can just scrap it tonight? (lie, and the second lie of Monday comes to fruition)
Thursday: (co-worker) Hey, any chance you can work for me tonight? Something's come up (lie)
Friday: (all of my co-workers) My birthday was awesome! Got together and jammed with the band, then chilled out at home. (lie and lie)
Dammit! All the freaking lies!
