Importance.

So I had this dream last night, and there's only so much I can remember. So here is what I do remember. The old boy, telling me that his GF is 'openminded', which he was guilty of taking advantage of. I said I didn't want to know. I also had lunch with the new boy and some random girl that I didn't know. Then I was sleeping on my mom's couch, and woke up, freaking out about being late for school. High school. So I jumped up off the couch and freaked, wondering how late I was. Every clock I saw had a different time, and for some reason, the letter y kept appearing in the time. Finally I figured out that it was the exact time that school was starting. I looked out the window, and there was a whole bunch of snow on the ground, so I figured I had an automatic excuse for being late. I also noticed that there was a pale yellow old ass Landrover in our driveway covered with at least four inches of snow.

And that's about all I remember. Two guys in the same dream, and a whole bunch of random stuff. I've never been so great at analyzing dreams, and even though it seems like it should mean something, I have no idea what that would be.

So tonight was this thing where the new boy was supposed to go with me, and he called around lunchtime to say he had a client he absolutely had to meet with today, and he would be late, but would call/text me and blah blah blah. Yes, I was irritated. But i figured he would call/text me as he said he would, so I let it go. So I went to the thing. And I waited. And waited. And nothing. I texted. Nothing. Needless to say, I wasn't in the greatest mood, but to be fair, it wasn't completely his fault. There were a whole bunch of things contributing to my bad attitude tonight.

So now it's almost 11pm, and I still haven't heard from him, even though his 'appointment' was at 6 and was only supposed to last about an hour. On the way home I started thinking about the whole situation. Here's the scenario: The guy has a client who must meet with him today because she is leaving town tomorrow and has to get this business done today. Okay, at first I'm fine with that. But then I start thinking about it, and I think, who the fuck gives up their personal life for business on less than 24 hours notice? And what could this person possible need that needs to be done today? These are typically long term investments, so a week or two will not make a giant difference. And if it is that fucking important, why would you wait until you are about to leave town to contact your adviser for emergency changes? You knew you were leaving town; why didn't you call a week ago? And yes, I understand that people are idiots and expect you to cater to their whims, but at some point, you just have to say no, right? And then there's this thought: where the fuck could this client be going that he can't talk to them about their 'emergency' investments on the phone? Are they going to fucking Pakistan or something? Is there really any place in this world that would prevent someone from doing business electronically?

I have recently told myself that I can trust him as long as he doesn't be me a reason to not trust him. And no, he's not my boyfriend, but it seems that standing me up today was pretty messed up. That said, he's not my boyfriend, so he has no reason to lie to me either. So I guess the real gist of the situation is that I'm less important than money. Awesome.
