What really frustrates me is that I don't live with 'em, and this is something I'm doing as a favor to them - I have to go out of my way to do stuff like this, sometimes by quite a bit. The LEAST they could do is let me know BEFORE I get off work what I'm supposed to do with regards to movin' 'em around.

I'm sooo tempted to just go straight from my haircut to the bluegrass jam I go to on Fridays, without trying to figure out where they are or if they want to go.

I know how that goes. Reminds me of something I was just reading Aragorn saying in "Fellowship":

"If Gondor, Boromir, has been a stalwart tower, we have played another part. . .And yet less thanks we have than you. Travellers scowl at us, and countrymen give us scornful names. 'Strider' I am to one fat man who lives within a day's march of foes that would freeze his heart, or lay his little town in ruins if he were not guarded ceaselessly. Yet we would not have it otherwise. If simple folk are free from care and fear, simple they will be. . ."

So take heart: you're in good company! :)
