I am sitting here looking at
two passes to the Seattle listening party next Monday night. Whoo
hoo! But this means I will have to call in sick to work, both Monday
and Tuesday, because this is a six hour drive from where I live.
Somebody tell me it's no big deal, will ya? I have lots of
sick time built up, I never get sick. I deserve this, don't I? I
hate being so good all the time....
All my vacation time is
already spoken for, preapproved for my trip to GL Summer Camp in NJ.
So it's sick or not at all.
I need evil lessons.

Every review I've seen of the
listening sessions has been lukewarm. They're only playing 1/2 of
the album.
It's not worth the trip or the guilt.

It sounds like a good time.
Someone else can do your job for you while you go listen to the cd.

Thanks, Cokey, you're very
helpful today. You don't have to think quite that hard, it's ok.

I'm not gonna be in help
either, GR. I would not call in sick to hear half of the album. I'd
save calling in sick for concert possibilites. I am one of those
people who HATE to call in sick.

Patty! Don't be such a wet
blanket. She should go! It's only about 12 hours driving plus 2 sick
days plus it might mean she won't use sick days for concerts which
will free up some tickets!
At least she'll be able to wear
make-up. Not like PRR who had to rough it in Austin.
Have
fun, GR!

Ok, GR, here's the real
answer.
On the night that the listening party takes place,
and at the time they're about to start playing the cd, if you're not
there, how will you feel?

If you think you'll feel like
shit and you're missing out on something and it affects your
attitude at work those two days, then you should go.

It would be insane to travel
that far to hear 1/2 of the album. It would be insane to travel that
far to hear the entire album.
Use your sick days to stay
home and sleep in.

For my own part, I would not
drive all that way to hear 6-7 songs. Two of which you will have
heard already (if your luck holds).
Use the 2 sick days to drive
to Phx or SLC for a show
Meet ya there

Well, let's see......I
haven't heard, Glory, it's morally wrong to call in sick when you
aren't. I have heard, you're an idiot to like B**** that
much. I have heard, call in sick later for other better things that
will mean more.
I will say however that realistically there
isn't much chance of getting to shows near here soon, because there
probably won't be any. And by the time there actually are
some near me, I will have more vacation time built up.
I'll
let you know Tuesday what I decided. And whether anyone used the
second pass I have.

Sick days are not just for
being sick. They are needed for those "mental health days" too.
But personally, I wouldn't make the drive to hear the album.
A live show, well now, that's another story. But I wouldn't feel
guilty about using mental health time - unless there's something
pressing going on at work and you pawn it off on someone else. THAT
would make me feel guilty.
It's alright, it's
alright,Yeah

GR, don't listen to 'em. Take
the days off... you only live once... treat yourself.
This
from someone who has flown to the US not once, but twice, to see
some B**** shows. I always use the deathbed argument: "Yes, I'm glad
I went to work those two days instead of the great adventure of
driving all that way to listen to 1/2 an album". Stuff like the
latter is what life is all about.

You're absolutely right, Mr.
P. I've made life-altering choices by thinking, When I'm 90 and
sitting in my rocking chair on the porch of the Home for the Aged
and Insane, reviewing my life, am I going to think, Gee, I'm glad I
made that safe, "right" choice, or will I think DAMN, I wish I'd
gone for it? Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith...
But I digress. The listening party: hell, GR, it's no big
whoop to miss work. I'm sure you're normally a paragon of virtue and
industry there. Go. If nothing else, it'll be a fun story to tell
people (or to try and hide because it's so embarrassing, LOL.)
Plus, I really want to read your review.

Well, I've put a little
thought into it today, since the UPS man in the big brown van
arrived at my door. The question in the beginning was not
whether to go or not, but how to manage the work situation.
But it did develop into whether or not to even go, since it seems
there are more than a few people who have been less than thrilled
with what they have heard at the listening parties, and it's so
short, and so far away.
But what it comes down to is what
I want, and whether I think it's worth expending the effort
to get myself 300+ miles to attend it. And it may be a
disappointment when it's all said and done, I don't have a way to
predict that. I do know that I have only been to three B**** events
in my life, all of them shows. This won't be a show, but there will
be real B**** fans there, and I don't have any of those in my life.
That's enough to make me want it. So I'm going, assuming I can get
past that phone call to work.
I'll try for a review, Lisa,
but I can pretty much already tell you that I'm gonna love it all.

Maybe this'll help:
"I called up my boss,
I told him I was sick
Can't
help you son, but you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder
what am I gonna do, gotta find a cure for the Summertime Blues"
Maybe the listening party will be the cure 
it's all right
to have a good time
