I'll throw in some Exalted to make it a little palatable, but this is just stress relief.

The thing is, I understand that this time, I'm being unreasonable. I've backed out of stuff I said I was going to do before, and people were pretty forgiving, and I've had worse reasons then "Nobody will cover for me.". But, to tell the truth, this was almost as much a test to recover some of my good graces post-leaving that my boss had never once had since I began work. After being berated and called in and working for peanuts, at the end of my work period, I've asked for a single inconvenient day off that's at the end of a week long vacation that, well, followed a week long vacation by two days.

I'm really not surprised that my dad doesn't follow my logic, because when he says that this isn't that important, it's true. But, on the other hand, I'm currently measuring this time with my friends as something I can't get back. I'm trading the goodwill of a fickle and abusive small business owner for the graduation party of, not just some of my closest friends, but in a way, my own. I never had one myself, and when I mentioned it offhand, Brian was quick to tell me that I could celebrate mine with him. It's not my party, but I can celebrate like it is.

I wasn't able to get that across to my dad in any meaningful way, which made me feel kind of bad.

So, I promised a little gaming cookie to make up for a kinda bitter pill.
Fun Fact: Autochtonians was specifically designed to accommodate Darth Vader, Samus Aran, and other famous robotic pop culture icons - one for each Caste. Sure enough, not only are there light sabers, but also a beam cannon and a beam grapple hook.
