n = Grown Up Problems

I recently came across a less than pleased friend about his opinions on working on MLK. Mind you that this is a holiday weekend, something adults look forward to with great anticipation. This is his story...

Now to set the mood, people just came over for wine and cheese night. Drew saunters into the room.

Yo, you would not believe what my boss asked me to do today. He comes up to me, "Hey Drew, do you have any plans for this weekend?"

I looked up suspiciously, "No, but I am really looking forward to relaxing."

"Great! Would you mind coming in on Monday?"

"I am the ONLY black guy on this team! And you are going to ask me to come in on the ONLY black holiday my people got?"...well I said this in my head. What I actually said was, "Sure, no problem." and I said it with a big 'ol smile!


It might have been a YOU HAD TO BE THERE kind of moment, but we were rolling! Realistically, as an adult, sometimes we have to do things that we don't want to...but that's okay! Grown up problems....
