Reason Number 102

SCM has something he wants to talk about.

I know that he has something he wants to talk about because he stands right next to me and stares until I acknowledge his existence.

He is currently employed at one of the high end restaurants in the Land Of Mickey and Donald and a few times a year, they are given tickets for free admission into the park.

Our conversation went as follows:

SCM: I received three new employee tickets from my job last week.

Me: Great, what’s the deal with them?

SCM: I can get three people in with myself until January 1.

Me: Are there any black out days?

SCM: From the 22nd of Dec through Christmas I believe. Maybe one or two days in November

ME: Oh. Well since I like to take the kid during my Christmas vacation, do you know if the passes you were given earlier have black out days?

SCM: They are good until January 2010.

Me: But if I want to use those instead for the days that are blacked out on the others, can I do that?

SCM: THE ARE GOOD UNTIL 2010!

Me: (running out of patience). Okay, why don’t you try ANSWERING MY G_D DAMNED QUESTION.

SCM; I DID. I ANSWERED IT TWICE.

Me (deep breath) Try this rewind what I asked in your head, pretend there are actually two people in this conversation and answer the one and only question asked of you.

SCM: I am SORRY I brought it UP.


SCM storms out with a few choice words and how I like to bitch at him for no reason. I am smart enough not to follow him because now he is in a mood and it is quite obviously all my fault.

To his credit, he does actually think about what just transpired and came back with the older tickets stating there are no black out days.

Reason number 102, he is unable to participate in a conversation involving more than just him and his head.
