What goes around comes around

Do you believe in Karma? I've had experiences that have happened often enough that I do not think I can dismiss as irony.

Take today, for example. I was supposed to meet Friend A who has been asking to meet up with me for weeks. Friend B wanted to meet up as well (as did as Friend C), but I made Friend A a priority because this was the friend I had not caught up with the longest among the 3, and A's company was the one I really wanted today (apart from my lovely fiance's). Friend C didn't contact me today, so that was an awkward situation avoided.

So I waited for A, who had a commitment to attend to first, and took a raincheck on the meeting with B. And waited all afternoon for A who, after our initial contact, didn't get in touch with me until I texted to check on the status hours later. Only to be told that A was tired and wanted to meet another day. To be honest, it felt very much like the time that I was 'on call' to go into work on a Sunday. It was a complete waste of the day. I could have met up with B. Run some errands. Anything. Instead I waited by the phone.

But was it payback for 'blowing off' Friend B who really wanted to hang out today? Probably. It sucked and ended an otherwise fun weekend on a slightly down note. Oh, and it sucked even more considering that A only agreed to come out clubbing last night because she had another group of friends going and spent the whole night with them. What the.
