[Hi, Community. Have the stressed face of a mid-twentysomething man peering intently at you.]

How would you break it to an - er - very good friend that you've picked up a Christmas shift and need to cancel plans?

[Look, he'd ask someone else--

He just has no one else to ask. Don't judge him. :T]

Christmas shift? Is that a Muggle disease?

... I laughed so hard.

[invasiondenied.livejournal.com]

A shift at work, I mean.

[BAFFLED]

I'm working on the holiday.

:D

[darklycharming.livejournal.com]

Ah. What plans did you have to cancel?

[invasiondenied.livejournal.com]

Just dinner. Still - I'm afraid he'll take it hard.

[darklycharming.livejournal.com]

Can you not have dinner after your work?

[invasiondenied.livejournal.com]

It's two to midnight.. I guess we could have lunch before it.

[darklycharming.livejournal.com]

Or even the next day.

If he is a good friend then surely he will understand.

[invasiondenied.livejournal.com]

He's a very, very good friend.

I hope you're right.

[darklycharming.livejournal.com]

A very, very good friend should forgive you then.

That's what I'm banking on. [A sigh.] I'm really going to have to do something special to make it up, though.
