Today I got no work done. Spent ages trying to find somewhere to sit and there was not really any spaces in any of the libraries around with unoccupied plugs. Then I was supposed to meet with a friend at 11 and they arrived at 12:30. I could’ve found somewhere to sit and asked them to join me, but I just wanted to go home at that point. Came down with a massive headache.
At least I got 20,000 steps in. Now I shall keep warm and attempt the work I wanted to do. There’s always tomorrow after all.
I could’ve just sat down and studied - that’s what we were there for - but I couldn’t find a spot in the area we were supposed to meet. If I had just gone myself to the area I was going to go in, it would’ve been fine.
I just realised I did end up going to my work area, got set up, and then I had to go out and get them because I was sitting in a ID card required space that they couldn’t enter.
But yeah, next time, I will go somewhere they can enter.
It’s actually a different “friend” unfortunately. I’ve had to set boundaries with them because they were ruminating about a problem and bringing me down. Today they brought up that problem, despite me communicating to them that constantly bringing up a problem and pretty much trauma dumping on me was a problem. So I am done with them I think.

11 / 12:30 is pretty rough. No call or text?
Got a message saying they’d be running late, but didn’t get anymore updates until they got there, despite me asking.
That is just no respect for your time. Not a good friend.

Next time when they are a bit late go to your work area , send them a message telling them where you are, and say you will wait for them there
If they complain tell them your time is valuable. ( and it really is , it’s not just words )

Sounds like the same friend who keeps arriving late.

The other late friend has improved quite a bit.
it’s appalling 😠
