More ranting and raving...

So when I found out my show was extending, I decided to wait a little bit and not tell some people who hadn't seen it yet. You know, to kind of let them think that this weekend really was the last weekend- to see if they really would make it to my show after all.

Well, at work, it ended up coming out at staff meeting (and not from my mouth) that my show had been extended for two more weeks, which prompted an immediate collective sigh and round of exclamations to the tune of, "Oh thank goodness! Now I'll be able to see it!" Which prompted me to say (in my head), "Yeah, because you've only had SIX WEEKS TO COME SEE MY SHOW!! But glad you feel so confident that you can find a night in the next two weeks, when you couldn't find one over the past month and a half."

But that not being a very nice thing to say, I just smiled politely.

But what really gets my goat, is that when my show finally is over, inevitably...There's going to be at least two (or ten) people, who, (and this applies to people who live here and promised they would come see my show) will come up to me and say, as they gently put their hand on my shoulder, "I'm so sorry I didn't get to see your show, Katy. I was just so busy." To which I will desperately want to reply, "Seriously? For the past eight weeks you were busy? There wasn't one night you could have come out to see me?" Because that's what I'll be thinking.

Which makes me think I need to come up with a good comeback for when this happens, because I can't really say the above mentioned, nor can I say something like, "Oh that's okay," because really...It's not okay. I need something...witty, something that seems sincere or even is sincere, but that has a nice undertone of slap in the face...

Any ideas would be appreciated.
