Plans. What Were Those Again?

 

It's almost scary how blasé I have become regarding counting on things turning out just as planned and on the original date, too. Workshops or conferences might be cancelled/postponed/virtualised at short notice. Performances could be cancelled or postponed due to the stars of the show becoming ill or Corona regulations having changed. Dinner guests might get tested positive for Covid and have to quarantine. You yourself might have to do so. Flights might be cancelled last minute because of a shortage of crew or ground staff on strike. Trains might be so full that passengers with valid tickets are kicked out. Something you ordered might not get delivered on time because of a shortage of raw materials or manpower. For more than two years now I have mentally added a "tentative" sticker on all plans and I am beginning to think that this is not a temporary phase, but will remain so forever.
