Woke up today and saw Nick failed his Friday make-up stream that was supposed to be Saturday.
Who wants to bet what his excuse is?
Kids and wife were already used this week. I say he doubles up on his parents' TOTALLY unexpected visit.
Legitimately, it your parents are visiting out of the blue and causing you issues, you need to be an adult and set boundaries. My family a few hours away knows more than well enough to give me some kind of notice before they turn up at mine--unless it is an emergency.
I fucking hate his wording when he posts explanations as to why he can't stream. It's always "I
have to do this, I
have to do that." never "I
get to do this, I
get to do that.", unless its about going on vacation, of course.
It might seem like a nitpick, but Nose prides himself on his ability to use the English language in its written form. Its a microaggression, a complaining tone you'd hear from a child telling their friends that they can't come out and play because they
have to do dishes
. Its a subtle hint of how much he hates having a family, how much he hates how they cramp his style. There are better ways to phrase your explanations, but the flippant tone of what he chooses to write further confirms that he's boiling like the still his body is having to deal with family life. Some examples of non-"I hate my family" tones in Nick's style:
"My parents are coming up from a warm climate to the frozen wasteland that is Minnesota, so we are going to visit the shit out of them when they get here, so there won't be a stream."
"The homeschool co-op has selected me to judge some speeches, so I'll be putting my English undergrad to good use preparing, so no stream today."
Also, I'm also not buying for a second that any of this stuff was last minute. Your parents don't just drop in from a 1700 miles away, especially with how close he always maintains that he was with his parents. Its more likely his schedule leaked out of one of the holes in his brain and he forgot. The childish tone then comes in to play in order to deflect fault. It's not his fault he can't stream, his parents just dropped in; nothing he could do.
EDIT: Clarity.
