‘Dilemma’

WARNING: The following post contains first world problems and may lower your intelligence…

Every year around the lovely month of May, I get asked what I’ll be doing during the summer and every year I answer with a simple I don’t know. However, this year, when I got asked I answered that I’ll be working my ass off trying to make what you, my dear reader, would consider to be under minimal wage. Now, give me one option and I will not complain, but when you give more than one, I become miserable. A few hours ago I became just that.

When an average (sane) person gets offered a free holiday to Canada by his relatives in exchange for a few days of babysitting, that person is filled with joy. However, I (insane) fall into deep thought and start questioning everything. It’s not that I don’t want to go to Canada (after rejecting a two week holiday in Italy the last thing I want to do is say no to this) it’s just that I promised a certain individual I’d ‘finally’ start working and ‘finally’ learn about the value of money.

As if the universe isn’t torturing me enough, I just read that Regina Spektor will be in Prague this August. I don’t think anybody is capable of understanding how much I admire Regina Spektor and how the chance to see her in concert here makes working for less than minimal wage worth it. Now, it’s not that I don’t want to go to Regina Spektor’s concert (and after rejecting an invite to see Imagine Dragons the last thing I want to do is say no to this) it’s just that I have an opportunity to fly to flipping Canada…

Help me, I don’t know what to do…
