Confession:
When I make plans with someone, I have mini panic attacks from the moment I agree to something (even if it was my idea), until the moment I cancel or I chicken out of chickening out and canceling…and the plans actually happen.
I feel like Ryan when Andy was asking him to speak at his small business owners’ meeting:
Andy: Hi, Ryan, you went to business school, right?
Ryan: Yup.
Andy: I need somebody to talk to this seminar about business.
Ryan: And?
Andy: Can you do it?
Ryan: Okay. I don’t… I don’t like committing to things just like that.
Andy: So no?
Ryan: No, I don’t like committing to not doing things, either. That’s just as big a commitment.
Kelly: Oh, baby.
Andy: What do I put you down for, bro hombre?
Ryan: Yes.
Andy: All right!
Ryan: Yes, I’ll do it.
Andy: Okay, than you so much. It’s going to be so awesome.
Ryan: And if I flake, I flake.
Andy: What?
If I flake, I flake. <————-My mantra.
