No other people cancelling last minute fucks up everything, I've already set aside time for this and spent time waiting for this. I basically couldn't do anything else that day, and now they fucking cancelled so it was all for nothing? Fuck that, it's annoying as hell and now my day is wasted...

On the other hand, I now have free time I would have otherwise not planned for.

So I can think of what ambitious thing I want to do or learn, spend the day deciding on it, and then "maybe tomorrow" it for 5 years until I finally forget.
Over 3 years ago at some point I decided to learn C++ and Japanese (I had free time). I'd still kinda like to, at least C++, the human language to learn has changed, but I don't quite have time today, so maybe tomorrow. (Not made up)

Exactly, now i have time that instead of being spent nurturing a friendship is just lost to my own inability to do stuff...and because i kind of want to do something but can't get my self to do it, I end up hating the idle alone time instead. If it's planned alone time I love it.
