I don't want to give you an excuse, but I was at work from 8am Saturday until 3am Sunday trying to complete a task that gave my team nothing but problems. I was hoping to have it well enough along by 6pm to be able to join you, but I had a team of 6 other people who I asked to come in on Saturday and could not leave them in the middle of the job. There was nothing I could do about it but I will admit that I certainly should have called you. One way or another I worked 32 hours this 'Holiday' weekend. <br /><br>I know it means nothing to you and I know I completely let you down. I apologize, though I'm sure my apology seems somewhat shallow since I didn't even bother to call you until now. Aaron, if you had any idea how my life was going right onw with this project and school, you might understand. I'd like to talk to you about it but I honestly don't even have the time to buy myself a mattress for my new apartment. Sleeping on the floor sure is great. Anyway, my sob story sucks, you are going through a very tough time and I said I would be there for you and did not folloow through with that. I sincerely apologize for letting you down and would like to ask if you would consider joining me for dinner in Silver Spring. I would say this weekend but I have 2 finals, a paper and 3 weeks of statistics homework to get through this weekend. Top that off with the formal test of the system I've been designing starts on Monday and we are about 1000 miles away from being anywhere near ready. I know it is meaningless to you so I'll just quit my story and ask for your forgiveness as a friend. I know I let you down, and I'm sorry.<br /><br><br /><br>Paul Just so everyone knows I am one of the assholes who said he would be there and didn’t show up.

Once you have done that, then all I ask is that you admit you were wrong and I'll forgive you. No hard feelings on it. You wronged me though and I don't know that you are fully appreciating that. As for you forgiving me... man, I haven't done anything wrong. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I only ask that you put yourself in my shoes and take that upon you.
