Ok...school's about to start, and football games are just on the horizon.
Here's my position:
When I woke up today (11am) I got a phone call from the football coach...but more known to me as my math teacher. He tells me he needs someone to videotape the football games, and he thinks I'm a dependable person to do it.
I told him I would think about it, so he told me to call him tomarrow. Now, the only problem is: I don't remember if he told me he needs someone to tape the HOME games (could actually roll my lazy ass out of bed to tape these) or if he just said he needed someone to tape THE games.
Now, I'm willing to tape the home games, but I'm afraid if I call him and say "Hey Mr. Nelson, I can do the home games," he'll give me some jazz like "Well what about the away games?" or "Well I would need you to do the away games too."
I know what you're all thinking--this is the pettiest of problems you've ever read; but alas! My Math/Football Coach is the ONE PERSON YOU DON'T WANT to displease. I actually didn't even want to tape the games, but in fear of getting bashed my entire math career I thought otherwise.
What should I do?
Should I tell him I'll do home games and say I can't do away games if they need to be taped?
Should I tell him I don't want to tape the games?
Be my conscience.
