I like my friends, I just don't like camping with them...is that so wrong?

I wrote this last time the topic came up.

That's Not Something I Do by choadwarrior 6-25-03

Hey, you wanna go camping with us during the third week in July? Let me check my calendar... Sorry, but I'm busy that week. What's going on? Nothing yet, but I'm sure something will come up.

Then the question came up again tonight and I sent him the last strip, which resulted in this response:

And of course, I responded with another.

Hey Eric, you want to go camping with us in the desert on Halloween? Haven't we been through this before? C'mon, it will be fun. It's not so much that I hate being dirty, hungry, cold, and generally uncomfortable. Then what is it? YOU'LL hate it when I'm dirty, hungry, cold, and generally uncomfortable.

Oh, and today was boss's day. I had no idea. I didn't get my boss anything, but my assistant got me a present, which is embarrassing because I never remember birthdays or other Hallmark holidays. I honestly just go to work for a paycheck, not to make friends or get gifts--I wish more people were like me.
