If I tell someone ...I'm the same was as you, Mindy. If I tell someone I'm going to do something by a certain date or time I make sure it gets done. On those occasions where things beyond my control cause delays, I call and inform the person of the delay BEFORE the deadline.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-9789942204183469402007-02-14T10:05:00.000-08:002007-02-14T10:05:00.000-08:00I guess at least he knew he screwed up by screwing...I guess at least he knew he screwed up by screwing you around, and tried to make amends.

I'm sure you'll find a creative use for the marble. <BR/><BR/>It's really amazing how many people think that things like deadlines and promises just don't matter all that much. It's a terrible way to do business. Call me anal, but when someone says they'll be done with something on a certain date, they sure as hell better be or I get all bent out of shape. Because when I say I'll have something done, be it work or freelance stuff or even just a friendly favor, it'll be done - even if I have to work late or rearrange things to make it happen. <BR/><BR/>You've hit a terrible string of luck, but maybe the free marble is a turning point.
