More than a little cheesed off!
I ventured out today, in the -50C wind chill to go to work. I was supposed to have three appointments, but I knew after a phone call from one of my coworkers earlier today that one of my clients had canceled. I went in early to fill some time between my coworker being done work, and my first appointment. I did some reading, and finally 3:30 rolled around and my client didn't show up. I called him at about 3:45 to see if he was coming, and his response...."I couldn't get a cab, I was thinking about calling you earlier to let you know." Do you think?? Man...not even an apology or anything. Just "the world revolves around me" attitude that a lot of people seem to have when they miss an appointment. So I sat back down with my book and continued to read and hang out until my second appointment at 6pm. Six rolled around and no client. I thought to myself....I am sure my misfortune isn't so great that I would have ventured out in the -50C wind chill for ABSOLUTELY NO reason! So at 6:15pm I called the client, and what did I get....no apology for a missed appointment, just a "Oh, I must have forgotten to put it into my PDA." Grrrr, what a VERY frustrating day!! Thankfully the Tim Horton's by us is open now and I was able to stop on the way home and buy some donuts to pacify myself :P
