T'Mahk Too - Comments on waiting ... waiting ... http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000720.html In retrospect, I guess it was a stupid plan Yesterday someone called and said she'd stop by this morning around 9, for an exchange of goods. I said fine, that I'd be up ... still in my shorts/t-shirt jammies, but... en-gb Sat, 09 Jun 2007 09:53:01 -0500 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:50:06 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.1 kim@andfam.net 180 By Rebecca Newport How frustrating!

If you're in the shower when and if she arrives, have her sit and wait while you finish...leisurely. Greet her with a smile and say, "Thanks for waiting! I was expecting you at 9:00!"

I did finally move on, exercising, showering, eating lunch, and napping. :-) Too funny on the shower & making her wait, though. I think I just read too much into the "I'll drop by around 9" thing, and perhaps over-emphasized the "no problem, I'm flexible." :-) http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000720.html#c80409 80409:720@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I guess you're right, Betsy.

My no. 1 pet peeve is people who say they are coming and don't show up... or at least call!!

She taught me to never be late and it's become my obsession and pet peeve. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000720.html#c81990 81990:720@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ My mama always said, "Time is the one thing you can steal from someone that you can never repay."
