GRRRR!!!! Ok, so I need to vent!
I'm now working full time @ the new hospital in Gig Harbor. I've been trying to sell my eggs, which I've gotten a lot of interest in.... unfortunately one of my friends is a flake. A TOTAL FLAKE. If she stands me up today, that's it! I'm not doing business with her, AT ALL. It's rude, and I don't care if she's my friend or the Dali Lama. If you say you'll pick up something, DO IT.
Worse part? She's a stay at home mom with a side photography business of her own. So, if anyone should know the importance of time management in business transactions, it should be her, right? Besides, I posted rules on my page about no shows and that my personal relationship is second to my business relationship during deals. A mutual friend who was here the last time she did something like this even told her later that I've been having an issue with No Calls / No Shows and to be more considerate (which, I didn't tell her to do, but I'm glad she didn't inform her that SHE'S the only one who does this.). At least the last time I was home and able to call her frequently and bug the heck out of her... but 1: I shouldn't be expected to keep her on track. 2: Not only do I have a full time job now, but I'm also expected to keep running this house, and so my time really is precious. And 3: Is she daft? She couldn't connect the dots and go... "Hmm, perhaps she's getting frustrated with ME and I should make sure that the next time I order I be more considerate?"
Beyond that, she's the only one I made a deal with and said I'd trade them eggs for photography. Let me just say, if this is the way she is as a customer, I'm re-thinking about hiring her! Bad PR on her end. Oy.
My DH stuck around most of the day on Saturday because she was going to be there at 11 am (I was at my full-time job). I didn't get a call until after 8 last night telling me that she hasn't been anywhere because she's getting sick.
(BTW, I just got Bill Cosby's voice in my head saying, "Right!" Y'know, the skit about Noah and God?)
Ugh, I've been on Dayquil/Nyquil and throat drops for 2 weeks now and I've still gone to class and work and have worked around the house! I'm sure my DH would have dropped them off at her house while he ran errands. Furthermore, she is supposed to pick up on Saturday morning but doesn't call until Sunday night when I'm already in bed? Did she really think that was kosher? Really?!
As Michelle Tanner would say: "HOW RUDE!"
*deep breath*
Ok. Sorry. I just am under a lot of stress. I mean, with the economy, the new job, a friend in our group going totally psycho (and as such is no longer friends with most of us. Her choice.), and our septic system is acting up so I've been REALLY limited on water use which means that I'm getting creative in the clothing department LOL. But I truly am thinking about just telling her that I will no longer "sell" to her. I just can't depend on her and I have other (actually paying!) customers.
*sigh*
Anyone else pulling their hair out?
