3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

I hope your wife gave him both barrels before firing him.
Had an eBay customer call and wake us up at 4:30 AM. Luckily the answering machine picked up before we did (lucky for him, anyway; I'm not terribly polite early in the morning!) He was two time zones east, but still, time zones are not a new or incomprehensible thing. (Why he couldn't have e-mailed us instead, I have no idea.) And who's open at that hour anyway?! You wait until the business is likely to be open (as in, no earlier than 8 AM) before you call!I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

I once had a customer repeatedly call my cell phone to make different changes to her account. She was also trying to set up a deal with us for the local school district (she was the superintendent at the time). The final straw was when she called me at home at 8AM on a Sunday morning (also during a holiday weekend) with some really inane question. I told her, "Never call my personal cell phone again...you can call our office number if you need to get a hold of someone," and hung up on her. That was the end of that, thankfully.Comment

That's been going on for years around here. One teacher I know said each teacher in his school was given $200 to use for additional supplies (books were supplied by the school system). That $200 was supposed to last for the entire school year. Most teachers ended up digging into their own pockets for extra stuff. He's retired now but this was standard practice every year.Quoth Pixilated View PostWhen you start at zero, everything's progress.Comment
