I have always had a sense of wanting to have lived back in the day when a handshake  and spoken word were as good as a contract today.  Times have changed people to where I know that is no longer a realistic expectation in general.  It is an expectation though that I look for in friendship and business relationships.
 
Today was a day when a business associate violated that expectation.  Not only did they call and insinuate I did not know what I was talking about but insisted I double check my work and get back with them.  I did.  Then a colleague received a call from this person wanting my colleague to call and report what they had seen me do.  That was how the day started and it kept me on tilt all day.  The whole incident was over the location of an object that would be late if not completed today.  My work was exactly right and my colleague made their call to report on me.  Not one word from the business associate.  I was hoping for an apology.
