I'm pulling my hair out this week. Trying to get ready to move, which, as you know, is utterly chaotic. Painters coming and going, carpet cleaners not showing up, my Realtor wants this and that from me... then the CHECK ENGINE light goes on in my car and my renters decide to go MIA (with no rent payment in sight).
Sheesh. But I'm still smiling.
Here's the problem. I am a full time writer (for another week anyway) and I work from home. Whenever anyone tries to schedule something with me, the first words out of my mouth are "Sure, whatever works for you, just let me know!" Baaaaad answer. Is it true? Sure - I'm almost always around. But I get NO RESPECT!
Yesterday, my painter told me he'd be by around noon to finish sanding a drywall repair. So, I scheduled my rather hectic day around being home at noon. Lunchtime comes and goes ... and no painter. Waiting waiting waiting... at 5:30 he calls and says he'll be by at 9:00 am today. I still have tons of errands to run that didn't get done yesterday (while I waited). It's almost 9:00 now...we shall see...
This happens to me all the time. I get frustrated and curse the world for being imperfect. But maybe... it's all my fault. After all, I freely give the impression that my time isn't already spoken for which implies that it's not valuable.
So, from here on out, I am BUSY! I have this time and this time available; which one works for you? I think this will be life-changing...
