Confirmation please...

We got an email late on Friday asking us to put a lightbox display in on Monday... No real big deal, as we have the box, and graphic already... I shot one back asking when and where and that should have been it... Reply came back with 8am, and the spot in question...
So I went home, planning on throwing everything in the truck early Monday, and dropping it off... I had one of my employees over Sunday for a barbeque, and he told me the job wasn't confirmed yet... (funny I thought I was the owner of the company and I'd hear about something like that...) So I called my partner to find that the producer had called him, and changed the time to 2pm, and the dock was reserved, etc...
This unit is too big for the dock...
Phone calls ensue.
Make it 3pm at the back entrance.
The unit only will go through the front door.
Make it 11am at the front...
Ok...
Wait make it 5:30pm...
Ok...
3...
4:45...

This continued through Monday with them moving the time around, until it was finally 5pm at the front....

When are we taking this down I ask...
We don't know...
Fine, I'm thinking it'll be there for some time...
At noon Tuesday, they call to remove it at 2pm... Can we take it out the back?...
No...
Ok, them why don't you take it out the front...
That's a novel idea... We'll take it out the front...

We didn't make nearly enough money on this job to pay for the phone bill it created I imagine...
