Jumpped by reality...

Well due to a client calling and asking if I can move up a load in to tommorow this morning, Color Theory Part 2 is on hold untill the weekend at the earliest, next Thursday at the latest...


This is the same guy that called about the ellipse deck mind you... Glad I finished that up early...


Him... Hi, its So and So, do you have a minute?


Me... Sure, what can I do for ya


Him... Do you suppose you could put that deck in earlier than we talked about?


Me... That shouldn't be a problem... How much sooner?


Him... Tommorow morning.


Me... Tommorow?... As in 24 hours from right now?...


Him... Yep... Would that cause you a problem?


Me... Well you're talking about moving this up almost 36 hours... We're not packed, we've got other projects that will have to get pushed around... I'll have to call you back in an hour or so to see if we can do that...


Him... Ok... I'll be here all day...


An hour or so later after I actually have had my morning coffee...


Ring...Ring... Ring... Ring... Beeeeeeeep.... Thank you for calling So and So... We are out of the office today, so please leave a message... Beeeeeep...


Me... *muttering* You have got to be kidding *to the machine* Hi... Its Tim over here at Thus and Such Company... We can move the load in up to mid morning tommorow, but not first thing, give me a call to let me know that you got this, and I'll see you tommorow...


*click*


Um... ok... I was not compleatly honest with him... I could have gotten there first thing in the morning... but I didn't feel like getting up at 4am to fight traffic into and around NYC... Screw that... This guy's client must be certifiable, I swear...
