With the cost of Gasoline being what it is, I'm slowly but surely inching my way to getting my end users to bring in their machines to me, rather then me run around and blow all my gas money going out to them. Fortunately, I get re-imbursed for the gas, but only once a month, which means that when I have $20 left in the checking account, things tend to get creative for me to still make ends meet.

So naturally, when I do go out, I usually try to pack as many sites into the tour as possible. However, it's really useful for you to BE ON SITE even if I'm running late for whatever reason. I usually get there within 10-15 minutes of the time I say, and I tend to spend a good hour on site anyway, you if I'm running late, the onus is on my to get the problem fixed and get out of there quicker. And calling me five minutes after I've left on my office phone and leaving me a voice mail is unlikely to help either...

In other words:

Don't tell me a time and not be there. I get cranky when I waste gas. Also, for Dog's sake, when I leave your site a message to schedule, call me back and schedule! Don't whine about how it takes three weeks for me to get out there when I've spent the past two weeks trying to get a hold of someone to get out there!

Also, this is a friendly reminder that September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Edit: My bad on the date.
