Ive found it easier to never expect anything ..., ie; promptness, professionalism , quality , guarantees , etc ....,
if you go get it , then be truely gratefull you did , and when you dont you need to just say, " oh well ? , better resort to your other plan B , C , or D etc . "
- ( you do have a plan B , C , or D right ? ) ...,
I often need to remind myself of this.
Also my other rule which I like to apply here which is , " If I want it done right , then do it myself " ..., as it doesnt matter how much instructions you seem to give of your required outcome , most times people will end up doing what they want anyway , and not what you want .
..., remember , for every expert master craftsman , there will always be a thousand cowboys ...., it your guess to find out which ones which .
- on a positive note - bananas and papayas were cheap today at the market .
