No Shows suck

[cheatnfun]

Time is money as they say, and in this world, when either a provider or hobbyist are unaccountable and do not keep scheduled appointments it is a problem. I was in town for business and had taken time to schedule a date with a provider. When I travel I have very long days and the little down time I have in my schedule is usually spent surrounded by the rest of the team. After several PMs and texts, I had an agreed to time and place with BrooklynnSunShine. About an hour before the date I had texted to say I may have to cut it a little shorter than originally discussed and asked if that still worked for her. No response. A little more than 30 minutes after our scheduled meeting time I sent another text that was simply question marks as I had no idea what was going (or not going) on. Still no response. I went back to work and later that evening sent a text stating that I was very disappointed with the missed appointment and that on my next trip to SA I will schedule with someone else. I received a text about 10 am the next morning with a simple "sorry". I am sure she is a fine provider (she had excellent reviews, that is why I scheduled with her) but the lack of accountability left me with no options on short notice. She may have excellent rationale for not showing up and she is welcome to share what extenuating circumstances justified her absence, but I am not looking for an explanation or an argument over any of it. It just sucked for me.

They do indeed. We've all had them.
An idea for future business trips: pad an extra day for vacation to allow the occasional schedule problem. An extra day may not be easy or possible, but it may allow a Plan B.

So you changed the "rules of engagement," asked if she agreed, and got your answer.

What's the problem again?

I asked if changing the duration and removing some activities from the agenda were okay with her. An "answer" would have resulted in discussions that indicated the price would be the same since that is what I had been agreeing to originally. A no-show isn't an answer. Again, not looking to argue so you are welcome to whatever your opinion might be.

But if you hadn't gotten an agreement on your new offer of appointment terms, then how can it be a no show?

(This reminds me of the great Beaumont Isn't Houston Debate -- if only that lovely lady was around to explain the point in her entirely original way.)

If it wasn't a no-show, why did she send an "I'm sorry" text for the missed date the next day? Just sayin'...

I got NCNS'd by one of the semi popular latina ladies on the on the board....talked me all the way to her apartment complex and then crickets....for no reason a complete waste of my time ..over an hour...normally I bill my time at $330 hr...she may have noticed that I put a no recommendation down for one of her friends who was a half ass who could not manage to pay her power bill and got the power and water turned off in August ...

I know sometimes we have schedule conflict. I had that last night. We thought we be in San Antonio 8pm well it became midnight then hotels were booked so it was aweful. I has scheduled an 11 he moved to 12 but then the hotel thing. We were in constant communication and even then it didnt happen. I promised a make up time at a supper discount because it was my fault. But at least i know i tried and if on our return my discount will stand if he tries to schedule. But in the other hand i had 2 no shows and EVa 3. They texted us to the point we were going to send incall location then nothing... Eva were all p411 members who went crikets on her. Just a simple pm hey i cant make it would be fine. Least we made up the apointments but i wish guys would communicate better. But we still love San Antonio...Already planning our return...
