And, if ya know me...that's saying ALOT.
Involves my irreplaceable assistant and an "acquaintance" of mine. Acquaintance worth something that rhymes w/ "a million"...no poop.
Acquaintance wants mid-day dog walk/40 minutes for 6 out of 12 days they are in "The Islands"...and knows better than to ask me...as I have no time...so goes thru me w/ emails...and asks if my wonderful Assistant wants to make extra $ doing it.
No prob w/ me...so we line it up and agree on $40.00.
As hiring a "licensed/bonded" dog walker in our area is average $35.00 a VISIT, and acquaintance's domicile is actually located above acquaintance's shop full of valuable stuff..I am (quite stupidly) assuming she meant 40 a trip.
Acquaintance says "I'll leave $ in envelope"...still sounding good. Until my wonderful Assistant returned today (the first day of the dog care) with an envelope containing 2 twenty dollar bills. $40.00. As agreed...now that I think about it...grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I am so very angry at acquaintance.
Trying to find some humor in this...but am failing myself.
I realize this is completely my fault...but if it were you...and you found yourself (stoopidly) in this position...would you do/say anything to acquaintance...or just harbor the resentment until one day your brain explodes?
I did tear a teeny-tiny, microscopic, corner off of a napkin, and write in the smallest of teeny letters possible "thank-you"...and told my wonderful Assistant to tape it on my acquaintances fridge.
