Keeping appointments

Had three appointments today... all of which we right on time... except for the last one... it was a wedding appointment... the couple is getting married on September 6th... we were scheduled to meet at 5:30pm at the church... I was there at 5:00pm because that is who I am... early and organized... the couple didn't show up till 5:45pm with no apology offered. I honestly find this to be an issue...

As I look to my slavery timing is key to who I am... when I am given a project it is completed on time if not a bit early... why? pride in my work and pride in the person I serve... I know everyone isn't the same... but when appointments are made... should they not be honored? or if it can't be kept should there not be an explanation?

What if, as a business man I make an appointment with a client and don't keep it? Do you think the client will keep me as a printer? Not in Maine there are plenty of us to go around... you could say a dime-a-dozen...

Tomorrow will be a busy day... I have a tile floor to lay and a lawn to clean up from the vacation fiasco and cukes to pickle... I should be wiped after that... but it will get done completely and on time!
