The indignities will continue until your head explodes

More potential client fun
Apparently the potential client tried to email me on Monday but the message was “returned as undeliverable.” Despite this, it was urgent that I call them…at 12:40 p.m. Eastern time. Apparently these people have never heard of lunch.

So after replying to some on who is on Pacific time ASAP both by email and with a voicemail message (tip of the nib to Jim for the Google voice invite), I still hadn’t heard back from them by 6 p.m. On the west coast.

Oh and did I mention they want another call to discuss how I’m going to do the work? Nor did they send the access information I need to actuall get into their systm to do the work.

Did I also mention that they didn’t even ask where they could send a signed contract?

Yeah it’s going to be like that.

Legitimate excuse to avoid conference calls
I’m not a big fan of the phone.  It’s got all the awkwardness of a cocktail party shrunk down into miniature.  Now I have an excuse to stay off it as much as possible: I can’t really open my mouth.

Yes, it’s rubber band time with the braces.  While I’m wearing the “elastics” as my dentist so lovingly refers to them, I can really only get my teeth apart just enough to wedge in a straw so I can stay hydrated.  Guess I have to do my best not to get sick again any time in the next two months otherwise I’ll sufficate on my on snot.
