Got a text from Sarah as an apology today. Maybe I’ll try again after the holidays!

As somebody who's been doing this a while, I just want my time respected, just like she would want me to respect her time. Obviously things happen, but it only takes one second to text somebody that you can't make it any longer. That goes for both sides of the coin here.
I don't live anywhere near Albany, so I drive a considerable distance to get here for an appointment. More than once I have been stood up at the very last minute by some of Albany's best after I drove approximately 60 miles to get here, sat in the parking lot for an hour after the appointment, and never hear anyting. So I definitely hear your frustration. But it definitely happens to them, and it definitely happens to us. Just the way it is.
