BeaverJoke, so you' re saying that if a guy is a hard worker, he should be allowed to make some mistakes occasionally at the expense of the clients? Hmmm, I should have tried that statement with the bank a few times over the years when work was so slow that you couldn' t BUY a job. " What do you mean you' re going to repossess my truck? I know I' m late with some payments, but I' m a hard worker!" I had my own business for awhile, many moons ago. If I scheduled a service call on a certain date and I didn' t make it, do you think those folks forgave me because I was a hard worker? YEAH, RIGHT! In your fantasy world, any man who claims to have a huge set should be forgiven all his sins. In the real world, if you make a promise, and it involves receiving payment, you better be able to make good. Like my daddy used to say, " If you can' t $hit, get off the pot!"
