Don't know about you...but MY time is precious!

Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ~William Penn

There's very few things I despise more than to have my time misused or wasted. Time is something you can't get back. So trust that if I am giving you some of MY time, it says alot. Anytime someone is willing to give up or to give you something that cannot be replaced it shouldn't be taken lightly. It's like being handed over a family heirloom or a personalized item. It can never be recreated. When it's gone, it's gone. So why must people who are given time not appreciate it and treat it as something that can not be given back?!?! If you say you are going to do something, DO IT! If plans change and you can not follow through....then LET SOMEBODY KNOW! I can't stand waiting on anybody as is...but to be waiting on something that isn't going to transpire at all...when all the while the other party knew they were not going through with the original plan. I personally don't get it and I never will. What kills me even more is that people I deal with KNOW how I value my time. Being on time is LATE to me. I like being early to everything, so to be late or to just not do something at all with my time that was prearranged is grounds for friendship dismissal or at least a good cursing out. Maybe "you" don't value your time and you don't care when people cancel plans on you without notice...however, I do. A little consideration goes a long way. All the while you lollygagging and/or not doing what you said you were doing, I'm left wondering IF things are still going down....missing out on OTHER opportunities or the chance to find your replacement. I know that some people just like to beat their gums...and like to say that they are going to do things even knowing when they say it that they aren't trying to do a daggone thing. Usually you can already say....I'm not even counting on that to happen. It's the wishy washy people for which I speak of. When it's something to benefit them in someway...they THERE. When it's not......you never know what to expect. And I shouldn't have to contact YOU at the time of meetup/leaving/whatever to see what the status is to be given some bogus information. Information that says to be....you've known ALL day or at least for hours that this was the case. Why did you not say something before now? Or you miraculously remember you already had plans....REALLY!?!?!? How did you forget your sister's bday party??? REALLY? Something of that importance you just HAPPENED to forget was the day you made plans with me. Alrighty then......
