Whatever happened to common courtesy?
Okay, I understand, the photographer backed out. It's Halloween, probably a busy time for him, certainly a busy time for you...but it's also a busy time for me. Sending me a Facebook message to tell me about the cancellation was a nice token gesture...but considering that I told you--repeatedly--that I don't have Facebook on my phone and if you needed to get in touch with me during the day, you should call or text me, I really feel like you don't value my time much at all.
Yes, I did end up getting a lot more done at work because I didn't have to leave in the middle of the afternoon to do two hours of makeup...but I'd pretty much built my entire day's schedule--and, to some extent, my entire weekend, as well--around that appointment, and spending four hours waiting for some call or text or anything at all from you to inform me that you were home from work and ready...or that we weren't doing this thing today, after all...did NOT do good things for my mood. Going to dinner and my friend's party brightened things up a lot, but coming back to my laptop after all of that was over and finding a seventeen-hour-old message in the same discussion thread where I sent you my phone number with a 'call/text me during the day, I can't access FB when I'm at work' explanation (only a few messages above the cancellation!) really kind put the edge back on the annoyance.
