[BC] Poor choices

[DANA PUOPOLO]

Been there, done that!

I once had a (very short term) clent who was looking for a new site for his FM
 C.P.  This guy would call about twice a day and say: Check this site...check
this site...ad nauseum. 

Anyway, I had to go out of town for the day (I did have some regular clients
after all) and told him that I wouldn't be around, but would be checking my
messages every couple of hours (this was before cell phones became cheap).

When I got to my client's, (a 90 minute trip) I checked my messages, sure
enough there were four from this guy spaced about 15 minutes apart. The last
one said: "Dana, I'm going to have to disassociate myself from you. You just
can't give me the kind of attention I need".  

I guess he expected me to be sitting by my phone, waiting for his calls so I
could immediately run another spacing study for him!

The killer is that I had given him a topographic map with the area to locate
clearly marked on it....so he knew what fit and what didn't already!

He did pay his bill though...
