Professionalism

What's on my mind is a little sticky icky subject called...responding to emails, responding to numerous messages/texts/chats/, writing back, calling to confirm, calling to cancel 1 week in advance, letting me know you are on your way, letting me know you are going to be late, calling me to tell me the bad news, emailing me back to let me know you'd like to work with me or not and/or otherwise known as being professional.

This is one major pet peeve I have. I can say that many relationships both personal and business wise have been severed (on my part) due to this one factor...And that is unprofessional people. It causes me to think differently about you. And I don't like that feeling. It causes me to lose trust in you. It makes me angry. And it's annoying.

As harsh as this may sound, it's really not that easy for me to end things with people. I will try many times and ask very politely or even wait for you to get back to me because you are so "busy"...But enough is enough.

I'd like to think I'm a humble person who doesn't try to be anyone but who God made me to be. And being open and honest is something I strive to do. But once someone shows me that they do not value me or my time then I really have no use to for that individual. So I move on and continue with my life.

This is directed at no one and at the same time to everyone...but as much as I expect from people, I promise that if you ever work with me or get to know me, you will know how passionate and serious I am about my work and my time. So please I ask nicely, don't waste it. Have common courtesy and be professional.

And thank you to the people who are good to me ;-) Of course I am not talking about you. Or maybe I am :-O
