apparently, ASAP doesn't mean what I thought it did
I don't understand people who make a huge deal about wanting something, like yesterday, but then when you set things in motion to make that happen, they could not care less. "You want this contract ready to sign ASAP? Okay, no problem - here you go. All you have to do is read over it and, if it's okay with you, sign at the bottom. If it's not, make the necessary changes, and we'll go from there. What do you mean you'll look at it if you 'get around to it'? I thought you really, really wanted this done so you could close this project out and go on to the next contract. What gives?" Maybe it's just me, but if I claim to want/need something, but there's serious procrastination, it's because I'm not 100% sure that's what I want, so I drag my feet and hope that something happens to make my decision for me. Not so when I really, really want something. If that's the case then I'm relentless until I get what it is I'm set on. I understand that everyone is different; I just find it hard to believe that someone would make such a big deal over wanting something when they really don't. Craziness. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some work to do on a contract. ASAP.
