Awesome spot on post. Il come back and read it often. Haven’t figured out how to share yet..

11. Should be “Save your Drama for your Mama”

I’ve learned it the hard way “my mom died so I went to drink it off and I lost my trailer in a poker game and after I came out of the poker game I had a flat tire and so you can see why your thing isn’t done” isn’t ever met well. They don’t care. An EMP could take out your project and they still don’t care.

A concise “I messed up, it’ll be done Monday morning” is met graciously. You’d think a simple admission of guilt would make you look worse, but the opposite is true.

Yes. They already know you messed up. They need to know when they're going to get their stuff and that you understand you feel what's important to them and are working to make it happen for them and make it right.

Telling them how hard it's been for you makes it about you not about them. It's about them, not about you.
