What time is it?
I just love the way that when going to an appointment you are required to be on time or else they insist on rescheduling. However, you may have to sit there for 5 minutes to an hour before you are seen! Or how companies schedule a home visit, such as to install cable between 8 AM and 5 PM and you are supposed to be home during that time frame in case they pop in, and then they don’t even show up only to call you and let you know they won’t get to you until tomorrow, so yet another day is wasted.
How do we get it through the heads of these people that we have a life too? And that our schedule is just as important as theirs?
Our time is a valued commodity. Can we charge them for the time we’ve lost waiting for them? Or get discounts on services they still need to render? I think this would be an ideal option for us to have! What is your opinion?

Aaah, yes, the all consuming question as to whether us peons of society should dare to believe that our time is just as valuable as those to whom we will pay such a tremendous portion of our hourly wage just for the privilege of being able to ask them a question to which they will usually promptly answer with another question. But, my opinion on this subject is that even though my time may not be worth as much per hour in the $$ and cents catagory but in the respect catagory it is of equal importance. I must deal with the same amount of hours in the day as the person with the degree on the wall. More often than not the things I must do during the day is as important to my family as his/her’s is to his/her family. I don’t think we should ever measure anyone’s worth by the money in their bank account or the degree on their wall.
