Why none of my friends are divas
I got a call yesterday…
Diva: I saw your ad listed in Craigslist, is it still available?
Me: Yes, it is, would you like to come see it?
Diva: Yes, how about today?
Me: Sure, I have one guy coming at 5:30 and another one at 6. How about 5pm, will that work for you?
Diva: No.
Me: Okaaaay… what time will work best for you?
Diva: I get off at 4, so how about 4:15?
Me: I’m sorry, I don’t get home until 5.
Diva: How about tomorrow at 4:15?
Me: How about never?
Okay, I never actually said that last line, but I wanted to. What irks me is that she wasn’t willing to inconvenience herself a little. So maybe she doesn’t live nearby. Tough. Some people are driving an hour to get here, and they still ask if that will work for me. Not her. It’s all about what’s most convenient for her. Acting like a diva may work for her in some arenas, but this ain’t one of ‘em.
