People often say they want this or that.
But they're seemingly unwilling to do the work to make it happen.
“I want to go to the gym with you.”
Okay, let's go every weeknight at 8:45. “Deal.”
It's now 9:30 and the kid comes up and asks, “Are we going to the gym?”
NOPE. It closes at 10. It takes 15 minutes, at least, to get there.
We can go tomorrow. What will make us miss tomorrow's journey to the gym?
Same kid is getting a car, for free. Long story. But suffice it to say, he's happy about it. He didn't like driving my old car around because it wasn't his.
We have to fly a pretty good distance to pick it up and drive it back. I ask, “Can you call Jerry up and see if he's available on X date?”
“Yes, I'll call him.”
When? I haven't heard back. By the time he gets around to it, airfare will have doubled.
I'm tired of this.
And that's just one person… What do you do when multiple people let you down? I'm kind of at my wits' end.
Open to suggestions.
