What is that saying, 'lack of planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part' or something.

My friends know that they only call me if their house is actively on fire, they are being robbed at gunpoint, or they just won the lottery and want to split the winnings. Family also includes lunch/dinner plans. Only exception is when we have planned a call for a date and time, otherwise you're greeting my voicemail. Landlines is the exact same situation. I might be taking a shower, asleep, taking a dump, getting freaky with a friend; it doesn't matter. Leave a text message and I'll get back as soon as I'm done crying from taco tuesday, or finishing waking up the neighbors with moans and screams, or whatever else.

Email is 'sometime today' communication, and gets handled at the beginning or end of the day, or whenever I'm on the can. Anyone expecting a rapid response via email is a proper dunce.

These emergencies come up because the planners (the people I'm trying to urgently reach) haven't planned properly. Everything is fine if the situation on the ground is the same as they think in the city office or the consulting firm, but once something unexpected comes up that hasn't been accounted for, I need to reach certain people, quick. We could make decisions on our own but the that's often specifically not allowed without consulting those certain people...

So plan better or be around to pick up the phone.
