Oh and I sent him a quick e-mail about 45 minutes ago about one of the bills and who was paying it (not closing yet means I shouldn't make any major bill payoffs that would draw attention I guess).
He replied back immediately, "Please call if you can."
Then he sent back one minute later, "Can you call me"
So I went ahead and called, figured it was highly important. Guess what? The transmission went out of his $40K truck, the one that he has only had for a year! I asked what happens next, he said the dealer was bringing a tow truck and going to loan him a courtesy car.
I said, "OK, what did you need me to call you for?"
H: Well, to tell you about my truck. And that I am working on getting transportation because right now I am stuck here at work...
Me: Okay but they are sending a courtesy car, right?
H: That's what they said...I will let you know if they do.
Me: Okay then, bye
SEE, that is a crisis. That is something that needs attention. His truck. He needed to talk to me about it, even though he didn't need to talk to me. The situtation is under control. There was nothing urgent there. If anything a quick email "Hey BBJ truck dropped its tranny, I am going to have a loaner car for the weekend FYI". Even that really isn't my concern any more.
It just reminds me of what is important to him and what isn't....
Mike I know you will say I am overthinking again. I am just tired of this. I need some space.........
