- When I'm told I will get a call on Monday to finalize things and go over the details; amazingly, I expect that to happen.
- When I am told that I will get a call later in the day; my crazy self actually believes that's what will happen
- When after the third time I've been told I will get a call and I don't; I'm actually irritated by that.
Can you believe me? I mean, why would I believe or expect any of that?
Hmmmm. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when I say I'm going to do something, I do it. And if for some reason I'm not able to fulfill my promise, I let the person that I promised, know that I need more time or something came up. I don't just leave them hanging....wondering....worrying.
I realize I have a full two and half weeks before I'm supposed to be leaving (is that a long time?) but I would like to get things done ahead of time instead of waiting until the last minute. At this point, I have no travel arrangements, no forwarding address, no housing arranged, oh and in a week and a half....no job!

Whoa, You need to slow down. Take a few deep breaths. Make yourself a tropical drink and get into the island mode. Once you arrive you will see the island mode.
You've come this far the rest will happen on island time.
Good advice.
I expect island time on the island but I haven't gotten there yet!
Having gone through this several time myself: chill out first! Then don't expect others to serve you, rather serve them and make their job - ie what you want them to do - easy. Ask them what they need to get it done. It worked for me well. - Of course my opinion of 'em is shot. I rather work with ppl like you, functional folks.
That's good advice too.
I think I can apply that!
Thank you.
