[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's fine for you to send a text at 7:45pm on a Friday evening and also think it's fine for her to wait to respond until working hours Monday morning. She's not even doing that to you - she's saying she'll send you the revised contract Saturday morning. Get over yourself. 40 hours of work is very small beans.[/quote]

I agree with everything you said above but I found the “I ask that you please respect my family time over the weekend” unnecessarily chastising- like in what way is she expecting me to invade her space this weekend? [/quote]

This. She didn't need to say that unless OP demanded a response that weekend. That said, if I email or text a professional on a Friday evening or weekend, I make it clear I don't expect them to see it or respond until the work week. Sometimes the only time I have to respond is when they aren't working.

Also, for that much money an hour I do expect stellar service and good communication. I don't expect to hear from them on weekends, but if I am signing a contract, I want to know you are on the ball and not flaky. OP< I would move on.  [/quote]

The notion that you are texting a professional on a Friday evening or weekend denotes that you are not interacting with them in a professional manner.

The very nature of a text is to interrupt the recipient.

If you were relating in a professional manner you would be respectful and send a time delayed email.

You sound like an entitled pita.[/quote]

The professional needs to be more flexible. She doesn’t work a traditional 9-5. [/quote]

How do you know what hours any professional works? Seriously? Professionals work whatever hours they say they do. [/quote]
