[quote=Anonymous][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]

OP told her the project was going too slow, by text, on a Friday night after cutting the scope of the project in half. She expected her to respond with a new contract in 48 hours.

—team designer all the way. [/quote]

No she did not at all. This is how you read it.

If you’re going to be mediocre and not work when your clients are available, don’t get snippy as well

Finally, it would be like if real estate agents only worked 9-5 Mon-Fri; what on Earth?![/quote]

Uh, no. She said she told the designer she was “concerned things were too slow rolling.”[/quote]

Things WERE too slow. [/quote]
