No-Plan-Survives-Initial-Contact Dept.

[alexpgp]

The single major problem with crafting an elaborate plan to juggle turning services on, turning others off, keeping medical appointments, picking up merchandise, packing our stuff, moving from the condo to the house, and meeting at least three translation deadlines over the next few days is the truth encapsulated in the well-worn observation:

No plan survives initial contact with the enemy.

The "enemy" in this case is our tenant, who informed our management company today that they will not be able to clear out of the house by tomorrow, and will require two additional days.

I've managed to reconfigure the schedule, I think, but at a cost in nervous energy.

Pressing on... (with ~2900 target words sent and ~800 source words to go!)

I hope they're being billed a hefty per diem rate.
