Seriously.. how is that any different from my type of work? I have employees that call in sick, drag butt, car breaks down.. I'm exposed to UPS dropping off the package to the wrong address, I have "emergencies" that pop up all the time.. yet I seem to get the job done a lot closer to the promise date than the racing industry does..

I'm not trying to be a troll here, everyone has set backs at work, everyone is understaff'd, everyone can cry baby tears why their industry is so much harder than the next.. But my point is this.. I can totally understand being backed up and missing a promise date by a couple days.. or a week even.. but that should be the exception and not the normal..
