yesterday i had an appointment with my client to upload my web.since the appointment was in 3 pm so i told my partner earlier to be prepared (i told her in the morning).
so in that 3 pm we been there to show how the the upload process was done.after sometimes while we were doing the work she claimed to us that she forgot to bring the laptop charger.i was so shocked with this situation.how come she could forget the most important thing??? ( i did tell her about the appointment from morning so both of us could prepare very well in front of the client and no one could do any silly mistakes).and of course i was totally embarass to my client.
so by hook or by crook we had to go back to get the charger.we had to take like 30 MINUTES TO GO BACK(it's preety far to get back).
when i was on the way to get back,she asked me to stop when i was in her house area,she asked me to stop because she wanted to call her roomate. i was so curious why she had to.but i just let it be, when i be there i did stop as she said, and the BEST PART, she told he she LEFT HER ROOM'S KEY in the client's office!!!could you guys imagine that??we had to take for 30 minutes to get back and she just claimed again she FORGOT!!! I'm asking you guys this: when we want to go home for sure we will think about the key,right? am i right? i dunno what she's thinking about!she called her roomate and she was in the shopping complex. so i had to go there to get the key.after some while we got the key and could get the charger.after that we were heading at the client's office.
she did tell me again "don't you want to get back to that shopping complex to return her key?" i told her "i'll send you to the client's office and i'll go there to return it."i asked her "could you send a sms to yr roomate?" she told me that she's running out of credit.**i was riding motocycle cuz i wanted to avoid the bad traffic jam cuz we need to puntual with that client)
so after we reached at that office i gave her my cellphone telling her "i just have enough credit to make 2 sms cuz i just made i long distance call, in order to avoid a problem of the low running credit i said to her "please write to her like this "please wait for my friend in front of the mcdonald to get the key". **it's about rainy so if i confirm directly she could give the precise answer fastly: if she wish to stay at her friend's house she could say "no need that's okay, she'll wait there" if she say no,i don't have to face any big risk to be in the heavy rain.
my business partner said ok and gave the messege. after that she went to the office. i got the messege reply. her roomate just told me "i'm about to go home"
again i was so curious...why she said that. i looked out at the messege sent item. she wrote "hi where are you? my friend want to return the key" i was so headache. i told her about the running credits, how she supposed to write the messege and of of course what the reason why i asked her to write that kind of messege.
again, i did waste my time cuz i had to find some cell phone shop to buy prepaid card.after that send the sms to confirm and she didn't reply it for a long time. i thought maybe she out of credits.
i didn't have any time to wait for her reply cuz it's about to rain heavily. if i wait there for sure i'll be stucked there and her roomate couldn't be in her house.i was worried about this.so i decided to go there without waiting her reply.
the rain fall heavily and i got wet so much and when i be there i got the sms reply "it's okay,no need to return the key. i'm going to be with my friend".
i was totally mad to my business partner. how come she could all these to me!!! i was so mad till i didn't know what should i think.i just talked some few words to her.she told me she couldn't finish the process because the office closed .phew...i was so emabarass to my client and of course really wish to shout at her.
i was so headache cuz i tried to be patient hardly. i asked to myself back "am i wrong to be mad at her?" what do you guys think? am i wrong to be mad at her?could you guys share some of your comments and review here.

I would get another partner if I were you.
This is business. And you need a reliable partner to be able to survive.
And no you are not wrong in getting mad at her. But just talk to her again and tell her that you need a reliable partner and you don't want to happen again what just happened.
