No, we had already prearranged to meet at 10:00 am, then next day got changed to 11:00am. Then on the day of leaving, 12:00 pm with a need to drop stuff off to her sister. Yea, she had generously offered to drive me up to the mountains.
She is single, child-free and last few years works at home on flex schedule. Therefore has a tendency to be slack about timelines, etc. It drives her sister (the person that I'm close friends with) nuts. In fact, her sister ranted on how frustrating her siblings were (all in their 50's) about their unreliability of meet-up times to do stuff. Considering the fact, that she only sees them once a year when she visits from another province.
I come a very different family: my siblings do tend to be on time when we meet up to do stuff..it's because more, we don't see each other often! So time is precious to us. That includes siblings who live in the same city...only every few months.
However things worked out well later. But I'm never going to leave an open-ended vacation day like that with this particular woman, in terms of scheduling.
