I need to nip something that is slowly but surely getting away from me.
The weekends are for me and my family. Mon - Fri I am more than able to spend time on the phone but I need to have my weekends for family time.
I receive calls as early as 6:00 am and as late as 11:00 pm from contractors. I need to set a precedence that this doesn't get out of hand. I love the industry and love speaking with contractors BUT I have a wife of 17 years and a 13 year old daughter that warrant my time also. Thank you for understanding!
I average over 10 calls a day and countless emails and PM's about "stuff" relating to the industry and the UAMCC Assoc.
Folks...please give me the courtesy for the family. I put them through alot over the last 14 months and it is only fair that I be able to spend quality time with them.
So if you call me on the weekends I would hope that you would ask yourself whether or not it can wait during the week.
Appreciate it and thanks again....

Carlos,
This is ABSOLUTLEY understandable. While Eric and I haven't needed to call and chat with you yet, we will keep this in mind if we ever need to.
I hope that everyone will read this and respect your family time. Family is most important!
I also think that your wife and daughter need a pat on the back for putting up with these phone calls this long! LOL. :yes:

It's not an uncommon phenom I was having the same issues for a while.There isn't a thing in the world wrong with asking others to respect your time with family.

That is too funny Mike....
The bad thing about the time difference (West/East) is that the gentleman that called that night just needed his password because he forgot it!!!:redcard:
