It hadn’t been a good day. I’d been yanked out the door at 6:30 a.m.for a dude ranch call and was almost there, an hour drive, when they called back and said I didn’t need to come after all. And it was too late to run home and get my travel mug of tea and some snacks for the road, so I was stuck starting my regular calls without breakfast or lunch. I still had not figured out how to charge for a call that dead-ended, so I knew I’d be eating the cost. Again.
