Stories from behind the scenes of one of the craziest professions other than yours.

WHY I MISSED YOUR MEETING

We meet with clients all the time. There used to be a lot of in-office meetings, but now most of our meetings are online via Zoom or Google Meet.

Of course, we understand that our clients are very busy and not every meeting that’s set can be kept. Yet, when clients have to miss or reschedule a meeting, they usually feel the need to explain why.

Usually, it’s due to other meetings, like the project manager who had to cancel in order to meet with management, only to find out she was being terminated. However, sometimes missing a meeting is just an accident.

After all, DAMN GOOD itself has had to cancel meetings because cars have run into our building.

But we’ve actually had several clients ask us to notify them right before we’re supposed to meet, like some sort of hotel wake-up call (we don’t do this, BTW).

However, the BEST excuse we ever got for missing a meeting was when a client emailed in to tell us that their neighbor was just murdered and they were dealing with the police. True story – we couldn’t make this $#@t up!!!

What’s the most interesting excuse you’ve ever heard for missing a meeting?
