Well…. Are you a flake? I mean be honest. I have never sat around and though, “Wow, what a flake” unless I had good reason. Am I really that off base? I mean do you go home at night and theorize about Kurt Vonnegut and Schrödinger’s Cat while you get everything done you need to get done. Or do you instead get home and look at the VCR (which you sill own because you haven’t gotten around to upgrading) blinking 12:00 instead of getting the things done that you know you need to do but just never get around to.

Say we both live in Antarctica and I will be getting kicked outside of a building that closes down at 4pm. Can I depend on you to know that at 3:55 you will be outside waiting for me to come out? Or will you show up at 4:23 when I am half frozen to death and had to call you.

Don’t get me wrong. If it weren’t for the last minute I would get nothing done at all, so I am not saying I am above a little flakery now and then but there comes a point when you do it so often that it becomes a problem. At that point somebody should tell it to you straight, so that you can do something about it!
