In which I explain how I avoid conflict�

Today I had to drop some rather unpleasant news on a client. I did this in 4 easy steps:

  1. I called the client�s office.

  2. I asked the secretary to connect me with the client�s voice mail.

  3. I left a detailed-but-not-so-long-winded-that-I�d-get-cut-off-and-have-to-call-back-thus-risking-having-to-talk-with-the-client message containing the unpleasant news.

  4. I promptly left the office to go to lunch.

�Cause, apparently, that�s how I roll.

Although, technically, I�m not even sure if you can �roll� without a spine.
