Although this is meant for one person, I’m putting this bit of wisdom out there, so everyone can learn from one person’s mistakes:

If you are hired to do a job, do not send an email asking for a week’s delay because you have to make an emergency trip to your sister in another country, and then spend that same week posting on your personal blog about shows you’re watching on American cable tv.

“Bob”, I don’t know if you read my blog, but I just visited yours and it looks like you’re relaxing and having a grand time. Well, the good news is that I don’t plan on taking up any more of your time, so looks like you’re going to have PLENTY of time to watch even more tv because you sure won’t be working for me anymore. You probably thought you were invaluable because your pay kept getting bumped up. Yes, you did a good job, but you’re also easy to replace. Good luck in your future endeavors, “Bob”, but don’t count on me for a positive reference on your work ethics.
