Were You Communicating Via Carrier Pigeon?!

On May 5th, I sent the following message to a client.

Me: “I can begin on the project immediately. Based on the scope of the work to be done, I need until the 30th to complete everything.”

Client: “Let me check with my boss to make sure that timeline works for us.”

I didn’t hear from the client again until May 22nd, when I received the following message.

Client: “Great news! You can have until the 30th!”
