Yeah, thank you for the check-in.
Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding. But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South. I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.
She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text. Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.
I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here. She heard "payment", "money" and "help out". It was crazy. I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.
Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.
But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
