Invoking the 3-week Rule

From I guy I've been trying to meet up for drinks with since November:

Hey Anjelika

Couple of things, first my big pitch meeting is tomorrow so will have to cancel tonight - very sorry for late notice and I will make it up to you with wine a plenty :-)

Secondly, do you get to vote in these election things that are happening in the states?

Speak soon

My cool-as-a-cucumber reply:

Hey don't worry about it. Let's put it off indefinitely. I have a 3-week rule when it comes to making plans. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it shouldn't really take that long to meet up.

I haven't applied for an absentee ballot. Maybe I will for the presidential election, but either candidate is fine with me.

Funnily enough, I never heard back from him. In a way it's a shame, because I did want to have drinks for him, but if it were at all a priority for him, he would have made it happen. I'm not gonna cry over split milk. I'm just gonna move on.

I like having minimum standards. I like, even better, that I can stick with them.
