Yeah....
I think maybe I'm angry with him for being so very bad in a crisis. He kind of admits that, so I'm not being mean to him.
He got some water in his house, but not more than most people I know. A foot or so. Then he made some bad decisions and caused himself more stress. And he broke the cardinal Katrina rule. That no matter what happened to you or your home, that unless you're relating your own death you follow up with a disclaimer of how lucky you are.
Shortly after the storm, he was telling me how various people had done, and gave grades. This person had only minor wind damage, so they got an A- in the storm. And he gave himself and his family an F. And I didn't know what to say to him, because that didn't leave a lot of room for those people who got ten feet of water in their homes or who lost loved ones.
I think I unrealistically expected him to be at least as good in a crisis as I am, since I'm the client. And he's supposed to have at least some of the answers, right?
So maybe I get impatient with him instead of cutting him enough slack...
