As things have worked out, I have another contract to finish until September anyway. Hope to shift the interview until the fall. So far so good. This dispute, on both sides reminds of me of a song...
A song that a ski guide friend of mine sings to his extremely wealthy clients, it goes something like this:
ME, ME
ME, ME, ME, ME, ME
ME, ME, ME, ME, ME
(pause for effect)
ME, ME
ME, ME, ME
ME, ME, ME
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Pick an appropriate tune, and it fits. I include myself in this of course.
