I never would have agreed to that in the first place. You could have simply answered the phone or the text. So, by ignoring, you got a citation. IMO deserved.

I think proving weather is still possible after the fact even without a self-taken picture.@LuvsTraveling wrote:
Always put your negotiations in writing. That way you would have a record of possibly performing the shop, WEATHER PERMITTING. I would have also emailed the scheduler a screen shot of the weather situation. With just he said/she said, there is not much you can do.

Texting/calling before 8 a.m. is unprofessional.
Although a text doesn't really "bother" people much (vs. a loud phone call), I've never gotten a business related one before 8 AM. I know many lawyers and medical workers are frequently are on-call 24/7. For them, it's normal to get both texts and calls at odd hours.@SoCalMama wrote:

That's not "a thing". You can text at any hour. You must be over 50?

No, I am not over 50. I just know about manners and professional etiquette.

I'm over 50. I set my phone NOT to accept ANY calls/texts EXCEPT for a few family/close friends on a special "override" list, between the hours of midnight and 8:30 am. That way I'm never bothered. And if I DO get a text/call from one of those on my special "override" list between midnight-8:30 am, I know it's important. It wasn't too complicated to set up. It's an easy fix. I definitely would NOT like getting a text message or phone call at 5:30 in the morning from an MSC or some other caller/texter! But this way, if I do, I'm still sound asleep and not disturbed by it, because I never hear it!@SoCalMama wrote:

For example, several months back, my son got through on the "override" list at 5:00 am to tell me that there was a tornado warning in my area. Important info. Glad he was able to get through. Hubby & I monitored it closely. So it was good he could get through. But others not on my list can't get through. It's an easy fix.
