Frustrated

I remember when I was sailing on a boat in 2005 the owner of the boat would continually grumble about people in the boating industry, citing them all as being incredibly unreliable. I didn't really think much about it at the time.... Anyway I'm someone that sits in front of a computer during my working day, as are most of the people that I work with, which means you usually get an answer in hours or minutes. During the negotiations with the broker and particularly with our surveyor I find that emails are checked every few days. This is making progress very frustrating. For example - I know from the broker that the surveyor visited the boat last Friday... No phone call, email or any communication from him. /Sigh
