"  Two hours before I was going to meet a friend for lunch, I got an email from her saying she had to reschedule. That&amp;#039;s all she said, and frankly, I&amp;#039;m mad. Is it okay to cancel a get-together via an electronic message, and on such short notice? Only if there&amp;#039;s a good reason -- such as picking up a sick child from day care or being summoned to a meeting by the company president -- and the sender is sure the news reached its destination. (Your friend could have done that by asking you to reply or by requesting an email confirmation receipt.) Even though you did receive her note, it lacked an excuse. You&amp;#039;re entitled to be upset, but what happened doesn&amp;#039;t have to ruin your friendship. An explanation and another lunch date -- perhaps her treat -- could turn things around.
