a little glass of WHINE!

Why did I know I'd find myself back in here tonight? *sigh*

In general, I love my clients. I really do. But once in a while, they make me absolutely bug-nuts:

1. I have a policy of not answering my business phone (or personal one, for that matter) when there is a client in my chair. Clients can leave me a message and I will call them back when I have a break. Dialing, then re-dialing, then re-dialing my phone 15 fucking times in a row in a 15-minute period and letting it riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing incessantly in an effort to make me leave my client and pick it up faster will NOT make me pick it up any faster.

2. Asking me to make an exception and schedule you for an appointment on a day when I am already booked for 10 hours solid and then am leaving immediately afterward to drive two hours to a hair show--and you know this--is not cool.

3. Getting huffy and getting an attitude when I will not book an appointment for you on my day off because you don't want to wait four weeks for an appointment also does not a happy stylist make.

Don't get me wrong, I am blessed to be so busy...especially in this economy. But really? Seriously?
