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?

Awww...you're so sweet...and those stinkin' donuts...well that's just wrong!

Mrs. Strutt...maybe you should have a "oops isn't that the color you wanted?" policy with those demanding clients...

In the meantime....

Sooooo....evidently one of the dogs had an "upset stomach" last night...and I got to clean up after it this morning...twice.

Then, heading upstairs to work after cleaning up said dog mess, stepped (barefoot, thank you) into a gigantic nasty cat hairball.

Shrugged it off, cleaned all morning to make the house perfect for the "great prospect" who was coming to look at it....

Yea well....she didn't show up...changed her mind cuz a friend of a friend of a a friend of a what-the-heck-ever had a hard time selling a house on this street and she doesn't want to get locked in.

Course, the realtor called me about that this afternoon AFTER I got all the cleaning done

Looks like I own another rental property

Yep...moral of the story: NEVER piss off the woman who does your color lest you wish to glow eerie shades of green in the sunlight

I'm sorry the showing fell through...that truly sucks. Almost as much as stepping into the hairball
