Housecall

I haven't updated in a bit...
I decided to start doing housecalls (outcalls to some people but that sounds so Escort Service to me).

My first housecall was a flake. She really seemed like she needed it really bad. She emailed me about it, and booked the appointment, even confirmed it. I went all the way to her home for her to tell me she left me a message that same morning that she didn't need me that day (and she dialed the WRONG number, because when I checked there were no messages by her). I smiled and walked away like a dork.

So, I called her and asked her if she wanted to rebook for last Wednesday and she said, "Yes. That's perfect." I got all ready. I put whatever might be more priority than $60 for an hour and lugging my stuff to the car, on the back burner. And she called.

"I'm sorry, I don't need you today. I'll just call you when I need you." You know, screw that. I'm doing this as a favor to those who don't like to leave their home. I'm taking my days off from my busy schedule, when I should be spending it with my children, to work with people who NEED massage therapy.

And my first client flaked on me twice. Two flakes and you're out. Sorry. I don't like telling my kids I can't take them to the beach or out to dinner because I have to work, and then get dissed.
