Oy, what a day! Work did not go as planned...at ALL!
So, I have spotty (at best) cellular service at my house. Add to that the fact that my phone is 3 years old, and things are starting to go wrong with it. Keep that in mind as the story unfolds...
I was heavily booked for the day. When I knew it would be a long one, I did block off an hour for lunch. So, first thing when I walk out of my house, I get notifications of text and voice mail messages, in spite of having the phone beside me all morning. 2 text and 2 voice messages. The first text was from my neighbor...from last evening! My texts are often delayed as much as 24 hours. GRR!
The other 3 messages were from this morning, all from my first client of the day. She had to cancel due to a bad cold. No problem. I prefer people to cancel when they're sick, so they don't come in and spread germs all over the place. But she was down for a cut and color, with her husband booked for a haircut during the 1/2 hour processing time of her service. He still wanted to come in, which was fine. So I had a little extra time to get to work. No biggie. But, the time allotted for her finishing was now added on to my lunch hour, giving me an hour and a half to kill in the middle of my day. After I finished with him, I wasn't hungry. I tossed around ideas of how to kill 1.5 hours, and finally decided to go get a salad with grilled chicken. It was nasty. Maybe because I wasn't hungry, or maybe because it was just bad. I ate about 3 mouths full, and binned it. I asked our manicurist if she had time to give me a pedicure, but she was busy all day, too. So I did some minor housekeeping around the salon, and used up about an hour.
I was in the bathroom, when my boss shouted through the door, asking if I wanted to do a haircut. LOL! I can easily do a cut in half an hour, so I shouted back, "Sure." This is unusual, because in the nearly 6 years I've worked for this lady, she has NEVER given me a walk-in. EVER! I rent my booth, so growing my business is entirely up to me. The only reason she allowed this one was because all the commissioned employees were fully booked.
So I walk to the front of the salon, and the client in question is a woman with long, thick hair, who wants a full shampoo, cut and style. Minimum 45 minutes...and I have 30 minutes before my next appointment. I took her anyway. And it's a good thing I did, because my next appointment showed up 30 minutes late.
She had written the appointment in her calendar, but when she transferred it to her home calendar, she somehow wrote the wrong time. But, if I had taken her, it would have put me late for the one following her, so we re-booked for next week. Great, another hour to kill.
I called the lady who was next, and asked if she could come early, and hallelujah, she could! She was there is 20 minutes, and instead of being there until 7, I got home by 5.
Yeah, I'm still not hungry, I'm sore, and I'm SOOOOOO tired.
Chalk up an unintended fast day, loads of calories expended, and an early night.
I hope my buddies had a better day.
