This is a total rant! I have only been back at work now for a week or so, and juggling my personal life, and my work life has been alittle tricky. I am just go-go-go at this point, and I am having a hard time keeping up with all my emails.

There is nothing more frustratating then gentlemen who write to me one day, and not even a day later leave comments like:

“Well I guess because I haven’t heard back from you, you must have found someone else, and I will just forget all about it”

“Did I do something to piss you off, why are you ignoring me?”

“You must be busy, and I guess I will leave you alone now and just forget all about us”

I mean, literally, these guys aren’t allowing me a full day to respond! The last five days, I have not had time to sit down at my computer at all, to respond to emails, and to take care of business. I post my ad, and then go about my day.

The problem is, most are used to me being able to respond to their emails right away, and when I am unable to, they think I am ignoring them. I recieve all my emails on my cell phone, and if I get an appointment request for within the next 24 hours, I try to take care of that first. Anything else I try to respond to as soon as I have free time to do so. And I ALWAYS start answering emails in the order of the oldest first, then work my way to the most recent.

I love all my clients, and friends so very much, but lately it seems like a few are being really almost too demanding. I am trying my best to keep up, and to please everyone. But please understand, I have a personal life, and sometimes it can get ULTRA hectic! I have had a family member here, and basically she has allowed for me to get anything done, because she was over my shoulder during everything little thing I am doing!

I finally got rid of her, and have spend the last two days just trying to get my personal life back on track along with my business life where it needs to be.

I am supposed to head to Grand Junction in two days, and I haven’t even had the time to advertise for it. 

Just because I have posted an ad, it doesn’t mean I am sitting next to my computer waiting for emails and calls to come in. I can post my ad from my cell phone, when I am out doing errands!

Another thing, sometimes when I get on TOB, it is to destress from my day, and to just take my mind off everything else. If you see me on TOB, and I haven’t replied to your email, you are not the only one, and please give me more time. Often times I am logged on through my cell phone, and I am just browsing while travelling somewhere.

I would say that if you email me, and you haven’t heard back in two days, email me again. If you are emailing for same day  appointment, give me like a few hours, or just call me!

Okay, sorry for the rant! I absolutely love pleasing my clients, and I love growing friendships, the only downside is that I can’t keep up with all the expectations. Many providers do not go out of their way to talk unless they are setting up appointments, and they think I am crazy for putting up with as much as I do, lol.

PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME! Thanks!
