GRRRRRRR!!! Im going to need a drink by the end of this week!!
Oh lord the week Ive had!
Monday the contractors were working on the interior of my new shop (YEAH!!)
I had found a steal on a glass display counter and had it delivered monday morning and put in the corner away from where the workers were putting up walls and stuff. Around noon my contractor calls and says there has been a small accident but not to worry he would fix it. What kinda accident? Well it seems that some of his guys were horsing around and a electric saw went through the top of my display case. ARGGGHHH But he promises he will get it fixed.
A good friend of mine has a shop about 45 minutes away from mine and has been letting me groom my really good clients at her shop so when she asked me if I would work at her shop for this week so she and her husband could go out of town for her vacation I said sure no problem! I dont mind helping out, but you know if Im by myself I can only do 10 dogs aday. No problem she says I'll have my father in law( her business partner, but knows nothing about grooming) there to help answer phones and make appoinments. Cool right? WRONG!!
Yesterday there were only 3 dogs on the book and it was raining so hard you could hardly see, so I finish up those three dogs and start to leave about 10:30 when her F-i-L looks at me and says arent you staying in case anyone else calls? Uhh no... Well you want me to call you back in if anyone else calls? Uhh no...
So today Im grooming away when (had 10 booked) when suddenly her F-i-L pops back and says I took this extra bath! More money! Huh?? Im at my limit as it is... Next thing I know Im bathing a cute little jack russell, Ok no biggie,
Then around 11:00 the Mother-in-Law shows up with their other son's daughter (around 12 yrs old) and she spends most of the day playing with my friends (who owns the shop) schnauzer puppies that she had left at the shop for her in laws to take care of. Around lunch time the in laws decide to go get lunch and the kid doesnt want to go so she just spends the rest of the afternoon following me around, asking me enough questions to make me have a mental breakdown(Im not a kid person! Thats why Im a dog groomer!)
Oh yeah and the in laws havent taken the schauzer puppies outside so guess who gets to clean up after them!! Sometime during all this the laundry service delivers the towels for the week and guess who got to schmuck all those towels to the back with the in laws just sitting there are the receptionist desk
Then right as I am finishing up one of them pops their head back and asks: You have 14 on the book for tomorrow (at that my head starts spinning and the split pea soup is threatening to spew outa my mouth) Do you want to take just one more for this really good client of ours??
Uh no... I have to meet with my contractor tomorrow afternoon, please dont book anymore.
ARGGhhhhh I need a drink!
Thanks for letting me vent!
