I’m so sorry, please let me rant to the void…
I swear to God I am going to have to eliminate Boomer women from my client lists. It’s like their brains have all quit functioning. First of all, I am a recent widow and both of my dogs died so I am barely holding it together. I have been pet sitting since 2018, so I’m not an idiot.
Client #1 confirmed her set of 2 dates MULTIPLE TIMES via text and FB Messenger, but when I show up for the first visit, there she is at her house. Both sets of dates are incorrect. I try to be patient bc she had a brain tumor last year, but I can’t work with incorrect information.
Client #2 was very nice when my husband died, and is always telling me how wonderful I am and wants to chat on the phone all the time bc of my situation. Goes on a 10 day trip to Germany. I sent her an invoice the night before she leaves letting her know that I accept cash or check because I know she doesn’t use PayPal. This is not our first rodeo, but there is no check or cash when I get there so the day after she returns I asked her to please mail me a check because the mortgage is due. Nothing has come in the mail.
Client 3 pulls the same stunt as client 1. She sends me her memorial weekend visits and I show up Friday night to feed pixie and give her her meds but the client is there. She never once thought to tell me that they weren’t leaving Friday afternoon and she also neglected to tell me that she wanted visits Sunday night and Monday morning.
I do not read minds. Because if I did, I would have my own island somewhere with no people thank you for listening to my rant. I’m just so frustrated that something that has been done so many times is like a brand new situation they’ve never dealt with before.
