fuck that! I wouldnt! That is totally rude and obnoxious to always be inviting yourself over your employee's house and other places, or anyone really, and just showing up and shit. I dont care how old the person is or what their life circumstance is

I dont think I could be mean to a really really old person.

I always think, what if that was my grandpa/grandma.

Sometimes really old folks get confused but in this case she aint THAT old

no, she is not that old and she is a raving bitch and it is most likely all her fault that she has NO ONE that likes her. That is what happens when you are a bitch all the time

a little rant about my job at the spa:

So the annoying thing about working there, is that when I dont have appts, I am at the front desk answering the phones, making appts, etc.

Now the massage therapists and nail techs who work there, are all part time, and all their availability is inconsistent and all over the place. No one but me actually goes to the spa and gets paid for being there if there are no appts.

It gets very cuntfusing scheduling people when they call because some of our therapists have different availabilities every week. Throw into that that in addition to the spa, we also do corporate massage and massage and health fairs and charity events and shit, scheduling is a bitch!

Also we have 3 different gift certificates right now that we accept: our own, spa finder gc, and also these promotional gf we did last xmas with a local radio station. We sold 150 gf's all had a value of $100 but people who bought them only paid $50 a piece. So you are getting $100 worth of services for only $50


So yesterday a woman calls who has two of these $100 promotional gf. She schedules a massage for herself and 1 for her daughter. Normally on weds there is a therapist named Heather who is available as well as my boss. So I scheduled both of them for 11am thinking that both Heather and my boss can do it.

Come to find out afterwards that Heather already has a massage in her house at 11, she cant come in till 12 and that my boss has a meeting to go to at 11 (which she did not indicate in the appt book whatsoever)

So then my boss says well see if you can schedule them for 2:30 as we both would be available then. So I call the woman today and leave a message. She calls back a couple of minutes later and my boss answers it. The woman cant do the afternoon, so my boss says to her well do you mind if we do your massages back to back instead o f at the same time? So the woman says fine. So she schedules it for 11 and 12. I was upstairs at the time so I missed the call and didnt hear the convo. So she tells me this, and I say to her, who is doing the 11am? She said to me Heather will. I said NO, I told you already and heather also told you that she cant get here till 12 tomm! So we had to call this woman back, AGAIN, and try to schedule her another way. Tomm was the only day they could come in and they cant do the afternoon. I ended up being able to schedule them both for 10am. Luckily I found another massage therapist who could do 10, and my boss could do 10 just not 11.


So later in the day, my boss then says "well they have the WOGL gf, did you tell her that they have to use the full value in one day? They will have a remainder, they cant use the remainder another time" I said to her yes, I am pretty sure I told her. She said how sure? I said about 95% sure. I said another woman also called yesterday and scheduled a massage for next week with those gf and I told at least one of them, but I am pretty sure I told both of them. She said well can you call her back and make sure she knows? I just looked at her like you have GOT to be fucking kidding me! I am NOT calling that woman again today! I could tell that she was annoyed about all the rescheduling, no way I am calling her again.

So I didnt.

Anyways, this kind of stuff is like regular occurance there, it is beyond annoying and not very good customer service. It is not cool that people call and want to come in and there are not always massage therapists available and that usually we have to call the therapists first to see who can do it before actually scheduling the appts.

Now my boss does have a lot on her plate. She does massage at the spa, she does the corporate accounts, she does massage for hospice patients, etc. But some of that stuff she does not write in the appt book. So sometimes, in the appt book it looks like she is available, when she really is not and then I schedule her massages and then she tells me she cant and then I have to call these people back and try to reschedule them.

well she wants to have a staff meeting next week and one of the things she wants to address is this scheduling nightmare. But I am doubtful that anything is really going to change much.

Well, that's what staff meetings are for. get your point across and ask her straight-to-the-point when/how these changes for the better are going to be implemented i order to maximise productivity for everybody. If you have any suggestions, let them be heard. You don't want to be attending meetings and not being able to have your say. I'm sure other colleagues will feel the same and your boss can only appreciate you being so involved. Go Michele!
