Inconsiderate Clients
OK what is it about my clients that don't realize that my time is valuable and worth something and that I am providing them with a very expensive service FOR FREE oh and also that they are not my only clients, that I have a case load of about 25 cases, meaning 50 PEOPLE who want my help!
I have had 2 no shows in the last 2 days, so completely annoying. Yesterday's didn't really surprise me, the client told me that they were considering reconcilling when she called to book the appointment. She then stated that she wanted to come in anyway because at the very least I could provide her with counselling resources. I assumed once she didn't show up that they DID reconcile but what ever happened to common curtesy and cancelling the appointment. That was an hour that I could have EASILY filled with my other clients...but hey at least I got caught up on phone calls and paperwork.
Today's clients on the other hand really did surprise me - it was for a joint mediation session and neither party called nor showed up...nice huh? I guess this means I am assuming that the session we booked on the 4th of June is also not going ahead so obviously I will be rebooking that time for other clients...almost makes me wish they show up then so I can turn them away!!!!

Online Dating
Completely freaks the crap out of me...
I just don't think I can do it. I tried the eharmony thing and actually met a guy on
it that seems nice and sweet and who actually lives NEAR me (unlike most of my matches that are from 60 million miles away!) matches with my qualifications (age, height, religion, no kids, has a job - as a side note I don't get why eharmony asks you do put in your requirements if they are going to continuosly IGNORE them???) and who wants to meet me in person (and is willing to come to me and to take me to lunch) but the idea of meeting someone off the internet FREAKS THE CRAP OUT OF ME!
LOL I keep thinking that they will all be ax murderers, serial rapists, stalkers and will follow me home...so I just don't think I can do it. Don't get me wrong...like I said this guy seems like a nice guy and I have enjoyed e-mailing with him (plus he was one of the few who was willing to get to know me online first before meeting).
Maybe it is my job...I deal with too many weird and psycho people. Maybe once you have heard MULTIPLE stories of abusive and crazy people plus have a restraining order against one of them yourself (longer story for another day) you just can't get past it. But now my problem is that this nice sweet guy wants to meet me this weekend...up until now I have been saying ok...but the idea makes me feel physically ILL...so now I think I need to get out of it...

American Idol
So I wasn't expecting this week to be an elimination week on American Idol due to the Idol Gives Back special so I was a bit surprised with my channel surfing when I came across the elimination show...and just let me say I am ticked off about who left!!!
Michael Johns was one of my favourites on the show...from the audition process I have been rooting for him and his is definately a cd I would buy!!!
All I have to say now is he better get a contract!
I think my votes now go to David Cook - I think he is really talented...

The frustration of picking a name
How is it that a person can be fairly secure in their identity but it is such hard work picking a name for a blog!? I think I just went through 50 different options to get to this...now hopefully I can find something worthwhile to actually talk about on here...
Here's to joining the world of bloggers...
