Aren't I Human Too.

Well for the first time in 7 years I took a vacation out for the holidays. Being self employed those days don’t come easy. Yes I was shocked myself that I would take off for a whole week. Mind you I didn’t go far away from work. Just worked around the house site back watch a few movies and began reading a book I been trying to read for the last year. Oh the book, it’s call the jade unicorn. Been out of print for a while now. But a good book.

Now my business phone I do not answer. But I do listen to the message, just in case there is something big that needs to been handle. Even in that case I would call the temp out to handle it. If you have a business then you would understand what I’m about to say. Some people out there are just crazy. For the last two hours on Christmas morning I received 22 calls. Now this is on Christmas morning. You should hear what people say when they don’t get there way. I mean one guy argue with a machine for 20 minutes. Now I have friends that are in the same line of business that I’m in and say this time of the year is a gold mine. Not me. There are those days when you just want some quiet time to your self. Do thing that you been putting off for years. Or go on that vacation you been planning, you know all that good stuff the American dream kind of thing.

No not I , I just wanted to lay around the house and take it easy. But every two to four hours I would site and listen to the business messages. You would hear a lot of telemarketing sos but mainly customers complaining why haven’t you call back yet. Sometime I just want to call and say get some one else. But you can’t do that . No!! That’s your bread and butter. Some of these people have been with me for more than five years. Once you get clientele like that you want to keep them happy. Although three week before I sent out letter and told every face by face that I was off for a week. People don’t listen. I’m human and I need time off too.
