A day off

Sometimes, even wedding planner like to take a day off from work.
A day off would consist of checking my email in the morning and then again in the evening instead of being on the website 24/7, but even then I have angry clients.

I decided to take a couple of days off this past weekend. I started last Monday and decided that I would take Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (the 4th of July) off. Wow, 6 whole days! I worked all day Friday (No, I did not finish on Thursday) to make sure that I could take off the next five days. I only checked emails twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday, careful to print off those clients that needed my attention when I got back to work (I quit count after the 50th printing!). I tried to run a few errands on Sunday, but my friend reminded me of my time off---so much for sneaking in some work! I have worked all day today to catch up from Saturday and Sunday.
I have three appointments tomorrow because it was the only day in the next three weeks that we could get together. I still have Wednesday coming up. So all in all, my six days turned out to be two days and maybe a third, if I only keep it to checking emails and printing them off.

One client emailed me in all capital letters and exclamation points, so I think she is not a happy camper. Another worker emailed to let me know that she is taking another position, and still another client informing me of a wedding in Thailand. Add three clients who need wedding information like yesterday and a dozen of more inquiries.

A day off? Maybe I will try again next month.
