what a coincidence...the other morning a new client called at 9:30 to book a 10am appt.
He sounded cool on the phone no issues seemed sober.
He arrived and called at least 5 times for entry code. I assumed it was a bad connection but when he appeared at my door he was a wreck. He said he had a few drinks after he made the initial call because he was nervous. I told him I don't think this was a good idea but couldn't let him leave in his condition. I put him in my spare room to let him sleep for a bit. After an hour he got up and said he was okay. I suggested he go to the corner store and get some coffee. I watched him walk over to the store. His car remained at my building all day. I assumed he uber'd or cabbed out.
Saturday morning he called to thank me and to book another appointment. I was apprehensive at first.
I told him he can't show up in the same condition as before. He promised me he wouldn't.
He was such a nice guy. Very apologetic. And generous. Although not expected he paid me for the first appt too.
I was glad I gave him a second chance. He appeared to be grateful too.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
