Friday Morning Coffee Talk

Happy Friday Everyone! another chilly start to the day but the weekend looks nice and going back up to almost summer temperatures. The overnights this week have been cold and perfect for sleeping. I love being snuggled up under the blankets. Yesterday was a crazy day. The dog groomer was supposed to be here between 9am and 10am. She's notoriously late (all the time) but I still got up early, showered and dressed just on the off chance she would be here at 9am. When 10:30 rolled around I was annoyed so my daughter texted her and she had some lame excuse but said she would be on her way as soon as she found her car keys. To make along story short, by noon we had to text her again and she said she still hadn't found her keys but would be here when she did. I certainly didn't want to sit here all day waiting and I was getting madder and madder as each minute passed. My whole morning was wasted and I don't know if I was more mad that she was so unreliable or that I got up earlier than usual, showered and dressed to be ready for her. We left off that she still couldn't find her keys and has to have new keys made for her car which wouldn't be done until Monday. Sounds like a whole lot of "bull" to me and she just should have cancelled first thing in the morning. If our dog wasn't so old and does like the groomer I would be looking for someone new. Plus coming to the house is a bonus. That wasn't my whole day but it just turned into "one of those days" but thankfully today is off to a much better start. How's your Friday shaping up?

I’m sorry, Marilyn. That would frustrate me to no end as well. I don’t know how she stays in business. My Friday has been fine so far. My MRI was moved from yesterday to today at 11am, but that’s pretty much all I have planned. I really need to get caught up on reviews though. I’m way behind. I hope to see you around the rest of the day.

I dislike people who are unreliable and not punctual. Is it difficult to find another groomer?

There are groomers in the area but they have shops you have to go to. This lady comes to my house and it's easy

I'd be pretty mad too . . . she wasn't mindful of your time at all. I know mobile grooming is big these days . . . there's gotta be one who is just as good that your dog will be comfortable with AND will come at the time they say they will. My Friday has been productive . . . got lots of errands and chores done. I have one more kiddo to pick up - I hope to come home and take a nap!

@Marilynda1225 Hope your weekend went well too. How is it that we're almost at another Friday again? Maybe your current groomer will shape up if she finds out you're looking for a new one .

Glad you had a good and productive Friday. Mine turned out pretty good too. Looking for a new groomer is probably something I'm going to have to do

@much2say thecdays are just flying by aren't they. Its crazy! I think I'm going to start looking for a new groomer just to have one in mind for when the day comes that this one gets the boot

That sounds like a really flimsy excuse, maybe you can find another groomer to come in. My day was great today, it is warm and sunny and I took off early from work.

Wow! That is so rude that she didn't keep you advised as to what was going on. I spent a good deal of Friday changing email addresses. It's very frustrating because there are a lot of sites that have problems. Have a good weekend.

i am sorry and she is so unprofessional; it's not like she's doing this for free. can i ask you, she doesn't have her own salon so you can visit her next time?

I just detest waiting games and that happens here all the time.

That would be annoying. I wonder if it's really true that she lost her keys. It seems you don't think so.
