I guess I'm now a real Salon owner!

Well, today I guess I joined the club. I am now officially one of you.
My employee that opens on Wed. my only morning off, did not show up.
She had tickets to Blue Man Group last night, so I worked a double so she could go. In addition I lether have Friday night and Saturday off.
I'm hoping that she is safe, unless she is in the hospital, she will be looking for another job.

I was so looking forward to having a cup of coffee at my kitchen table this morning...

Yup, welcome welcome! I had a girl call in on my birthday last year, after she had called in a couple times before that and was out of town the day before my birthday. And that was my day off to do what I wanted to do, so I fired her. Luckily I found a replacement. Im finding out that it sucks having employees. You are always working around their schedule it seems.

Thanks for all your support everyone.
I knew this was part of the territory. I was a surprise because I know she loved working here.
I know what I signed up for when I started this. Funny thing, one of my best customers left her a birthday card (Friday is her 21st.). He was here at 9 when she wasn't so he left if under the mat. He called and was surprised to get me on the phone.
There was $100 in it. He told me to keep it.
I'll just apply it to his account. Oh well. My sales just went up $100 for the day.
Still wish I had a coffee thouigh.

It's like Murphy's Law! It never fails! First day off I THINK I'm going to get I have to either get up early and open up or I go through the day thinking "It's finally going to go smooth for once" and then I get the call and I have to close. Whoever it was that called in, gets a nice little last minute phone call on one of my scheduled days to work and I make them come in for me.
