I have to apologize for sounding mean. That is not like me. I guess at the time I really didn't think about how I sounded as long as I got the point across without mentioning names. And Ana, I think you know the type of person I am. It takes a lot to get me riled up, and I think I am a very positive person, especially with everything that has happened to me lately. Clients will have to admit that I'm very personable to be around.
If you could see the "directions to my place" I send out to my clients then most would realize why I am so upset. I tell clients at least three times in person, in my email back to them, and in my "directions page" about certain things I don't want mentioned in a review or told to anyone through backchanneling. Yes! The guy in question is very nice. Yes, I am mad about it, because someone just being nice doesn't cut it when it comes to my safety and privacy. No, it's too late for TER to do anything about it and I don't blame them.
When your family is sick and you've lost someone, and others are sick around you, a person tends to lose their cool after awhile. I, too, had surgery awhile back (and no, not cosmetic surgery). Between my family members being sick, all the drama on the board here (which I try not to get involved with anymore), my own healing and still seeing men and making them feel pampered without them even knowing what's going on in my personal life has been a challenge, but one I accept. It has been hard to accept that some guys really don't think about the repercussions of their actions. How many ladies have done appointments right after surgery and still made the guy feel like he was the only one on the planet? Not many, I'm betting. However, those who do know the effort that goes into our business and know the trials and tribulations involved will understand. Yet some forget to realize it. We become robots to some people, and you know what? That's okay as long as you respect our privacy and treat us nicely.
We all have our down time and get discouraged, but I feel like I have always conducted myself in the most professional manner when I'm with clients. I treat them like royalty, do not gossip about other women, do not talk about bad things in my family, and try not to destroy the trust or fantasy experience for the gentleman.
I realize some men really mean well when they write a review, but they don't think about what certain things will be revealed because they feel the need to be helpful or courteous. That's understandable, but if you're in question of something, don't write it or say it, especially if someone tells you three times and also states it in print. H E L L O ! ! ! Gossip then starts and gossip hurts, especially if LE is watching.
Now, back to your regular-scheduled program. 
Hugs,
Ciara
