I'm not wanting to come straight home from work on DSundays and flop straight after dinner and coffee, which is good.

But I'm terrified of my short term memmory issues because I've not had any before and it just...holy shit it's freaky. I don't expect them to be permanent, but it's still really fucking scary.

...

Wish me luck. I give four massages, three of which are ninety minute ones. The first is an hour long, then the rest of the day is full up with nineties. They did us the solid of putting either hour or half-hour breaks between them, but still, holy fuck, folks. Just holy fuck.

Good luck.

Thank you. I about asked my manager who I had. Sometimes knowing helps. Especially since I can mentally prepare myself for those who just want qiet vs. those who like conversation. )I have both.)

That's what I like about Massage Envy: they don't force the clients to be silent. Some places don't like client conversation and tell you to tell the person to quiet themselves because "It's their time to relax." Not knowing that sometimes talking *is* relaxing for them.

Scary about the memory. Hopefully it'll resolve soon.

It's mostly what people tell me. I totally forgot that a client didn't want hands until I started working on the second one. I felt bad for that.

Sometimes it's been lines from shit that's been trained into me, but that doesn't happen as much anymore, which is why I don't expect it to be a permanent thing. It's still scary, though.

Darn.

I'll bet.

Had a resurgence of an issue I've had since childhood because I didn't get elected for a committee at church. That I wasn't especially wanting to be on. Being excluded, ignored, not good enough, not chosen. That sort of thing. Just when you think you're over your childhood trauma...

Thanks.

I hate that feeling. :-(

Thanks. *hugsback*

[we_are_spc]

Ug, that sucks. *hugs*

I get that. I didn't realize how educationally abused I was until recently, and now the repressed 'not smart enough vs. too smart/too chatty' has been coming up. It's hard when you think you're over it, and it rears it's ugly little head again.

Thanks. *hugsback*

Exactly.
