you could just say that your responsibilities increased after she left.
Depends--do you want to make the point that you stepped up quickly/without training? Or just that you had more responsibilities than your title/can do her work. I think left unexpectedly is good if you're going for the former...
Kristin, I think the letter sounds good...you are already charging when she doesn't show up? It does seem to be a "let you down gently she doesn't need me anymore" thing, though, so maybe deemphasize that if it's not your plan...
No, I don't charge when she doesn't show. It didn't occur to me to set that policy in the beginning, which is why I've been so repeatedly screwed lately.
Coffee: Okay, I sent it. Yay conflict-avoidy me. I modified that second-to-last paragraph to read:
I don't want to push to meet with her if you feel that she no longer needs regular tutoring. However, if you would like to continue our sessions, I need to request 24-hour notice in non-emergency situations.
Fingers crossed that this doesn't cause the mom to get nasty.
I think it looks good, Kristin. I hope you get positive results from it.
And DEFINITELY institute a cancellation fee!
An hour and no posts? What's going ON here???
Or rather, why is it NOT going on here??
Hrmph. Fine. I suppose I should get pretty for my evening of dinner and scrabble, get off the internet. I get the hint.
Maybe you're all out wishing really really hard for your candidate to win the primary of your choice.
I'm trying to work out budget numbers for a huge project. My head hurts.
I was trying to get the kids fed after yoga class. My computer is back! Yay!
I was orienting new hires. One seemed outstanding. The other one seemed stoned. Orientation was a bit short-notice so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he was just tired.
I'm working on my PCP's quilt (here's a picture of the first square: [link] ). I should probably be in bed, but I'm not tired, so I'll work a bit longer.
I had cleaners come out and do a deep clean on the house today. Nice eh? Except even though I told them the size of the house and the scope of what was needed, they still underestimated the time, so I'm going around the house making a list of what they missed and they are coming back in the am to finish. They did a lot, but man, now the stuff they didn't do is even more glaringly dirty. I feel like such a slob.
