O.K., let me start by saying that I have a "town job". Being a single parent with only 106 acres of my own, it would be really hard to raise a daughter without one. I'm a massage therapist for people and horses. This is a story about my "town job."
That said, I'll get on with the story.
It was a day where everything that I touched took longer than expected. I gave my mare a massage and that took an hour and a half, then I had 2 clients in town, so I had to rush in to meet the first one.
The first lady that came into my office is a horse trainer, and, well, she's always a mess, so I worked on her until my second client came. O.K., so my second client is waiting in the hall, and out comes Client 1 with a bloody nose. She says that she gets them from the heat. I get her lined out with Kleenex, and tell her that there is ice in the freezer in the break room. She goes in the bathroom and gets herself cleaned up.
Client 2 has heard from some of my other clients that I do great work, but it's not always comfy. She has heard that other massage therapists don't do a whole lot, and she's never had a massage before in her life.
I bring her in while I'm changing sheets from Client 1 and start talking to her. Well, there's a little blood on the sheets, and Client 2 is wondering what the hell she's gotten herself into. All through the massage, she's explaining to me her muscle structure, and what her chiro said, and this is doing this, and that's doing that, yada, yada.
Well, by the time I get done with her I'm talking about some of the things that her chiro said, and telling her which muscle does what and this and that. I leave so that she can get dressed. She gets up off the table and she gets dressed, opens the door and says, "I'm not bleeding!"
I looked at her really funny and said, "Did you expect to be?" I'm actually thinking, "Well, surprise, lady, I'm a massage therapist, not a surgeon."
She says, "Well, I kinda wondered when your last client walked out with a bloody nose."
