My T has double booked me about a dozen times. It doesn't feel good, especially when I have really felt a strong need to talk to T that day. A few times, T chose me to get the appointment time and the other client had to leave. A few times, I was the one who had to leave. I don't know how T chooses. One time when this happened T and I discussed how he was going to prevent double booking from happening in the future. He just gets very sloppy with his scheduling sometimes, and I wanted him to tell me how he was going to do better. He had some ideas and shared them with me.

Earlier this week, T failed to show up on time for my appointment. He eventually called and told me he would arrive 45 minutes after our scheduled starting time, and he offered me a shorter appointment beginning at that time. I seemed to agree but after we hung up I decided I didn't want to accept his offer and left. I had a ton to do that day and it just wasn't worth it to me. I did leave him a voice message saying I had decided to leave. It was pretty frustrating, so I know how it feels to not be able to depend on one's T.
