5 Years of Working Around Holidays in Private Practice in 1 min.

Year 1: If anyone wants to come in that Friday, of course I’ll be there.

Year 2: Gee last year most people cancelled, still better to be there than lose income.

Year 3: Hmm maybe I should ask clients if they really think they’ll come. Still 2 of 4 cancel.

Year 4: Ok I’ll offer a few slots in the am for those who can commit. Repeat above.

Year 5: Hey everyone, I’m taking off that day.
