Phew* I had a booking come through with only about 60 minutes notice which I'd normally say it was too short a notice and I'd not prearranged my security buddy, but I had already had to cancel on this guy once and he was so lovely on the phone and I thought...urgh
So there's me ringing my security buddy, not able to do it, emailed a friend and she couldn't either, and by then the clo9ck was ticking and I thought 'oh no!' emailed and phoned a few other people, leaving hasty message without inhaling or exhaling ONCE! I got myself into a real fluster running around like a headless chicken stressing about not knowing who to call so I posted this 'help emergency eek**!! post', and finally my friend rang back and said ok *right* before I was going to cancel the booking, what an amount of stressing!!! I think because I'm still new I the whole thing managed to freak me out rather effortlessly, and as it turned out everything was totally fine.
It's funny but actually having something else to fret over helped me be really relaxed for the booking itself and I didn't get the jitters for it as my energy was on something else.
Anyway, sorry to use this forum as my personal sounding board, and big apologies for having posted regarding security in the wrong spot and on such short notice I didn't mean to be rude. Just think of me as Chicken Little running around like the sky is falling xx Thanks for letting me air the experience too.
Mugs of tea for everyone!
