Just a few minutes after hitting post, the phone rang. It was Tandy. Apparently Virginia told her that I would consult the cards about whether or not I would do this reading for this lady.

Last I recall, I told Virginia to tell Tandy to NOT call me tonight about this, but to call me tomorrow. And we'd discuss it.

Tandy's pretty much sold on the idea that I give this lady a reading and charge her for it.

I am questioning the sanity, and desire to live a long life, of some of my friends.

I agree with the comments on your previous post. If you want to persue giving a reading, I would make it PERFECTLY clear that they are paying for a reading, not for their convenience. Be blunt about it. You are not a 24 hr tarot service. If they want a reading, you will give one to them. But it's totally on your terms. If they want it accurate, with you refreshed and not 1 am, they will only be allowed to contact you between X-X hrs to set up a time for a reading. You can't be expected to drop everything you're doing to give them a reading that takes time. You are busy. They are paying for your service. So set hrs for your service and they will have to follow it unless they want to get kicked out of the store. Make no exceptions.

Tandy doesn't sound like a person that takes anyone else's feelings into consideration. She wants what she wants and she wants it right now. I wouldn't take it. I'd give her one chance for her to follow your rules and if she doesn't, I would refuse to work with her. You are simply too busy and deal with too many other things to fool with her nonsense.

Or, if you really wanted to, I guess you could do a reading for yourself to see how this relationship with her will end up. You might decide to not work with her at all.

Opps, wanted to clarify. I misread. Tandy was the one giving the readings, not asking for them. So I didn't mean she was the one that wasn't observing other's feelings, it's the lady that she was reading for. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, I was going to point that out, but you got it! :)

I don't know, I told Tandy I would probably do a reading this weekend. Give me some time to prepare...and not have to work at the same time.

It also gives me a reason to exercise that neglected part of myself.
