JEREMY - I spent 2 hours on Monday evening replying to about 70 emails (both those I could and couldn't see) however in those same 2 hours I received 40 new emails which made any progression appear somewhat bittersweet.
I'm still working my way through a back log of messages that built up during my time off in the first week of January.
Am I out of my depth with the admin side of things? Definitely.
Have a found a resolute answer to the problem? Not YET.
I'm not giving up though. I'm going to keep trying new strategies till I find one that works. They do say the road to success is one of trial and error.
ATMIV - Your email must have been one of the ones I opened and read during a study break, some of which I have now responded to and some of which are still pending my attention. I agree, I definitely made a school boy error there as opening mail I cannot immediately respond to will inevitably leave a few of you vulnerable to falling through the net. Lesson learned.
BLUE SUEDE GOO - Cancelled 4 times? Slight exaggeration perhaps? If you could PM me I will try and resolve this with you personally?
BIGUS DICKUS - The problem I had wasn't finding a hotel.. It was finding one that charges less than me! Lol! I'm trying to organise sharing a serviced apartment with another escort friend now.
As for turning down work.. Believe me, I find the situation most surreal. It was only 6 months ago I was sitting in a bar in Bristol newly single and at a bit of a financial loose end when my friend suggested I try escorting. I recall laughing and saying "Don't be ridiculous, I'm not good enough, nobody is ever going to want to pay for me!".. I still feel undeserving and continue to be overwhelmed by the attention, efforts and generosity shown towards me which only aids to heighten my frustration at the fact I am unable to communicate as effectively as I would like and reciprocate your recognition because of the predicament I find myself in. We do however seem to be going round and round in circles a bit on these threads which isn't really achieving anything.. As somebody has already pointed out.. Those willing to wait and persevere will eventually get a meeting.. Those that aren't prepared to do so have plenty more escorts to choose from and I wish you well.
Anyway.. Enough chatter from me.. I had better get back to those emails!

Well, my message requesting a booking this week, sent on the 05/01/15 was read by LK at 16:36 on the 11/01/15, so far no reply.
To be fair, I have had excellent comms from LK previously, but maybe that's part of the admin problem, she is very caring in her responses, even when they don't immediately result in a booking.
Would I have liked a reply and a meeting? Of course. Is it convenient? No
Am I going to kick up a fuss beyond stating the facts? No
I figure LK is doing her best, she doesn't need extra pressure from me. When you are very good you will be in demand.
My feeling is that she probably needs to be more ruthless with setting a few rules for emails sent to her along the lines suggested by ATMIV.
