Thursday at the clinic.
Three people, about twenty-five customers a day. Fiona treats for seven hours and runs the business in the gaps — between customers, in the evening, on Sundays.
-
A customer cancelled an afternoon slot.
Ubi offered it to the waiting list overnight · it was taken in twenty minutes · the chair was never empty
-
Fiona read her whole day in one line before she unlocked the door.
Ubi assembled it from the calendar · nine customers, one of them new · nothing left over from yesterday
-
Fiona put a ten-minute gap between appointments.
Ubi asks every customer afterwards · noticed the same complaint for the fourth time this month · proposed the gap
-
Fiona treated customers for seven hours.
Ubi held everything else until she was free · nothing below interrupted her
-
Fiona filmed twenty seconds on her phone between two customers.
Ubi turned it into a week of posts for four channels · in the clinic's own voice, described once · drafts waiting for her OK
-
Fiona approved a week of promotion built on add-on services — not discounts.
Ubi saw the rent and the quarterly insurance coming · prepared the proposal before she had to ask
-
Fiona did none of the admin.
Ubi reordered supplies from what was actually used · filed a photographed receipt · found next week's cover one connection away · sent the month's receipts to the accountant
-
Fiona settled whether the clinic opens on Saturdays.
Ubi asked both therapists separately, in their own time · put the two views and the one real disagreement side by side
Ubiami carried
- Remembering the cancellation, the supplies, the rent
- Turning one video into a week of publishing
- Asking every customer, and noticing the fourth same answer
- Filing, compiling, finding the cover
What stayed with Fiona
- Her customers, and seven hours of treatment
- Her own voice — every post is hers before it goes out
- What suits her customers: the ten-minute gap was her call
- How the clinic runs: Saturdays, cash, the team
The business stays at work. Fiona doesn't have to.
