    I’m a massage therapist 😄

    The preceding conversation taught me that scrub-wearing people who work in hospitals don’t wear their scrubs outside the facility & don’t have to wash them themselves, they leave their scrubs at work and there’s a separate crew responsible for scrubs laundry.

    My life is not like that.

    The worst filth my scrubs ever encounter are my own body sweat & occasional massage lotion mishaps.

      Hey, massage therapy is good for well-being, too. 🩵 Maybe not as “noble” per se but it’s a good service for those that afford it. 😁✌️

        Thank you yeah I work my ass off to complete exhaustion every day, and I deserve $1,000 per client, but I only get paid $1,000 every two weeks 😭 and anyone who can afford massages can certainly afford to pay me $1,000 per massage. I must find a way to make this happen.

            And we all know that kind of money is certainly floating around and landing in some people’s hands. I’m one of those people who is deserving of $1,000 per client. I work my ass off to exhaustion. And not only do I work hard but I take impeccable care of my health too, this is over-the-top perfection here. Pay people what we’re worth.

                The harder I work, the more money I deserve. Five happy glowing grateful clients a day. Great for them, exhausting for me.

                  So you’re saying you deserve one hundred thousand dollars a month for this work? Not jokingly? That’s over a million dollars a year. 🙂

                    You think that’s outlandish? I’m pretty sure both you & I are aware that there are people who earn more than that per year for doing a whole fuckton less work than I do. People lose their minds over how good & essential massages feel, and they keep coming back for more. IF YOU APPRECIATE US SO MUCH, PAY US ACCORDINGLY!! WE’RE NOT SLAVES!
