no service change

Yoga night tonight. My regular instructor wasn’t there and the instructor subbing for her was just okay. She talked a lot, and it was…different. Which I suppose shouldn’t be surprising since they are different people. But she lost me when she told us we should melt our shoulders like warm icing going down our backs.

However, it did get me to thinking of the other “service providers” in my life, and how few changes I’ve made. I’ve had the same hairdresser for almost twenty years. Same dentist for about the same time. And I’d still have the same dental hygienist, but she left the office so I got a new one. I’ve received about 150 massages over the past eight years and all but one of them have been from the same RMT. I had the same doctor for ten years and only switched because I got pregnant.

Is this normal? I suppose it probably is. Why switch when you’re happy with the service you are receiving?
