Now I’m having nightmares about my clients

So this client keeps stressing me out. She calls several times a day. She doesn’t want to take my advice so I don’t know how else to help her. Unfortunately since the pandemic all my work calls are forwarded to my cell phone so I know when I’m getting a call after hours. She called me at least 6 times in less then 2 hours. I didn’t answer as I do not work weekends. This woman has no boundaries. I am sure when I call her Tomorrow she will complain that I didn’t take her calls or call her back yesterday. I want to just go off on her but I know I need to remain calm and simply tell her she cannot get me after hours and I won’t allow her to consume every bit of my time. I know I need to say it delicately but at this moment I don’t have the words to be nice.

Does she know calls are forwarded to your cell? If not, just tell her (probably again) that you only work certain hours and if she leaves a message, you'll get back to her as soon as possible upon your return to the office.

@NotJamieM she actually expects me to answer the phone. She thinks I need to be available at all times.

@Sassygirl42 that sucks. Nobody can (or should) be available all the time.
