Here here! What an erudite definition of what we actually do. Sometimes I feel it's like spinning plates.

A friend saw my home office for the first time and said, "You have an office? What for?". I told her I spend 80% of my time there, not the Dungeon and she was shocked. The fantasy of what we do is pervasive.

I wholeheartedly agree with your reply to nomasks too. If a Domme is habitually late, maybe you need to find another Domme or house. My go to Dommes for doubles are always on time and prepared. In my experience those that aren't on time and prepared, aren't the best Dommes.
