No, you are not breaking an unspoken protocol. I usually schedule a day or two in advance but it has it's problems. A lot of times the meeting does not happen for one reason or another. NCNS or her car breaks down or her phone dies, etc. Same day appointments have a better chance of working out.

Reason they are excited about now is that they get a client, which equals income. A week from now may or may not happen. Don't let that bother you. Schedule when you need to. The organized providers got you down. The others probably aren't worth seeing.
