I'm Sorry, TicketMaster Lady
I discovered today that my next vacation is 6 weeks away. That seems like an eternity. In 6 weeks I will be 13 weeks along. I'm not sure if we are going anywhere. Morgan wants to go to the beach. I want to stay home and pet my (hopefully showing by then) belly while watching really bad movies. Ahhhh. . .doesn't that sound wonderful?
Why was I counting the weeks till temporary freedom? Because my Crazy Boss Lady showed her un-professionalism today in a way that made me look like an ass. We had a visit from our Regional TicketMaster Rep today. She drove over 4 hours to come visit our location, check our equipment, and make sure we are now issue free with the selling system. We have known about this visit for a week. Crazy Boss Lady forgot. So as I am grabbing my notes and headed out to meet the TM Rep at the Info Desk she says to me "Hey, don't let that lady take up too much of your time! You have more important things to do today!" Which I ignored. If we have a contract with you, and you drive over 4 hours to come see me, then you are more than welcome to have my undivided attention for as long as you need it.
35 minutes later Crazy Boss Lady showed up at the desk to remind me that I have a 2pm conference call. I was confused. I didn't remember their being a conference call scheduled for today. So I said goodbye to the TicketMaster Rep, apologized for not taking her out for lunch, and quickly shuffled back to the office for this mysterious conference call scheduled to start in 3 minutes. A conference call that didn't exist. A conference call my CBL invented because the TM rep had taken up enough of my time already.
Seriously? TM is bringing us a lot of business, money, customers. You know, those things we desperately need! And this rep drives a hell of a long way for 35 minutes of face time? And isn't it common courtesy that if a business contact comes to visit your property you take them out to lunch to thank them for their time? Isn't that how things are supposed to work? Nope, not in CBL's world. Professional courtesy does not exist.
And what was so important that I had to come back to the office and not spend any more time with the TM rep? Making my follow up calls to the churches I have visited in the past week. Follow up calls that could have waited till tomorrow. Nothing immediate. Nothing more important than the rep for a company that is making us quite a bit of money.
In Other News - the terrible Dr mentioned in the prior post did call me today to let me know I don't have a urinary tract infection and to see if the antibiotics he gave me are helping at all. That's all very nice except that I'm not having any urinary issues and he didn't give me any antibiotics. Yup. Wrong patient. If there was any doubt that he will never see me again this pretty much cleared that up. THANK YOU to everyone who commented or sent well wishes after I poured my heart out about Monday's appointment. Thank you so much. It helped to calm me down. It helped me a lot.
