Yesterday was one of those super frustrating days – everything took way longer than it should, several phone calls from people who “expect” certain things just because and my site crashed – it still has issues!!!

I know that instead of venting and listing some of my pet peeves I should refer back to Monday’s post but…..

1.  People telling me how to do my job.
Yesterday morning I got an email from someone who had dropped a payment check in the mail drop at our venue (less than a week ago).  He wanted to know when I was going to cash the check because a “pet peeve” of his is to have checks floating around.

I don’t go to the bank every day – it has been less than a week!!!  And, for the record, I will be depositing it today!!!

2.  People who say they are going to be somewhere at a certain time and then they don’t show up or call.

3.  Slow drivers!!!  Just because it is raining doesn’t mean drive 30 in a 45!!!

4.  People who expect me to give them something for free.
I had a call yesterday from an organization and, while it is a great group, the lady basically told me that she had heard I did 

or some code.  I told her I had no idea what that meant.  She said charity work.  And, she wanted me to donate a night for free.

Well, we have done some of that kind of thing and I’m happy to support causes I believe in.  However, the night she wanted is a Thursday and I’m leaving town Friday morning for a quick trip. Since we have a huge wedding Saturday (complete with 20ish table cloths!!!), I told her that I couldn’t donate the night when I’m going to have to pay someone to come in and clean.  

She did not back down (15 minutes on the phone – that I should have spent ironing table cloths!!!) – I’m meeting with her Monday morning to learn more about the organization because she is sure that is all I need to be convinced!!!

I think that really, it was just the way she went about asking – more like telling me that since I had donated for someone else I owed it to her to donate our venue.

5.  Technology issues stress me every time!!!

This is basically what keeps flashing – up when I try to do things!!!  I need it to stop!!!

In happy news – Hunter and I are running his first half marathon tomorrow!!!  I can’t wait!  He has done a great job with the training and is going to be awesome!!!

Happy Friday!
