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!
