Because we gave the raffle prizes at last night’s event too late, and in the bar.
You see, we (a not-for-profit) sponsored an event last night. Now there are exactly three people on staff. So we rely entirely on volunteer help. This event is co-hosted by a certain organization that will remain nameless.
She was hopping mad because we
[ul]
- had the last couple of raffle prizes in the bar. The party had moved into the bar, it was on the program, and everyone was aware of it. To have the rest of the prizes in the party room meant 85 % of the people wouldn’t have heard it.
- The music in the bar was loud. :rolleyes:
- Everything was very badly handled. Well, yes, it was disorganized. It’s three of us…handling about 200 people. [/ul]
I explained all this to her and more and it was clear that she was only calling to bitch, bitch, bitch. What I couldn’t tell her was that a lot of this was the fault of the other organization who are a bunch of…this isn’t a Pit thread. Let’s just say, that the head honchos over there did nothing to help us plan this party, dumped work on us last minute that was supposed to be there, etc., etc.
This is not a Pit thread. This is a comment: I’m glad I’m old enough and mature enough not to let this get to me. Five years ago I would have been in tears. Now only her blood pressure is up.
Oh, and BTW: I love my boss. She came charging out to defend me and told me to transfer her back. I didn’t need to, but she’s so good to me.
