are my standards too high?

last night i got a call from stef & johanna in vienna… was just what i needed… really made me smile… thank you.

 

so nice to catch up with them J

 

 

do you also find sometimes, that people will not listen to what you ask, or read it properly. merely glance at it and then tell you want they think you want to hear?

 

my day was full of people like that… from colleagues… insurance quoters, travel websites and hotels.

 

i began to think maybe it was me. i was happy to (ok, i would grudgingly) admit that it could be me, but not in cases like this.

 

hotel

“hello – who is your marketing manager please?”

“putting you through!”

 

garage door repairers

“hello, i need t speak to someone about the lock and system on my garage door”

“you can come in an buy a new lock, we have them in stock”

 

online travel website

“i cannot find my airline’s frequent flyer programme in the drop down list of choices on your site. can you see if it can be added?”

“you will find our drop down list of frequent flyer programmes under ‘my account’”

 

insurance people just ignore the questions they don’t want to answer

 

colleague doesn’t answer my e-mail, i get frustrated, she complains to me, using that dreaded cc function… so not necessary…

 

 

anyway – off to the theatre – gotta make snow 6 times this week. oh, and i recruited yet another colleague into the thespian world!

 

what bugged me today: colleagues (is this a recurring theme?)

 

what i learnt today: how to print a large photograph

 

what i am grateful for: Princess – or cleaning up after me so well, and folding my t-shirts in the cupboard!
