Important

wow...interesting day today. i've never once gotten a negative complaint from a client about my work ethic or behavior on a job. today, one of the companies i work for got an email from a hotel downtown stating that they were not satisfied with my service based on 2 recent shows. they stated that for the first show i was short with the client and told the client that i didn't have what she wanted and therefore couldn't do what she needed. then on a show last week...someone on the banquet staff complained that i was short with them.

in the first case...i wasn't mean to the client, but i'll fully admit that i wasn't able to accomodate what she wanted at the exact second she wanted it. basically, what she ordered and what we provided for equipment was nowhere near what the show actually required. by jerry rigging a few things, reprogramming a whole assisted listening system and taking gear from the hotel and what we had, i was able to actually pull it off. the client was actually very rude and unprofessional with me at times and it took a lot of effort just to not throw my arms in the air and say "listen lady, your dumb ass ordered the wrong gear and i am saving your job by busting my ass right now to cover up for your stupidity." when i am working hard and at a fast paced, at times i dont think about smiling and being polite...i just think about getting the job done correctly.

in the second case...i think sometimes people see my long hair and big stature and assume that because im not bubbly and friendly that i'm not nice. its not true at all. i can be a quiet guy sometimes and do speak shortly...not because im being mean, just because i don't always want to small talk.

fortunately the company has not gotten a single piece of negative feedback about me before this so the manager is on my side. i informed him that since i was going back to that hotel tomorrow, i would be more than happy to have a quick, friendly conversation with the banquet manager about what happened and to find out what i could do better to make sure this doesn't happen in the future. of course, when my manager sent her an email she declined to talk to me tomorrow. why do people choose not to just deal with their problems with people face to face...im a pretty easy going, approachable guy...i don't bite.
 
i should also say that the second show went off without a hitch and the end client was very pleased and thanked me several times for everything i did with them. in general it was a very pleasant show to work on...don't know what went wrong with who. it was someone on the hotel banquet staff though...
 
She clearly wanted to throw shit at you and put the blame on you, not discuss it in person and admit fault. That's why she didn't want to talk, just accuse you of things to your management.

I voted first thing this morning. Now I feel that I have the right to bitch about the outcomes. My retarded brother has never voted a day in his life but says he holds the right to bitch b/c he lives in a free country and stands behind "freedom of speech".......gee, wonder what keeps this country able to provide that benefit?!?!?

Cheese "vote like there is Bacon in the booth" Man

B/S. He's not part of the political process.

I got into a political discussion in the bar when I was in college. The gent said that he did not vote as a protest.

"This conversation is over."

"WHAT?"

"Because you've conscientiously decided to remove yourself from the elections, your opinion about elected officials & legislation mean less than what I scraped off the bottom of my shoes this morning."

He was not happy that he got slammed down.
 
I've been voting since I was 17...

i'll admit...i've abstained from voting on several occasions when i didn't believe any of the bs that certain canditates were spewing. its not un-american to abstain if you are doing it as a choice, not out of laziness. however, i made no attempt to bitch after the election...i just kept my feelings to myself.

i rarely make it a point to tell people who i am voting for...i have my reasons, and they are my reasons. no one in this world will change them. i don't need anyone judging me personally based on who i voted for. its part of whats wrong with our party system in this country...if your not with us, your against us. and that my friends is a huge smelly, steaming pile of bs. working together is what makes this country strong. its only when we point fingers at people and say "this is all your fault" that we start to fall apart. this country has been doing a lot of finger pointing lately, and i tell you what folks...we aren't going to be getting out of this rut until that crap stops. no matter who gets elected. its okay to disagree...in fact its really healthy. however, the times that this country has taken the biggest steps forward are the times we work together.

i know others will disagree, but in my opinion, this country would be much better served at this point to abolish all political parties. i know some people would have to think and educate themselves...but would that really be a bad thing :)
 
I'll be voting but it wouldn't matter. At least in the presidential race. A Mormon is running and I'm in Utah. My vote....no matter who I voted for would have the same effect as a flee fart in a hurricane.
