Advanced Planning

So there is a group who is arriving soon and by soon I mean early next week. Over 100 people. The planner couldn't be bothered to sign the contract before yesterday morning. This gives me chest pains. Theoretically, I am not going to do anything with the information until Monday anyway, but the fact that they are withholding the information is driving me crazy. As my boss would say "I'm all out of sweet girl."

So yesterday morning after I receive the signed contract, I drop everything to send them menus and AV questions. Nothing...just the frogs outside my office croaking. No information being returned, only sent. This morning I start making calls - no answers, no return calls. Blood pressure is hitting amazing levels at this point. Maybe I'll go to the hospital with the woman who felt like she was having a heart attack. Did I mention it's been a good day so far? Oh wait, she wants to go to Gaston Memorial...too far away from my house. I guess I'll just stay here and hope that maybe someone will decide it would be beneficial for me to have meeting details.

Have I mentioned that patience is not a virtue I possess? I called the assistant's cell phone. I mean, her fault for giving it to Crystal if she didn't want any of us to call her. So I'm telling her in my sweetest voice possible that I really need a decision on lunch for next week as well as how they want the rooms set up and what their AV needs are. Well, she's just so glad I have called. However, right now she is in Walmart, and can't hear me too well so she needs to call me back when she returns to the house.

Yet another way the Walmart wins out.
