I completely understand your frustration. Where is the common courtesy of a response?
Hoping your fashion show is a success and generates some business for you.

 

[Muushka]

Too bad. I was really beginning to get psyched!

Muush and Trish in the new 'vette
Did anyone get a picture?

Sadly, no pictures. But it sure was fun!

Stopher, I am sorry people don't get back to you. That is something I just don't understand. If someone goes thru the trouble of giving a quote, you should at least have the courtesy of saying no thank you.

Hopefully as time goes by, it will get easier for you with an established clientele.

That stinks, we have the same happen to us. It seems to be the norm these days, but it still stinks

I was sharing the frustration with my mother the other day, and she said it's was that way for her all the years she was in business for herself too. She is a tailor, and has been since the late '60's. She only does it on a very minimal basis anymore, but yeah, people would come to her with various projects, get her thinking about what needed to be done and what kind of $$ would be coming in, and then just disappear without a word. Very sad.

Locally I have friends in the landscaping, handyman, painting, computer, craft and legal businesses and they all said the same thing, people can be so flaky and have no courtesy. Yes Jimmy - it stinks. I realize it's life - but it is nice to vent about it with people who understand. But even with these little frustrations... I'm enjoying myself.


Thanks Di & Barb too.

Never mind

I've made that walk many times & never seen it either.

The only time you will see it is when they are doing the Pirates Party (or whatever it is called). We have been walking by and have seen a boat (with a Pirates flag) and a group of little kids. It's so funny, I was looking at the photo, and I knew EXACTLY where it was, but could not figure out why the coffin was there--took me a minute to remember!

Ahhh, that makes sense. I've seen the pirate boat but not the coffin.

Stopher - Go get 'em! . As others have already said I think sadly courtesy is not a word in many people's vocabulary, but here's hoping that all your future clients will treat you with the same level of respect that you show them.

Okay, that makes sense. If the coffin hadn't been in the picture, I would have guessed it right away but having never seen it I figured it must be some other waterway. Eliza...that was a tricky one!

Stopher...hang in there. The good news I gleaned from your comments was the relatively quick "in the black" timetable you anticipate for your business. Best of luck!

Common courtesy is becoming a rarity in our society. Foul language (really vulgar) in front of women and children is one of my pet peeves. But we are becoming a Facebook society where things like etiquette and propriety are forgotten relics of the past.

Okay, old guy getting off the soap box now.

Pulling the thread back on topic for a moment....a few pix to get us all in our happy place.

Ahhh...much better!

Wah. So sad.

Thanks for the quick save Granny!

Yes, I was! We did Animal Kingdom yesterday so I had lunch at Yak n Yeti. Then dinner at Jiko. It was a great birthday! Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. We are just about packed up and ready to head out for lunch and shopping at the warehouse in Winter Garden for Disney stuff. Then I'm not sure exactly what for the rest of the afternoon before we fly out tonight. I'll have to catch up later on this thread.

Someone asked about the Disney warehouse. Beware, it may cost you lots of $ if you go there! It is the Theme Park Connection warehouse.

http://www.themeparkconnection.com/storeinfo.html He is also an ebay dealer. There is so much cool stuff here that it is dangerous to visit if you are a Disney fan. When we stopped in December and January there was a Haunted Mansion plaque that I wanted. I finally decided to get it for my birthday and it was gone from the wall! Had just been sold. But there was a second one in the back storeroom that I was able to buy. I will now have an original plaque from the Haunted Mansion, one of only two out there, hanging on my front door to my home. Dynaguy was a bit worried about the cost and having it out in the open but I said that no one would suspect that it is an original from the real Haunted Mansion. I am willing to risk it.

I don't have a picture of mine yet as it is still in the mail to me but it looks like this one, just bigger. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Haunted-Man...379?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2515ca83

It's one of the best birthday gifts ever!

Top of the day to all me wee Groupie friends!

Looks like a little Irish luck was smiling down on me yesterday, as I was offered (and I accepted) a full time job! I've been looking for the better part of two years and am very excited to get back into the corporate world. My work will be in marketing, where I spent my career with my previous company.

So Erin go Bragh, 'tis a fine day indeed! Thanks for letting me share my news.

I'm catching up on the thread and found this post. Congratulations!!! I've been out for almost 2 1/2 years and really do need to get back to work one of these days. My problem is that I'm enjoying NOT working too much. I actually have to spend time looking for a job to get one. I know that looking for a job is a full time job in itself. You made the effort and deserve the reward. Congrats again!

That is so very awesome Ink! Being the major HM fan I am... I am definitely a bit green this morning.

You can be a little less green. I did more research on ebay for the plaque that sold before mine from the same dealer and it says there that the plaques are original Disney but were NOT ever displayed. I'm a bit disappointed that they are original but never actually hung in the park. Especially since the woman at the shop told me in answer to my question that the plaque had hung in WDW at the HM. Still, I love the plaque and will enjoy having it at my front door!

Thanks for the kind words, Inkmahm. It was a little over 2 years for me, so I know what you mean about getting used to something else. It will be strange having to go back to doing things like errands and chores in the evenings or weekends. I've been working part time the last year, but even so that gave me a lot of flexibility that I won't have going forward. My first "casualty" of the new job was not being able to go to WDW in May as we had planned. Oh well.

Don't get me wrong...I'm super thrilled to be heading to work tomorrow for my first day. But I do understand about enjoying the flexibility that not working can bring.

Hey, we won't tell anyone if you don't.

the woman at the shop told me in answer to my question that the plaque had hung in WDW at the HM

I'd stick to that story. Who's to say that the info on ebay is correct? I'd go with someone's personal assurance over internet info.

 

[Anna114]

Granny, that's just awesome! Good luck with your new job.

 

[Muushka]

Granny, thinking of you this evening and tomorrow. Hoping that you have a great first day at work.

We hope it is great. And that they appreciate you like we do.
