an update on my loss of faith in humanity as pertains to work:

last week a lady called to make a reservation using a gift certificate someone was buying for her. but no one had bought it yet. she was very upset that i couldn't give her credit for the certificate anyway. o...k....

this weekend a check arrives, no notation, from an organization that's name i just happen to recognize from this lady's diatribe as the one purchasing her not-yet-in-existence gift certificate.
however, with no notation, we haven't a clue what to do with it.

a harried gentleman from said organization calls today. gets me. also clearly upset, he explains to me that his organization sent us a check for a gift certificate for a mother and her special-needs child. she has complained to him that when she calls we have no knowledge of it. he can't comprehend this.

until i explain to him that his check arrived approximately 48 hours previous. with no sort of notation on it.

apologetically, he then proceeds to tell me how this lady has been hasseling him for days about this and her daughter really wants to see a puppet show. he's sorry, he just gets frustrated because they are trying to good things for these kids, etc.

he'll call her and tell her all is squared away and to call to reserve for her and her child.

she calls. she wants to use the certificate for saturday night.

"ma'am, the sahow saturday night is an adult show, strictly for ages 18 and up. is your daughter at least 18?"

"no"

"are you aware we can't sell tickets to minors for this show?"

"i am buying them. i am not a minor."

"but we won't be able to let her in the theatre."

"that's ok. she isn't coming."

the lady is a SCAM artist and using her daughter's disability to score free tickets for herself.

i felt a migraine setting in.

may karma find her and bite her so hard on the ass she bleeds.
