So can we like leave the series pass agg voices. In two, I was at a hotel with my daughter. I gave her fifth She said, can I go down to the arcade. I said yes, so I gave her fifty dollars and said, broomy change. I said us ten dollars because she wanted to get played ten dollars on the machines and the machine said it took you know, up to a hundred dollars and denominations and money, and instead of giving her money on the car, it just
ate her fifty dollars. And she went to the front desk and she knows this voice like she's calls it the past ac voice. And she went to the front desk and told them what happened, and they said, yeah, unfortunately the concession people are the gaming people aren't here and we were checking out the next morning, and it was like, but we will definitely escalate this matter her and make it, you know. And she came back and she was like, we don't have the fifty dollars and
I'm like, what do you mean my fifty? You just lost fifty dollars. She's like they they, you know, couldn't help us. So I went back to the desk, and it's not what the person is saying. The person can say, I can't just open up a drawer and give you fifty dollars. I don't have it. It's not that they didn't say here's fifty dollars, it's the way that things are said. So the woman is like, yeah, um, that's a different part of the hotel that's arcade and gaming,
and there's nothing I can really do. I'll have to send an email to corporate and speak to a supervisor and I'm sure they'll put it on the top of their priority. Like but you know, if I'm behind the desk, I would have said, wow, okay, So this is what I'll try to do. I'm gonna talk to a manager and we'll call you in your room and we'll try to figure out either a credit or can we credit your hotel room? Just something place. Yes, but people make
you feel so frustrated. It feels like they enjoy it, like yeah, you know, like and words come out that, you know, words like supervisor and we'll really have we'll really try to facilitate your dilemma or this matter, words like matter and dilemma and facilitate and um prioritize and
there was another word escalate. Well, but there are just words that come out that are just like this, like past agg handbook language, you know, supervisor and let me, you know, speak to my supervisor and yeah, prioritizes a big one circle back email. It's like a cousin to douche douche corporate language that you know, I don't love, So let's just leave the past act series voice. My body was like, why did she talk to you in the voice that she sounds like Siri and burns like
she sounds like she enjoyed it. Yeah, and they just look at you and it's the calm. Someone remains super calm, like there's nothing urgent about anything that's happening at this time, just like, yes, I see, I understand. Yeah, okay, we'll do our very best because we're Hallmark and when we care enough to send the very best. It's just something about it. It's like people want to get you fucking enraged. People want to get you enraged. You're just gonna go crazy.
But I don't take the babe. I'm just like, okay, thank you so much. By the way, the way to out the way to pass, the way to deal with someone being past ages out past Agham, no problem. Oh yeah, of course, yes, wonderful. That's lovely, big low e daisy like words are so passive aggressive. That's delightful. Thank you kindly, best regards. So I UM had a medical procedure scheduled, and my daughter said, but Mama, that's the night of my concert, my school concert. And I said, oh okay.
And I made a rule years ago when I was first separated, that I wouldn't miss school activities. I just really really under very very rare circumstances where I guess the school planned something a week or two before you're coming into their school. I remember one time to view their like bird project, or one time they were making pickles, you know, and one of them I missed, And then I was so ornery about it that I asked a teacher if I could do a private walk through to
see Burn's project with her. UM. But you know, it's meaningful to them that we come to these things, just that they know that you're there. It's it's just knowing that you're there. But what a scam. So I go to my daughter's concert and this is no one's fault. I drive, you know, an hour to get there, and I walk in and like you're dropping for see, it's it's packed. And I get my seat and I can't find her. It's commute, it's like to catch a predator.
I'm looking out. I can't see anything. I can't see her in the sea of kids in the musical uh instrument, giant crowd with the chorus, and I I don't I'm nervous. I'm gonna miss it. And then so I see one of her friends and then they say she's sitting in the front because I guess she hasn't gone up yet. Now we're watching another grade that's up, so watching the other grade, and then our kids go up, and then
she is. I can't see her, like she's behind. She's like the third rose, so she's behind, and she's probably behind like the teacher or tuba like she I can't really see her. So the friend next to me says, oh, I think that's her. She has the blue dress. Thank god, she was wearing a blue dress. Tell your kids to wear bright like like neon orange yellow day glow, bright royal blue collars. Because I could see her legs. So
I saw her leg I don't know. I know that she plays the flute because I've heard her at home, but she could play the banjo or like literally the harmonica for all I know. Because I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything. I didn't see her. I don't know that she saw me. Then she's over, so I'm walking out of the audience. Other parents, I guess they're staying. They have other kids there. Some people are leaving like
it's she's done, so they come off the stage. So now she's sitting in the front and I go up and I, you know, see her embarrassing her of course, like campering flowers would be a loser or anything. I'm the worst of these events. I said, I love you, and she said I stay, Mama, stay okay. So now I go in the in the boels of the school building. I'm just standing there and it's another hour easy, so I'm listening to music. I'm on my phone, and then
I see it. They come out and I see her come walk past them so excited, like it's like seeing the Beatles backstage, like I saw a I got eyes on her whisks by me like she doesn't even know me. I asked somebody else, where's everyone going. They said, oh, they're going to put their instruments away. I'm like, oh, okay, great. I never see her again. Okay, like she could have been missing at that point. So I'm like, wait, I just it was twenty minutes later. I thought she's in there.
Maybe she's putting the music paper away, maybe they're getting organized, maybe they got a pep talk. I don't know. So now I'm standing. So now I'm like three hours into this thing. I've seen her knee and and and a like a tiny piece of blue cloth, and so she never comes back. So finally, after such an eternity, I'm waiting in the hall, other people's kids are coming up. She walks a, Mama, where were you are you talking about? She because everyone's out, all the parents outside of because
a lot of parents in here. You you said to wait right here, you would going to put your instrument away. I never saw you again. So then we walk outside and we and she's like, okay, bye bye, Mama. I'm I, oh, I don't I don't understand. I feel like, leave money on the bedside. I was there for I saw nothing, nothing happened, Like what why what and then an hour home. It was literally three and a half hours. And I don't know. It's just say I don't understand. I don't understand.
Did someone send someone to rob my house? This is the value of going there. I don't know. I'm like, Brian, I could have taken you to Paris for lunch, like I could have had oh Ma kase sushi. But you know, we support our kids and it's them knowing we're there, and it's you know, it's half a scam. And literally couldn't have picked her out of a line up up there no idea. I could have been York, could have
been someone else's kid, have no idea. Oh my god, if somebod who works with me every time you call it says this person has a voicemail that has not been set up yet? What? What? Like? Why? You know? People who are just so like clueless about technology And I'm not good at it, believe me so when I'm saying this, it's scary. But people who really are just
not great at technology. This is a person that I will text something and then say like we really should discuss that, and then they'll pick up the phone go, Hi, we what I'm confused. I'm like, what do you mean? Just look up three three little bubble texts. It's right there. Oh so scrolling up, like, yeah, yeah, it was just something we just mentioned a couple of and then and then this person will email me something at four two and four four. I picked up the phone like, Hi, yeah,
that's a great idea. Wait what what I'm so, I'm just kidda, what's We're confused? I'm like, but the email you just sent me right now, I haven't spoken to a corresponden to you since then. I'm calling you to say yes, I agree. Just some people are tech challenge Those are the people who you know, have phones that don't line up with everybody else's. It's always coming up green on your phone. They always have like a phone problem with someone else. These are these are the tech
challenge people. They're bad tech carm ros.
