My day of training went well...well, I guess we'll see how well TOMORROW when I'm actually dealing with customers and trying to answer questions and finagle a Palm order thingy device and make sure they're ordering their minimum and getting the offset and...and...well, I'm just a wee bit anxious, can you tell?
I fell asleep early (before 10!) only to wake up at 2:20 thinking surely it was at LEAST 6 AM. Nope...so here I sits/lays...
My time with Best Western has not gone well. I will be changing places tomorrow. For instance now~ 3:34 AM~ there is VERY loud talking going on in the parking lot. Last night at 2:30, there was yelling...nope, I will not be trying another night. Have pleaded with Priceline to let me out of this...will not EVER get a hotel through Priceline again...sorry if you're a big fan. Seems they WILL give me a break, but I have to check one more time tomorrow. Let's all have a moment of prayer right now that they WILL let me out of this! NOT charge me for the rest of the week!!! OK...thank you.
Of course, they let me know today AFTER checkout time that it would be OK, I wouldn't be charged the rest of the week...but then when I called to confirm that I wanted to do that, the manager was off duty and they have to confirm with HER during certain hours...so I have to start the whole thing over in the morning...when I'm gonna be crazy busy...and in a building where I don't get phone service...
This place was NOT like the pictures. That's all I'm gonna say about THAT.
Grrr.
I met some very nice people today...it was very interesting to learn about the products, to hear how some companies have JUST started and have already exploded with the things they've made...love stories like that. There's a little bit of everything in the showroom (it's gifts & accessories)~ from the big commercialized companies to the little sole entrepreneur who has found crazy success with their cute little "insert awesome product here"...oh, I already have favorites. You can guarantee you will be hearing more about them!!!
There's quite a lot of information floating around in my head right now. We'll see if it all comes together tomorrow...and I haven't forgotten pictures!
Well, I'm going to attempt sleep again. Wish me luck.

Oh Lori ~ I am sooooo praying and CLAIMING they will let you out! I'm pretty sure I know where you are and YES....it's awful!! Soo sorry you are having to endure this silliness and frustration when you should be enjoying yourself! Here is hoping we will see a satisfied customer and that they have worked it out for you! I am praying for your day and all goes well with that little palm deal-y and all those minimum's. Isn't that something.....You will do and be AWESOME!!! I have total trust in that for sure!!
Love you
I have a Best Western story of my own. WORST hotel I've ever stayed in. Thank God we didn't book through Priceline and were able to escape after one night, which actually led us to a place that has become one of our favorites!
Lori,
I can honestly relate that there is nothing worse than being in a hotel that is horrible. Here is hoping that your next place will be better than this and will make you completely forget it.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
I love Market! I worked it several times with my dad who was a Graco rep at the time. Hope it went well. I know you'll be exhausted!
