Speaker 1: So can we like leave the series pass agg voices.
Speaker 1: In two, I was at a hotel with my daughter.
Speaker 1: I gave her fifth She said, can I go down
Speaker 1: to the arcade. I said yes, so I gave her
Speaker 1: fifty dollars and said, broomy change. I said us ten
Speaker 1: dollars because she wanted to get played ten dollars on
Speaker 1: the machines and the machine said it took you know,
Speaker 1: up to a hundred dollars and denominations and money, and
Speaker 1: instead of giving her money on the car, it just
Speaker 1: ate her fifty dollars. And she went to the front
Speaker 1: desk and she knows this voice like she's calls it
Speaker 1: the past ac voice. And she went to the front
Speaker 1: desk and told them what happened, and they said, yeah,
Speaker 1: unfortunately the concession people are the gaming people aren't here
Speaker 1: and we were checking out the next morning, and it
Speaker 1: was like, but we will definitely escalate this matter her
Speaker 1: and make it, you know. And she came back and
Speaker 1: she was like, we don't have the fifty dollars and
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you mean my fifty? You just
Speaker 1: lost fifty dollars. She's like they they, you know, couldn't
Speaker 1: help us. So I went back to the desk, and
Speaker 1: it's not what the person is saying. The person can say,
Speaker 1: I can't just open up a drawer and give you
Speaker 1: fifty dollars. I don't have it. It's not that they
Speaker 1: didn't say here's fifty dollars, it's the way that things
Speaker 1: are said. So the woman is like, yeah, um, that's
Speaker 1: a different part of the hotel that's arcade and gaming,
Speaker 1: and there's nothing I can really do. I'll have to
Speaker 1: send an email to corporate and speak to a supervisor
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they'll put it on the top of
Speaker 1: their priority. Like but you know, if I'm behind the desk,
Speaker 1: I would have said, wow, okay, So this is what
Speaker 1: I'll try to do. I'm gonna talk to a manager
Speaker 1: and we'll call you in your room and we'll try
Speaker 1: to figure out either a credit or can we credit
Speaker 1: your hotel room? Just something place. Yes, but people make
Speaker 1: you feel so frustrated. It feels like they enjoy it,
Speaker 1: like yeah, you know, like and words come out that,
Speaker 1: you know, words like supervisor and we'll really have we'll
Speaker 1: really try to facilitate your dilemma or this matter, words
Speaker 1: like matter and dilemma and facilitate and um prioritize and
Speaker 1: there was another word escalate. Well, but there are just
Speaker 1: words that come out that are just like this, like
Speaker 1: past agg handbook language, you know, supervisor and let me,
Speaker 1: you know, speak to my supervisor and yeah, prioritizes a
Speaker 1: big one circle back email. It's like a cousin to
Speaker 1: douche douche corporate language that you know, I don't love,
Speaker 1: So let's just leave the past act series voice. My
Speaker 1: body was like, why did she talk to you in
Speaker 1: the voice that she sounds like Siri and burns like
Speaker 1: she sounds like she enjoyed it. Yeah, and they just
Speaker 1: look at you and it's the calm. Someone remains super calm,
Speaker 1: like there's nothing urgent about anything that's happening at this time,
Speaker 1: just like, yes, I see, I understand. Yeah, okay, we'll
Speaker 1: do our very best because we're Hallmark and when we
Speaker 1: care enough to send the very best. It's just something
Speaker 1: about it. It's like people want to get you fucking enraged.
Speaker 1: People want to get you enraged. You're just gonna go crazy.
Speaker 1: But I don't take the babe. I'm just like, okay,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. By the way, the way to
Speaker 1: out the way to pass, the way to deal with
Speaker 1: someone being past ages out past Agham, no problem. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, yes, wonderful. That's lovely, big low e daisy
Speaker 1: like words are so passive aggressive. That's delightful. Thank you kindly,
Speaker 1: best regards. So I UM had a medical procedure scheduled,
Speaker 1: and my daughter said, but Mama, that's the night of
Speaker 1: my concert, my school concert. And I said, oh okay.
Speaker 1: And I made a rule years ago when I was
Speaker 1: first separated, that I wouldn't miss school activities. I just
Speaker 1: really really under very very rare circumstances where I guess
Speaker 1: the school planned something a week or two before you're
Speaker 1: coming into their school. I remember one time to view
Speaker 1: their like bird project, or one time they were making pickles,
Speaker 1: you know, and one of them I missed, And then
Speaker 1: I was so ornery about it that I asked a
Speaker 1: teacher if I could do a private walk through to
Speaker 1: see Burn's project with her. UM. But you know, it's
Speaker 1: meaningful to them that we come to these things, just
Speaker 1: that they know that you're there. It's it's just knowing
Speaker 1: that you're there. But what a scam. So I go
Speaker 1: to my daughter's concert and this is no one's fault.
Speaker 1: I drive, you know, an hour to get there, and
Speaker 1: I walk in and like you're dropping for see, it's
Speaker 1: it's packed. And I get my seat and I can't
Speaker 1: find her. It's commute, it's like to catch a predator.
Speaker 1: I'm looking out. I can't see anything. I can't see
Speaker 1: her in the sea of kids in the musical uh instrument,
Speaker 1: giant crowd with the chorus, and I I don't I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss it. And then so I see one
Speaker 1: of her friends and then they say she's sitting in
Speaker 1: the front because I guess she hasn't gone up yet.
Speaker 1: Now we're watching another grade that's up, so watching the
Speaker 1: other grade, and then our kids go up, and then
Speaker 1: she is. I can't see her, like she's behind. She's
Speaker 1: like the third rose, so she's behind, and she's probably
Speaker 1: behind like the teacher or tuba like she I can't
Speaker 1: really see her. So the friend next to me says, oh,
Speaker 1: I think that's her. She has the blue dress. Thank god,
Speaker 1: she was wearing a blue dress. Tell your kids to
Speaker 1: wear bright like like neon orange yellow day glow, bright
Speaker 1: royal blue collars. Because I could see her legs. So
Speaker 1: I saw her leg I don't know. I know that
Speaker 1: she plays the flute because I've heard her at home,
Speaker 1: but she could play the banjo or like literally the
Speaker 1: harmonica for all I know. Because I didn't see anything.
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything. I didn't see her. I don't
Speaker 1: know that she saw me. Then she's over, so I'm
Speaker 1: walking out of the audience. Other parents, I guess they're staying.
Speaker 1: They have other kids there. Some people are leaving like
Speaker 1: it's she's done, so they come off the stage. So
Speaker 1: now she's sitting in the front and I go up
Speaker 1: and I, you know, see her embarrassing her of course,
Speaker 1: like campering flowers would be a loser or anything. I'm
Speaker 1: the worst of these events. I said, I love you,
Speaker 1: and she said I stay, Mama, stay okay. So now
Speaker 1: I go in the in the boels of the school building.
Speaker 1: I'm just standing there and it's another hour easy, so
Speaker 1: I'm listening to music. I'm on my phone, and then
Speaker 1: I see it. They come out and I see her
Speaker 1: come walk past them so excited, like it's like seeing
Speaker 1: the Beatles backstage, like I saw a I got eyes
Speaker 1: on her whisks by me like she doesn't even know me.
Speaker 1: I asked somebody else, where's everyone going. They said, oh,
Speaker 1: they're going to put their instruments away. I'm like, oh, okay, great.
Speaker 1: I never see her again. Okay, like she could have
Speaker 1: been missing at that point. So I'm like, wait, I
Speaker 1: just it was twenty minutes later. I thought she's in there.
Speaker 1: Maybe she's putting the music paper away, maybe they're getting organized,
Speaker 1: maybe they got a pep talk. I don't know. So
Speaker 1: now I'm standing. So now I'm like three hours into
Speaker 1: this thing. I've seen her knee and and and a
Speaker 1: like a tiny piece of blue cloth, and so she
Speaker 1: never comes back. So finally, after such an eternity, I'm
Speaker 1: waiting in the hall, other people's kids are coming up.
Speaker 1: She walks a, Mama, where were you are you talking about?
Speaker 1: She because everyone's out, all the parents outside of because
Speaker 1: a lot of parents in here. You you said to
Speaker 1: wait right here, you would going to put your instrument away.
Speaker 1: I never saw you again. So then we walk outside
Speaker 1: and we and she's like, okay, bye bye, Mama. I'm I, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand. I feel like, leave money
Speaker 1: on the bedside. I was there for I saw nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing happened, Like what why what and then an hour home.
Speaker 1: It was literally three and a half hours. And I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just say I don't understand. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Did someone send someone to rob my house? This is
Speaker 1: the value of going there. I don't know. I'm like, Brian,
Speaker 1: I could have taken you to Paris for lunch, like
Speaker 1: I could have had oh Ma kase sushi. But you know,
Speaker 1: we support our kids and it's them knowing we're there,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's half a scam. And literally
Speaker 1: couldn't have picked her out of a line up up
Speaker 1: there no idea. I could have been York, could have
Speaker 1: been someone else's kid, have no idea. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: if somebod who works with me every time you call
Speaker 1: it says this person has a voicemail that has not
Speaker 1: been set up yet? What? What? Like? Why? You know?
Speaker 1: People who are just so like clueless about technology And
Speaker 1: I'm not good at it, believe me so when I'm
Speaker 1: saying this, it's scary. But people who really are just
Speaker 1: not great at technology. This is a person that I
Speaker 1: will text something and then say like we really should
Speaker 1: discuss that, and then they'll pick up the phone go, Hi,
Speaker 1: we what I'm confused. I'm like, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Just look up three three little bubble texts. It's right there.
Speaker 1: Oh so scrolling up, like, yeah, yeah, it was just
Speaker 1: something we just mentioned a couple of and then and
Speaker 1: then this person will email me something at four two
Speaker 1: and four four. I picked up the phone like, Hi, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Wait what what I'm so, I'm
Speaker 1: just kidda, what's We're confused? I'm like, but the email
Speaker 1: you just sent me right now, I haven't spoken to
Speaker 1: a corresponden to you since then. I'm calling you to
Speaker 1: say yes, I agree. Just some people are tech challenge
Speaker 1: Those are the people who you know, have phones that
Speaker 1: don't line up with everybody else's. It's always coming up
Speaker 1: green on your phone. They always have like a phone
