Ha ha.... good observation. I went to an Internet cafe... by the second cup- of which their latte machine wasn't working;Near the NovoTel- to PM my other appointments of my cancellation and also make my "note" as I also said I wouldn't be bringing my lap top...bsi said:Wow. What a lose/lose situation!
Francesca had enough no shows Monday morning that she bailed and was back to having Terb access by 12:59 (lunch). Yet there were 100's of e-mails and PM's looking for her services.
That's like hanging up after letting the phone ring twice!
It was probably just as well.
The lesson for the guys is that talking to SP directly if you can is the best way to book.
The lesson for Francesca is . . I guess I don't know. It is a good thing your trip was primarily for other reasons in the first place.
The hundreds of emails... was back in forth trying to book before my arrival. As I said earlier and if you read my post replying to antlerman, it was explaining why HE and many others got lost in the limbo; or why booking was difficult-not that it was impossible. The problem wasn't making the "bookings" as I felt I had quite a few great people coming. Infact, over what I would normally book to account for no-shows. I can't control what you guys do... I can only control myself.
Indeed directly contacting for the next trip, in order to book is a wonderful suggestion. Thanks-especially when I have a local number.
Me-Jack... yes at least I take accountability for my actions, in saying... that based on people NOT confirming I choose not to waste my time. There's a difference between announcing a trip and being a ding wad cancelling for other reasons... like not even making it up- or being a stunned xxxx and waiting around;meanwhile making up excuses and bullshit to cover their asses to save face on HERE! And as you said, this isn't a loss for me- I made myself available to a dried up area... and understand why it is. Difference being... there are some GREAT people; its a matter of eliminating the time wasters and spending time with equally enjoyable people...
Amazingly enough... I am a no BS type person. I could have sugar coated or not said anything in fear of being flamed and having this turned around on me; which is clearly easy to do... but keep one thing in mind- this isn't about me *laugh* it's not the boobs... and certainly not the only one who sees through the 'crap'. Either way, say what you wish... and definitely think what you will; as well. It's of no consequence to me either way.
I'm not upset by my trip- I came up for a VERY good reason... and think it was smart not to evolve myself around my appointments. It's a catch 22- if I came like others and had cancellations and no shows up the ying yang and bitched about it- in your mind, it's me. If I cancel based on the merit of others and how they choose to conduct themselves... its still me *laugh* So, what do I care? The common denominator... you, the gentlemen. Yours actions don't reflect me; however does affect and influence your ability to get girls to tour or make themselves available to this-even if they are up in the area for other reasons.
Don't knock it until you try it *wink*
Coupons, coupons coupons...(no more email's or pm's please) YES! Keep them handy. There are indeed valid for my next trip. I gave them out for a reason...
