Blood center are like telemarketers

Bellevue, College, Random Crap January 17th, 2008

This has begun to get irritating.

The Pudget Sound blood center just called me 3 times within an hour. I didn’t recognize the number so i ignored it the first two times, expecting them to leave a message. They didn’t so the third time I figured it was important and answered it.

I pick up the phone and they say they’re from the blood center. I do my usual answer and say that I’m not there and take their number.

I’m in class for fucks sake, Call once and leave a message! I’ve actually been turned off from donating because they constantly harass me with these phone calls. I like getting calls from them, but they are way too aggressive.

You know all those warnings on plastic bags that say to keep them away from kids so they don’t choke?

They should add cats to that warning.

Red Tape

Circle K, College January 7th, 2008

Classes started last week at BCC. So this meant that I had to get stuff ready for Circle K.

I made the mistake of waiting to get peoples schedules before planning out the meeting time. I didn’t hear back from anyone from Richard, who only said he got classes registered. So I fired off a last minute email to Rudy reserving the room at the same time as last quarter.

Luck be with me, I get a call from King after sending out an email announcing the room and time saying she and two other people can’t make it. So I end up sending out another email, in a mad scramble to figure out what was the best day for everyone. I changed the time to Tuesday and it seemed to work for most people.

At the same time I was also getting the rooms reserved for the District board meeting, yay! That was pretty simple, Rudy reserved the rooms, and I got a confirmation email about it.

Sounds easy, right? Not quite.

As soon as I got the confirmation, Nora emailed Rudy saying she never got a Project plan for it. So I went up to Student Programs to get it. She was out to lunch, so I got the paperwork from the receptionist and sit outside to fill it out. The first page makes sense, when would you like to get the room, what day, time, etc. I turn the page and suddenly it’s asking me what the budget it, what I’m spending money on, and then a timeline for getting things planned out. I’m hella confused now, as this is totally not what the meeting is for, it’s as though she thinks I’m holding an event, but it’s just a freakin’ meeting. I ignore that crap and just fill out what is relevant.

Meanwhile I’m waiting for Nora to get back from lunch, so I wait 30 minutes and go back to check if she is there, no Nora. Wait another 30 minutes and go back, no Nora. Wait another 30 minutes, no Nora. So I’m getting a bit cranky, she then pops out of nowhere when I’m about to leave and I talk to her for a little bit, turns out that we have to pay for the room reservation on the weekend and apparently there are custodial fees, which is utter BS. I give her the paperwork and leave. Later on Rudy gets the confirmation, I forward it to Helen. Then she notices that the reservations are incorrect. Rudy did it Saturday 9am-3pm, when it should be 8am-5pm. I email Rudy, he tells me to check in with Nora. I go to Nora and get that taken care of. She gives me more paperwork for food and crap. Then I found out that they never actually got the paperwork for our re-chartering last quarter. Which I did fill out. I get another copy to fill out.

I’ve now got a funding request form to fill out along with a stupid food request form to do. Grrr!
