Mr. Hate

WOW!!!

I Just had a conversation with maybe one of the most rude and defensive people I have ever met! He is Curator/Director, Rodman Hall. Now newly owned by Brock university.

As mentioned earlier in my blog, Rodman Hall was to be the location of our ceremony for our wedding, That we were just waiting on some policy changes in order to book the grounds. Well we have been given quite a run around right up until Tuesday when I finally got in contact with the lady who books these things.Who then told me, their new policy does not allow any sort of entertaining like this. I was a little rattled by it, But saw it coming because of all the run around. Yes it's disappointing to loose a wedding space, It ALWAYS is. I did ask this lady to see what she could do as I was told I was penciled in for May 14th, and people have taken my phone number all summer and I was told I would be called back... I never was.

This morning this nice lady called me back to tell me that it was a no go. She spoke with those in charge, and it wasn't going to happen. I let her know how disappointing it was, because everyone all summer kept telling me that it was possible.

I Asked to speak to the Curator/ Director to at least explain to him some of the administrative problems I delt with. Not to complain about any one person, but the Just in general messy way things were delt with and how I was lost through all their mess.

This is where The Curator's bad side came out. He answered the phone immediately explaining why a wedding could not be held. and I couldn't get a word in edge wise to say, I KNOW I can't have a wedding there, I would just like to explain to you what happened this summer so you could do something about it.

I Started my story about how I met him back near the end of may or the beginning of June, and he immediately got defensive again saying how he has never met me. I Know I have met him, He even gave me his card. I still have it somewhere.

As I continued to try to explain the administrative blunders of the summer, he continued to not listen and be defensive. He came out with phrases Like " I brought this place out of financial ruin" that " You could sue me for all I care" that he is a "Very busy man" and talking to me is "A waste of my time" He said "I'm about ready to hang up on you"

WOW... this is a man with major communication problems. I by the end of the phone conversation had asked for his superiors phone number. He then got more defensive and called me a few derogatory names, I ignored them by just repeating over and over "please just give me the number to your superior ... Please just give me the number to your superior..." About 10 -12 times. He finally told me to go look it up myself but not quite as nicely as that. I did, I've lodged my official complaint with the secretary to the Dean of humanities.The Dean is his Superior.

I tell you, If I was his boss, He would be going to Anger Management classes, and comunication classes.... Infact I don't know why I would be his boss, I hope I wouldn't have hired him in the first place. But he is a Brock employee, probably hired by some comitee.

I don't wish this mans bitterness on anyone.

Well the search for a Ceremony location continues again....

P.S. The spell check on blogger wanted to turn The Curators name into Mr. Hate , That made me giggle, as that is somehow apropriate... he he he! That is how I guess i might refer to him on here.
