Our company participates in trade shows all over the globe to help market our products. I have always joked with the Prez (code name Honey Pie) that I'd help out at a show in Vegas. Why not -I could do a day or two of smiling for a free ride there.
So Honey Pie likes my enthusiasm and said he'd make it happen. In fact he 'promised'. I still have the that email safely tucked away.
Fast forward to today,,,, I'm up at the photocopier waiting for a print out,,,,I look down and laying on top of the paper pile is an email from marketing that lists the hotel confirmation for the Vegas show. I scan down the list and guess what... yup,,, my name isn't on it. Fuck was I peeved! To think I've been ex\tra nice to staff for nothing.
I know its not Honey Pie's fault. In fact I'll be be doesn't even know as ironically he's currently at a trade show in Amsterdam. And what can I say? I don't work in marketing or sales so I really shouldn't expect to go. **sigh**
