I had the most interesting phone call at work today.

The HR interns, other than me, were doing recruiting calls this morning. After they left, I was basically studying our products and answering any phone calls. I answer the phone right before I'm ready to be done for the day, and it is the usual: person returning a call about a position. I do my usual scripted response: these are the positions, we'd love to bring you in for an interview, yadda yadda. Most of the time, they'll tell you no, ask a few more questions, or say yes.

This was not one of those times.

The man on the other end starts yelling at me. Basically, he called just to yell at someone. He asks if I even looked at his resume. I tell him no, as I was not the person who called him. He asks why we would call him for a sales job since his experience is not in sales. I tell him a wide variety of experience translates to doing sales, but I'd be happy to take him off our list if he wasn't interested. And he continues.

Meanwhile, he called on the line thay has the phones that need to be replaced because only the speaker phone works. So the entire office hears this butt hole yelling, and there's basically silence and some horrified stares.

Finally, I tell him the most I can do is take him off our call list. At that point, I had had enough, and I hung up on him, even though he was continuing to yell. Good grief. I thought, "I offer you an interview for a job, and that's how you treat me? You sir, are an a**." The entire office was sympathetic, but boy, what a d-bag. Can't imagine what he's like to customer service people.

Seems like that man had issues of ego (aka thinking himself to be more important than he is). I mean, why would your company would waste his precious time ;)

Over a million people in downtown Cleveland for the Cavs parade today. Too many people for me! My best friend (whose office building is right on the parade route, she can watch down out their windows), she had to be at work three hours early just to make sure she could get in. We're doing the celebration in Akron tomorrow night instead.

My friend there said their office closed today because of it. She said they NEVER close...not even when they had a power outtage, but it's too crazy downtown, so they closed today. She said there were 30,000 people downtown to watch the game and that half the office called out the next day because they had been out so late the night before. Yikes.

My Sis is a block off the parade route and hemmed in on 3 sides of streets that are the official parade route. Wonder how that all went? Bonus is she flew back in from WDC last night. Can't imagine if she tried to make her way into that mess from the airport.

All I can say is that there are just so many people that are going to be able to ride that ride in any given day no matter what they have for a pass. Since those people with a FP did basically make reservations where the others, for whatever reason didn't, they need to honor the reservations first. Anyone trying to see it in it's first few days should be carefully evaluated for mental health issues anyway. That said, however, give it some time to work the bugs out, and the newness to wear off, and it will be much more able to deal with it's demand. Probably never to the happiness of everybody, but, it will be better.

Meh, some attractions are just plagued. Dwarf a good example of never working the bugs out, Test Track too. They all have issues from time to time but others it is just normal ops to be down. I tend to agree with @MinnieM123 I believe there should always be a stand by queue. Frankly I feel that same way about ADRs.

I think that there still was, but, at the time they were only taking FP people, but, others were waiting in the off chance that they were able to catch up and let others ride. Closed usually means shut down completely and no one goes in or out.

So, I'm coming to the end of a 19-year tenure at my current company as of next Thursday - downsizing is never any fun. I begin my new job on July 11. I've been blessed to have been able to work with some of the most talented and famous people in the theatre industry for nearly two decades, and I will continue this at the next company, but damn if I'm not going to miss this office, which is seriously bigger than my apartment. :(
