I've dealt with many worse situations, the thing that bugged me about her was this was personal and trying to make me feel as if I had done something wrong...just pissed me off like no other! Nah, no need to ban her, it did not go that far but I know I will never let someone like that get under my skin again, so not worth it.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-12759429030951821222009-06-17T06:17:20.919-07:002009-06-17T06:17:20.919-07:00I feel for you, Sam.

There comes a time when no amount of business is worth the hassle, angst and/or pride swallowing.

I already have my chill working and I'm going to, (if it comes up) refuse to talk about it any further. Question about wine or cheese, no problemo but any discussions about me and they way I feel about something, are off the table, not what I'm being paid to do and none of her business. That chick is so not worth getting upset about...if that plan fails, Ron I'll meet you on a train!<br /><br />Thanks again for all the support everyone....who says blogging is lonley?!Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-3288041800270941032009-06-12T19:25:26.096-07:002009-06-12T19:25:26.096-07:00unbelievable.

Then why are you all up in my grill?"<br /><br />I've never worked wine retail, but have plenty of experience in other retail categories. I've been yelled at, threatened with lawsuits, threatened with arrest, nearly run over in the parking lot... And for a while, a big chunk of my job involved designing wedding invitations and programs, which opened up a level of abuse that would be considered war crimes by most civilized nations. <br /><br />I hear ya, I feel your pain, and hope that the cocktails or wines of choice tonight let you go to sleep without heartburn. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-65872994819982600912009-06-12T18:28:18.909-07:002009-06-12T18:28:18.909-07:00Crazy hoe bag.

We'll never get caught.<br /><br />They are, in fact, love bites, my dear. (And how I wanted to be that guy who comforted you at the wine shop!) But sixteen missed free throws, umpteen turnovers, and failure to commit a two-shot foul on the play that led to Fisher's tying three, that's not giving the game away? I can't recall a much bigger choke, unless you count Parker's rant about bloggers. Or Linda Lovelace.<br /><br />I very much want the Lakers to win just for YOU on Sunday. Drink something fantastic, wear something sexy, party all night!<br /><br />Love,<br />Your HoseMasterRon Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-89350260913809367312009-06-12T15:52:39.118-07:002009-06-12T15:52:39.118-07:00Ron,

I even kept saying, "Well we just disagree" but she would not let up until I like admitted that I was wrong to be upset, I was not going to do it and she honestly had no business trying to make me. Like I said, work shit...I can deal with but you get up in my personal and we are going to have problems. So on this one, I'm gonna go with the "just shoot her approach"<br /><br />The Magic gave it to them?! Pah-lease!! Tell that to D. Fish partner! I thought it was a great game, nerve wracking but still great, cannot wait for sunday, SUnday, SUNDAY. It is because I too adore you that I tolerate these horribly nasty Lakers comments...feels more like love bites.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-31115929707413502392009-06-12T15:07:29.774-07:002009-06-12T15:07:29.774-07:00Hey Gorgeous,
I've been in all of those situa...Hey Gorgeous,<br /><br />I've been in all of those situations, and more than once. I wouldn't dream of criticizing your reactions. I wasn't there. As an employee of the store you're sort of trapped. But not really. <br /><br />When you lose your temper you lose the high ground, and suddenly you're in the muck with this woman, a position you won't ever recover from. You had the crowd on your side. Use it. Look her right in the eye and say quietly and firmly, "You are making a fool of yourself, embarrassing your friends, spoiling the good time of everyone else at the tasting, and I strongly suggest you stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and then apologize." Say something like that, then turn your back on her and do not speak to her for at least twenty minutes, no matter what she says.<br /><br />If that doesn't work, shoot her.<br /><br />Your Lakers were lucky. They didn't win that game, Orlando gave it to them. But that's sports. It's all over now but for the victory parade in downtown LA. The good news? Basketball season is almost over!<br /><br />More Good News? I adore you.<br /><br />Your HoseMasterRon Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.com
