Please and Thank You

You know what I hate? When I am perfectly polite curious young woman asking a reasonable question, met with a spiteful response. You see, for a while I have been making plans. Not evil plans. Just plans that involve a CD of my singing that might be sent to agents. Crazy, I know. But I need some type of project, whether it be performing or recording.
So being the new assertive college girl I am, I nicely asked a woman (not a random on the street, the person I was supposed to ask) about recording opportunities here at school. And I was met with an icy cold stare and, for lack of a better word, snappy tone. A bit condescending, actually. I wanted to say, "Hey, lady leave your grumpy caffeinated attitude on your breakfast plate!"
Evidently, I was hungry. Regardless, I just smiled like the nice person I am and said "Thank you." 
I don't respond to bitterness with bitterness which is hard because I am only human. I guess this office woman could have been having a crappy day but honestly she didn't have to spread that crappiness to me. 

So no, I can't record a CD that may be the key to a voice-over career here on campus. That does not mean it won't happen. I'll wait till I get home. All I know now is that lady needs to listen to a good show tune. :P

  1. If this was a lady at S., then ask to see her supervisor, write a letter to the president, do something to achieve your goal. Being nice doesn't always work . . .
