We are not amused - Lack of Professionalism?

[volksdragon]

I had enrolled Widget in a two-day drama studio class. I'd had some mis-givings, since the webpage was a big jumble of events, and it seemed a little amateurish, but the director is known around the area, so I went and signed her up.

I got an email this morning, at 1:30am, saying that the class was cancelled due to illness, for the rest of the week.

I can understand being sick, but if you're running a class like this for multiple children, which have parents that are probably depending on their kids being taken care of so they can, oh, I don't know, FUCKING GO TO WORK OR SOMETHING, this is a pretty rotten thing to do. If you are running a program like this, YOU NEED BACKUP.

I am not amused. And now I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with my kid today or tomorrow.

i hear you loud and clear.

i'm sorry man. i've gotten stuck like that a few times too.
someone running a program during a vacation week needs to have their shiz together and have backup and more backup. people are counting on this...

Ugh. Obnoxious. Lemme know offline where/who it was so I can avoid this one in the future. BTW, sometime I wanna talk about Montessori schools with you.

We can talk Montessori. And yeah, I'll mention the person to you later.

There is one specific one to avoid, if it contains the name "educare" stay far, far away. they physically and emotionally abused my brother and I in the late 1970s and the same people are still in charge.
