OT - Just need to rant

inalein, 17 May, 2010 at 06:51 Posted on Planning 0 5

Sorry about this post, just need to vent so I don't start shouting at the first client that calls me. Friday I've sent out an email at my work that I will be participating in the race for life next sunday and that I would pass round the form and to please sponsor me. I came in this morning and there was 1!! person on the form sponsoring me....I'm so angry/sad, I could cry. My OH's came back with the form I gave him for his work and he raised over £80....and these people don't even know me!!!! I'm just in shock. Will pass the form round again...hopefully it was just a mistake.

No need to reply, just needed to vent!

    It is...I know there is a lot of stuff going on with charity and such...but a wee £1 even woulnd't hurt....I'll just start walking around with the form during my lunch.

    Oh and I managed to be very nice to my first client this morning hehehe.

    If you are on FB you could set up a justgiving page too. that way people can donate what they like (maybe people at work felt bad if someone has sponsored you £10 when they can only afford £5? - maybe they felt embarrased

    HTH and good luck xx

    Maybe they had no money with them or something. But if you go round with it yourself and plug it a wee bit. Good on you OH tho!! Sometimes i think it is a wee bit easier to raise money for someone else tho! is there on online sponsorship thing...cos you could post it on ere??

    All the best with it!!!

    Thanks ladies...I've calmed down now hehehe....will have a wee walkabout during lunch maybe....they all know how it works, it's not the first time a form is going about....and I don't want the money right away lol....oh well....oh yeh, online is good, but the outcome at my work would be a lot worse than on the form hehehehe...they are a forgetful lot ?

    That's a bit bad from your work, I hope you get a better response at lunchtime. I know what it's like in our office, there is a sponsor form or a collection every couple of weeks which can get a bit tedious, but I'd always put something down, especially more so on sponsor sheets!
