I really try hard not to vent about shows on here. But, this has been building up and I needed to let it out, so I can bless and release....thanks!!
Bear with me here....one of my best friends, I'll call her Jane, has this friend 'Sally'. I've known 'Sally' through my friend for about 10 years or so now. Not really sure if I'd consider Sally a friend, but definitely more than an acquaintance.
So, three weeks ago I had my third show with Sally. Every single time, there has been some issue. I don't even ask her to host (because I know there will inevitably be an issue), but she continues to book and I can't really tell her no.
So, at Sally's show, she actually had a great turnout and a really good show. 5 bookings from the show!! Well, Sally has started selling jewelery and I could tell her at her PC show that she was irritated that people were booking PC shows - I kept hearing her say "well, you have to have a show with me too", over and over again.
Fast forward to today (side note: Sally's show just got resolved today), I had a show today that was a booking from Sally's show. I didn't realize that this lady was related to Sally, so Sally shows up. No big deal, show goes okay. So, I'm starting to take orders and Sally pulls out her calendar and starts being really pushy with everyone to book jewelry shows. I did get one booking for PC, but everyone was like....."well, I just said I'd have a jewelery party". Then, Sally turns to me and says "I've done three shows for you already, so when do you want to do YOUR jewelery party?".
WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT?????
I'm still kind of in shock this happened, and really irritated.
Thank you for letting me get this off my chest. I will do my best to let it go!!
