I got a text at 11:30pm last night asking me to refer her to another consultant (again).

Didn't your director think you should have dealt with her? I would pass her off so fast!

HAHA and yes, she did tell me to deal with her. But she will never send me the checks or the orders. And I told her a few weeks ago when she asked me to refer her to another consultant that I couldn't do so in good faith because I was afraid she would do the same thing to that consultant....:yuck:
 
Oh I love it...painting her just as tight into a corner as she painted you into...or so she thought!!! And she still persists!!!:eek:Certified whack job.
 
Reading this has been better than daytome SOAPs! I am sorry that you have had to deal with this Colleen. Don't you wish there was a way to screen hostesses and you could pass on the fruit cakes with extra nuts?
