Walking to get some lunch, I was commandeered by one of those Children's International peeps. Not being in NYC, I didn't have my usual blinders up, so I was totally suckered in. He managed to get me to sign up even though I averted my attention I blame the recent global diversity events I've worked for making my sensitivity level abnormally high. I figured the monthly fee will get me that much closer to getting diamond status on Delta. On my tax write-off receipt, he jotted down the name of 2 of the bands he's in (yup): Chimes & Banners and Ghost Ship (double yup).
After a conference calls and a couple hours of email, there's a knock on the door of my hotel room. It's a hotel guy delivering a gift...
... from the hotel's convention services manager. Now, most of you do not grasp the relationship between the hotel team and the A/V team, but we are pretty much treated like the red headed step child. The CSM may think I am on the client's team, which I kind of am part of, and now I don't know how to act when I see her. Do I thank her for the generous mistake? What do I do when she realizes that I'm with the A/V team? Is she just a very welcoming hospitable person?? I'll think it over as I enjoy the '08 Cabernet and chocolate covered strawberries.
