  • Hey there from the new girl

    Hiya!

    my name is Kate and I am brand spanking new to customers suck. was directed here by a friend and I am already enjoying the company!

    I currently work for a large music festival in Toronto, Ontario in programming/artist relations. This means I get yelled at by artists' managers and agents about font sizing in programmes and why one band is listed before another (ummm... alphabetical order will ALWAYS put A before T, but maybe I will check out your new-fangled dictionary!) Basically I deal with asshats who think they are more important than they really are.

    I have also worked in media relations (again- where you get a lot of the "don't you know who I am?" Either yeah - I do, and you aint that special or nope, I don't and I don't give a toss)

    I've also worked in many pubs and restaurants, worked as a cashier, front desk/staff supervisor at a recreation centre... All this means is I have had to deal with customers/clients etc in many different forms and have quite a few stories to tell and I enjoy reading everyone elses stories as well. At least it lets me know that I am not alone!

    Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all better as I start exploring this fabulous site a bit more!

    And sorry for the disjointed crazy rambling style of my post. Work is getting pretty crazy which means running on no sleep - so I many start babbling incoherently... just smack the back of my head and send me on my way - i'll straighten out eventually!

    cheers!

      Let's put it this way - I keep a couple days worth of clothes in my desk!

      Our official kick off is next Wednesday but we have shows all over town as "advertisement" so plenty of parks, clubs, squares, airport terminals, subway stations etc have bands playing at lunch time etc.


      I'm so glad I found this place - it's a nice little sanctuary from the insanity going on around me right now lol.
      My hubby will be happy when I finally return to the land of the living :P

        I imagine your hubby will be happy you have someone other than him as a sounding board, too.
