Need to vent a bit.
Tonight, I attended a Mentor meeting for the program I am in to transition to a new job. It is designed for older professionals to redefine careers.
The program started on Tuesday of this week, met on Wednesday and this event tonight.
The issue is that I was cornered by a person whom had to "put me in my place" because I put parking information for others on where to park at a major university in a downtown location. I took the time to drive down there to scope the situation out to make sure I made it on time. This person told me that there was no reason to send everyone to security to get parking permits when this location was open, I told her numerous times that I contacted the University and that was the instruction. Then, she went on to say that I'm not responsible for other adults, which is partially true, but I thought I would share what I have learned. My response was some adults are worse than kids on issues.
Myself, having followed the instruction of the University, got a parking pass allowing me to park close to the facility. Supposively, where she parked was close but my walk was much shorter and safer. She told me that she had done conferences there and never had to do that so I kept repeating what the University instructed. OMG.
This group, the organizers are strongly encouraging everyone to work together. We all been out of work and are stressed because of it then you add on a whole packed program full of information and involvement.
Thankful, I didn't let her walk all over me. She knew I will not take her crap.It was not professional. I was thanked by a few for investigating the parking situation. She got me when no one else was around too. It's stupid stuff like this that will hinder some relationships from growing or bonding.
Thanks for lettng me vent.
