The badge lady fired!

(Mhudson126) wrote in message ...
I must give credit to my director, Chip Garner. I sent an E-Mail out to all
the directors before putting the post up and Chip responded within the hour by
leaving a message on my voice mail. At this point, we have still been playing
phone tag to get a hold of each other.
Perhaps it is an emotional subject for me, as I have been working with Arleen
since I was 14 years old for badges and records. She always rememberd me, and
seemed excited for me as I achieved each goal. And now, when I finally get one
of the "Ultimates" in hand (Diamond Goal), I E-Mail with a question and nobody
answers it, I call the SSA and they give me the number to some lady I've never
heard of. Bottom line is that it's just dissapointing in this world of mail
order catalogs to loose yet another personal touch. I'm sure we'll all find
out soon what is going on.

Here is the follow up response I got from Dean Carswell. Once again,
a prompt reply which I greatly appriciate.

Mitch:

Thanks for your e-mail. For legal reasons I am unable to comment on
Arleen's departure on February 17. Effective as of that date, Judy
Ruprecht has taken over as interim 'Badge Lady', and I have no doubt
that the paperwork for your flight last weekend has been passed on to
her for processing. If you hear nothing in a reasonable space of time,
please let me know. Also, congratulations on the flight - where did
you do it?

Regards

Dean

So much for the "ask the Director" idea. I guess rumors
are what we're gonna be left with...

It would get you to this point a lot sooner. The concept is still a good
one, but even a good tactic will not work in every situation. Try
calling your director if it is important to you. A private conversation
is different than something in writing, especially if the Director knows
and trusts you. That's my experience.
