Having connections/ network does wonders! Sad but true...
Last week at the party, we got in early and obviously the room was pretty empty. We walked over to an empty table and wanted to sit down. However, one of the organizers, Mr X, came over and said that the seat's occupied,
in a strict face. bahh...okie, we'll go to the next empty table then. "oh sorry, all the tables are occupied for the night."
huh?? by who? "it's reserved, i'm sorry."
We were not the least delighted at all. We came in early and they said all the big tables are occupied and there were so many of us. Where are we possibly gonna stand? we're so gonna look stupid by standing around so early in the night.
Then, one my colleagues caught sight of the organizers, Mr Y, whom she knew and told him that we can't get any seats. Then Mr Y immediately showed us to the big table which we originally wanted to occupy. At the same time, Mr X, showed up next to our table and after knowing where we are from, almost instantly gave
smiley face and said "of course u guys can sit here!" arrgghhh.......
how fake. but whatever, as long as we get the seats and needless to say, we enjoyed countless of free flow, when we were supposed to be entitled to one drink each. ha...
