Lots of Drama - Yolanta's rant about a not always great week

We had a few 'interesting' moments this week and are really hoping that all of our shows this weekend are lots, and lots, and LOTS of fun. Our goal is to have a positive end to an otherwise not always positive week.

To finish off my Monday to Friday, I actually had a family emergency and had to cancel one of my shows. Not something that I like doing and in fact something that I've only done once in the past.

Unfortunately, the client couldn't understand that we were having a family emergency and couldn't make it. After all, we didn't do this on purpose and would have made it to the show had it been morally acceptable. Emergencies, after all, typically do no come with warnings. Even an offer (which is no longer valid) of a free show that would be arranged early next week was shot down quickly - and rudely might I add. Like I said, this was an emergency and I'm sure 99.9999% of all parents that love their children would have made the same call.

I'm really sorry for the birthday child in this situation. I wish we could have come and I hope you had fun anyway.

Everything on our end turned out ok-ish for now... thankfully... fortunately, we have a great, supportive family that Allison is now an honorary member of.

But now I'm done with ALL unpleasantness - it's going to be my new rule. So let's have a BLAST this weekend and create an awesome fun trend that EVERYONE can enjoy! Fun and learning IS why we do what we do and fun is a HUGE part of it.

So here's to awesome, fun animal shows and to great people!

PS all of our shows this week were great. I'm just not keen on some of the other 'stuff' that we've had the privilege to dealing with.
