Complaints

Funny how sometimes things come in bunches... I was out yesterday due to travel, so I missed my softball game. The de facto team captain had to scramble to find 10 players because we had so many players out. The team also played at an alternate field for whatever reason. Well I found out that last night, everyone got to the field, and the game wasn't played because the lights weren't working due to storms. I'm trying to figure out when they knew about this, because nothing was communicated to them and we had so many people show up at the field. This lack of communication has been a bit of a pattern unfortunately for Cincinnati Sports Leagues, with the latest being when we were in between seasons, we never were told what the new schedule was (or more importantly, we were skipping one week between leagues). I've written constructive emails and just called the person in charge, but I have yet to get an answer. I also asked to have a message passed on to the teams that played before our team last week so I could ask if any of them picked up an extra glove, but never got a response. I'm really close to pulling the plug, and I'm going to let them know why when I do.

And as I was finding out about this, I get a call on my cell phone from someone from the Cincinnati Pops. I think he wanted to try to sell me a season ticket package, but he just kept on rambling. I even asked, so you want me to do what? He would say "I see you went to this concert... I see there were two tickets, who did you go with?" Did you enjoy this concert that you went to? It was almost like he was trying to be creepy. I finally said no I wasn't interested in a season ticket package and I would just pick and choose concerts. He said OK, well, he wanted to tell me about something else. I think he was getting to a donation of some sort, but he kept on talking about random stuff. I looked at my cell phone, and saw that I had been on the phone for 4.5 minutes. At that point I hung up on him. Which probably wasn't a great idea since he has my address and everything, but I was getting a little perturbed. I probably will be writing the Cincinnati Pops a little complaint letter.
