Frustrated!

I had an appointment this afternoon to pick up my donation cards from the Little Shelter, they were ready 2 weeks ago but last weekend they weren't available to let me come in so I had to wait until now. So I go to pick them up and the woman said to make sure it was our names on it, and it was.

So I go back to my car and really read through the card, which started off to the effect of 'In honor of their wedding guests, Alexandra and Alexios have generously donated to the Little Shelter...'

Then a big paragraph about the shelter.

Then bottom line:

'We would like to wish Angela and Joseph best of luck in the future.'

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. Clearly the last couple that had made a donation favor, and they didn't change the template. You would think before running off 150+ you would proofread???

So I had to go back in and make the correction and now supposedly they're going to call the woman back to redo them, and i'll get called when they're ready, but they were all discombobulated so I'm going to have to make sure it actually gets done. Revolved my whole day around it, ugh. Luckily it's on the way to FH's, but a little off the beaten path, so FMIL offered to get them for me when they're done the next time since much closer to them.

I just don't get it though. Like almost nothing has gone off without a hitch...do people just not care or check their work anymore?

Eeek! That's a big mistake! But think about it...they're in the business of taking care of animals not printing cards for donations. I'm sure someone just quickly glanced it over before going back to something very hectic there!

Yikes ... good thing you looked them over before you left! I can't believe they couldn't even just look at the cards before printing up so many. Ugh, what a PITA.

I can totally feel your pain! DH had the song for his mother-son dance put on CD for his mom w/ our names & wedding date & a pic of his mom & him as a baby...it should have read:
Thomas & Laurie 8-8-09
& it came back Stacey & Joseph 9-6-09....


I would have 'maybe' understood the wrong names, but the wrong names AND date??...ARGH! Thank goodness DH did this enough in advance to get it corrected in time!

Oh of course, I don't mean to detract from all the good they do at all. Just frustrating because the woman who does them called me from her home and we spoke for a while on the phone too, and it was still wrong even after all of that. Sigh.
