amycooperApparently the microfilm machine vendor is coming today. Arriving soon.
She is the single most annoying vendor I have ever dealt with. She shows up with little to no notice and insists you drop everything and listen to her. Last time she was here, she had dropped by without notice because "I happened to be in the neighborhood" and kept insisting on doing her sales pitch even though we told her we had a large event happening in ten minutes and said we can't speak now. In the end, we ignored her as well all prepared for the event (with her still trailing us). She left when the freshmen came in en masse only to go to the public library and harass the library director there, who was trying to do story hour for the kids.
Sadly our microfilm reader broke and she's tagging along with the repairman.
She actually beats the vendor on the phone that tried to threaten me with a faculty member he misgendered (and how I am friends with) and the one EBSCO VP who kept trying to tell me how to do my job.
I really don't need to deal with her today.

I hope the microfilm machine is working well again, and that the vendor left without too much hassle. I wonder if her employer knows how much customer ill-will she's generating?
