Okay so I just need to vent. Quick background, I am doing a MSc that is taking place in two countries (England/Netherlands). The program is run through the English uni. Anyway, this summer I was Wilderness Leader who took children out on canoe/camping trips all summer long. My access to the internet and my cell phone were limited so with that in mind, I arranged my travel arrangements before I left for the job. Now just a few weeks ago, I got an email explaining that my course is starting on the 7th instead of the 14th, even though I was told it started on the 14th and every piece of documentation says the 14th. Not a huge deal as mistakes happen and working with two unis, in two countries is difficult. I am working to rearrange my flights which is a financial penalty to me and I just got an email from the woman in charge on the Netherland's side that literally scolded me like I was a child. She even threaten to penalize me, WTF? This is their mistake, not mine and I am being scolded like a child, am having to rearrange my plans and take a financial penalty. The best part is that this is for a PR program, she should know how to communicate better, one would think. The worst part is, I can't just tell her to piss off (though that is nothing new in the world of PR) as she has all the power in this relationship. AAARRRRGGGGG!
**okay done venting and feel a tad bit better!
