The performance was done for an elegant wedding at the Midas Cafe and told that I have to get the fee on Monday being a working day for it was handled by the purchasing department of Midas Hotel knowing that we would be paid that same night but dismay befell me and what can I do but to come back for our minimal fee as wedding musicians.

 

Then, Monday came and went to claim our fee coming from afar just to settle but it was so frustrating being told that the check had to be prepared. Before hand, I was told that they would pay as in cash. I spitted my dismay that for a small amount they have to make hard for us musicians to claim what was due us. I couldn’t do more so went home feeling disgusted.

 

Then on, I kept following if the check was ready but it had to be signed yet and the signatories were still busy. That fair reasoning annoyed me that much but still gained my composure.

 

I waited until Friday because I was told it would be ready by then. Reaching the accounting department I went to claim my check but it was named Augustine Music and Events instead of Mario Lupato which I told them to put, so I could not encash it because my bank account name is Mario Lupato. I asked the lady who attended me if there was a way for me to have it in my name and said that I have to wait until Friday. I suggested that they type my name above Augustine Music and Events but she argued that signatories still were needed and they have to wait for them to do sign.

 

I didn’t leave yet thinking there might be another solution to this. The lady didn’t even bother to let me sit and kept answering the phone never paying attention to my dilemma. Then, once again told me that they couldn’t do anything. Maybe, the chief accountant felt that I wanted to settle this problem that same day and went to the cashier department if something to be done. At least, she had little understanding rather than the other lady.

 

With the help of JOANNE, I happened to ask her name, to give me the cash instead. Without her I would be troubling following up our talent fee again and again. When she said to pay me cash instead, my trouble was over.

 

I WANT TO THANK HER THROUGH THIS BLOG FOR SHE IS A PERSON WHO UNDERTSTANDS SOMEONE’S TROUBLE.

 

TO YOU JOANNE, FROM MIDAS HOTEL ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT, THANK YOU SO MUCH AND MAY THE BEST IN LIFE BE YOURS.
