Dissatisfaction for Beginners
February 23rd 2008 04:06
"Why can't I have a copy of all your notes?" she asked, poking a long bony finger at my folder.
This morning I taught a 3 hour workshop in Personal Astrology. My main form of income comes from teaching at Neighbourhood and Community Houses in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. I teach things like palmistry, astrology, tarot, and creative writing.
Students pay a nominal fee to attend. In this case, $20 for 3 hours. Not bad really. All students received 10 pages of student notes, and were free to make whatever notes they wished as I spoke.
This woman was not happy, no matter how often she interrupted and asked questions about her personal astrology chart. She was not interested in anyone else, nor did she wish my attention anywhere but on her.
Finally, after three hours, she said she was mightily dissatisfied. She wanted a copy of all my teaching notes. I said no. She threw a large tantrum when I said my notes were my intellectual property.
I strongly suspect a lot of Fire in her chart. In fact, I know there was a lot of Fire in her chart, because I had to look at her chart many, many times.
I am a tolerant person. My job involves bringing together disparate groups of people and keeping their attention for several hours. I am skilled at handling 'difficult people'.
But this woman..... I suppose it IS against the law to shoot her.
I pray she doesn't turn up in my Palmistry workshop next month.
For $20 she sure wanted a lot.
