Did My Consultants Fail Me When I Needed Them Most?

In summary, an experienced consultant was supposed to promote me to director, but they didn't submit the show, and now I don't know if it's even submitted. I'm disappointed and sad.

Congrats Becky!! You SO deserve it!! :sing:

I haven't been on in a while and just opened this thread so I got to read through, watching it unfold like a little mini drama. Oh, how I love happy endings! :D

Still no luck for me. Same consultant didn't submit so if that aren't 100% this month no walking for me. I thought about throwing him the 150 but figured its just not meant to be.

Yeah Becky, I can't think of someone who deserves Director more than you!I wish I would be at conference to cheer you on. I will cheer from Washington at the time of the Director walk. I hope you will be able to hear me. :)

Thank you!

I have to tell you - I lived in Columbia for several years! I went there to go to School (Columbia International University) and then stayed and worked for a couple years after college. Lots of good memories! For a couple of years I lived in a Four-plex (an old house that was converted into Apts - very pretty...high ceilings w/ all wood floors...) on Marion St. very near the Capitol Building downtown...then I moved "across the river".
