Yeah, and that was wrong of me to lose my temper. Sorry about that; it does not happen often. Ralph caught me off guard with stopping me from pulling in the van to do pickup (especially when they had stressed to us to “get out quickly” but then was preventing us from doing what we needed to do to fulfill it) but we made up a few minutes later. Ralph was in a tough position in that the organizers left him to deal with all the crap and I think he finally was fed up with everything. No hard feelings on my part.
Exactly; Tim, I watched the incident unfold and (despite my attempt at humorously pointing fingers at you here on the forum), I agree that Ralph was the instigator. You reacted pretty well, considering he lashed out at you, and considering we were just trying to do what they asked and clear out of the aisle as quickly as possible, and considering that he left his post right at the crucial time of the day, and considering that because he wasn’t there, the other guys told Evan he could pull in, and considering that you and I, being reasonably intelligent people, assumed that we could likewise pull in for 2 minutes of efficient loading, then be out of their way for the rest of the con displayers and sellers to move their stuff out. I’m glad you guys reconciled, though – I think he did snap under the pressure, but figured out that we were just trying to be efficient, and as soon as the rules were explained to us, we acquiesced (BAM, been a while since I used that vocab word!) and did what he said.
