I felt used

Use it to YOUR advantage... Ask her for help with a tartan day celebration. Ask her to help you promote wearing the kilts... More photo ops for her and it gives kilts more "media coverage"...

Just a thought

What Rocky said. If you felt used by her, then use her, so to speak. After all, you pay her salary.

Yeah, turn the tables around.

The Vancouver City Hall is thinking about declaring April 6th as kilts Day and she wanted some kilted folks to be presence during the proclamation.

Modern runs are very, very expensive and they have some limitations on budget sources and so on. Don't expect her to spend a night in the pub with some folks just because they are good ones. Everything on the scale of votes and attention from the public groups. This isn't her, but image makers and advisers, the best she can afford, planing such events. And if they did this they probably see potential advantage and so you suppose. You may use this or get used. You can't imagine how match you can achieve for yourself or group you might represent,if decided to go along.

Although we all know that politicians usually have their own agenda, I will still give her credit for coming out and hanging even for a little bit. You may feel a little used, but like a few people have said, try to use that to help your own agenda. Her excuse to leave so quickly may have not sounded real and could possibly have been fake, but "what if" it was a real excuse. I would just hate to see you ruin a possible valuable contact because she had to leave.

My suggestion is to shrug it off, and be happy that you are going to have some pictures in the spotlight, and call upon her later when needed. Just try not to take things too seriously. Have a pint, laugh it off, and enjoy life.

Just my two cents.

Slainte!
