St Mungo's Recovery College, 33 Rushworth St (Google StreetView). |
In particular I was interested in their screenwriting course; and would have hoped, if I’d partook in it, to have gained some knowledge and insight into the process. And perhaps would have enjoyed spending time with like-minded individuals.
But, as I’ve become accustomed to, after about half-an-hour in this Rushworth St premises I realised that any creative writing abilities I might have would be severely denigrated by St Mungo’s staff and/or volunteers.
When initially entering these premise I was about to press the intercom when a lady suddenly opened the door to allow someone else to exit. Not knowing if this woman was a staff member or another customer I hesitated momentarily in expectation of an introduction or to be queried as to what I wanted, and perhaps invited to enter.

Then I went to reception and straight away I could see that I was wasting my time. The male receptionist was hostile and arrogant, an attitude the size of Everest. This ill mannered man eyed and spoke to me like a person would a wet and muddy dog that had just trodden on their newly polished floor.
I am currently doing creative writing and I can assure you that being in the company of aggressive and condescending people really downgrades any creativity I might have. I believe that any gain I might have made doing a screenwriting course in this facility would be diminished by the arrogant, offensive and patronising conduct of the staff.
What flabbergasts and irks the hell out of me is how these people at St Mungo’s can spend money printing and circulating flyers that advertise these courses and then immediately insult and abuse someone who shows up intending to enrol.
