I post, and only get to play ONE hand????

[SNOWBALL]

Hollywood park tonight.

I go to the board, and the brush points me to a game. He says "one table over" and points. I go to that table and sit. I post in between the blinds. The floor comes over, and says I'm needed in another game of the same limit, because it's short-handed. He makes me move on the next hand. I protested, and said I'd be happy to move, but wanted to play through my free hands first. He instructs the dealer to deal me out next hand and walks away...

I can see where the floor was coming from. They need to keep the games evenly balanced, and the floor didn't actually seat me at my original game. It was a mistake/misunderstanding on the part of myself and/or the brush, but I think it SUCKS that we couldn't at least compromise.

What do you guys think? Should I have made more of a fuss about it? Would your poker room handle things similarly?
