Today has been an interesting day. let me tell you what has happened. I need to vent my frustrations and worries.
Yesterday after the EMS meeting, Charlene, Andrew and I went to the main office to check on the state of our equpiment. We were in for a surprise when we discovered that it was not in the office along with 2 other blankets! Something was wrong, the only people that had them before were Maria and Cindy when they went to Camp White Pine about 2 weeks ago. According to Charlene, Cindy has mentioned that they returned the equipment. I was extremely frustrated with this. We can't have equipment running away since if we had an emergency we would have to go into the office to get supplies that weren't in existence. I thought I saw something like our equipment bag in Chaplaincy; however, I may be mistaken since it could have been any old blue bag. So I thought nothing of it. I went over to Charlene's house and we started discussing Maria's irresponsibilties. I wasn't exactly blaming her for this at that point but she just came up since I saw her taking the bag on the Thursday. I was apprehensive about that since something could have come up with her and she might not make it and then there was nothing to send with Cindy to CWP and she was worried that the office might not be open at 7:15 even though I know that it was. But her worry for it was understandable. I let it go although I was a bit miffed about it. Then again what can I do right? Nothing. So i was telling Charlene that I noticed that Maria was not wearing her EMS uniform shirt at all the week before when she was on duty. Something that we ask all people on duty to do. Just so that your teachers are aware that you are on duty and not to gve you a hard time about the radios that we have. But again I let it go. I remember the year before she would wear her EMS shirt just so she wouldn't get caught with a non-uniform shirt in my second period class. Which basically meant that I saw her put it on and take it off at the beginning and end of class and I knew she wasn't on duty that week. But I said nothing. Anyways, this morning I was in chaplaincy and there was Maria working on her Cellular Respiration project and I asked her if she knew where the equipment she took to CWP was since we couldn't find it the night before. She said oh it's right over here in Chaplaincy. Would you like me to return it? [EXCUSE ME! I mean HELLO, what is the equpiment doing in there in the first place? I mean what if we needed it? There's no way anyone but her would have known where it was. I mean I was tempted to tell her. No keep it there so we can look like a stupid irresponsible team when an emergency comes up. But i held my tongue] So I told her if she could to do it. And she returned it. Thankfully. *rolls her eyes* So I went to class and I was telling Danielle more about the situation and she agreed with me about her irresponsibility. Later in Biology class, I was still frustrated so I talked to Jenny about this problem but I didn't mention any names since I didn't want everyone to know who it was. And I have to admit I probably shouldn't have said anything in the middle of my class but I just had to tell someone! Understandable in my opinion, but also wrong morally. But anyways, Rupa overheard and she told Maria later on in the day. So Maria found out and told Kathryn who wasn't supposed to tell me that she felt I backstabbed her and that I wasn't her friend anymore. *cough cough* Fine by me, I kinda stopped being her friend ages ago, but whatever. Now I know it was unreasonable on my part to gossip about it, but I doubt I'm completely in the wrong here. I mean she was the one who was more irresponsible then I was.
*sigh* I don't mind her being mad at me, but it's not like I completely backstabbed her anyways right? Or am I just overanalyzing this?
maria,
