why today sucks no matter how fun it was
so we had an event today, which went well, and was really interesting. However: last time we cosponsored an event with the people we cosponsored with today, the head of the org sent me a bunch of stuff the morning of the event and ordered me to print it out basically, which i talked to my laoban about, and she said 'fine, do it, but tell her no next time" so I did. Me. I confronted her IN PERSON, and said that next time, we would not be printing those out since we don't do them for talks like this, like, ever. And she was unhappy, and argued, and said that "ti's what cosponsoring means" while i said "we pay for everything, including the food and the honorarium and the lunch, the clean-up, the space..." so no. So she sends me an email yesterday when asking for our RSVP list, and says "In policy circles, it's a bit unprofessional" to not do what i was refusing to do. This, of course, made me angry. but i replied politely. So i've seen her twice since the original confrontation. she hasn't spoken to me since. i'm kind of proud of that.
plus, when i came in this morning, josh looks at me and says "are you ok?" and i'm like "UHHHH I"M FINE" because i'm not going to say, well, it's the first day of my period, so i've got killer cramps and my whole body feels achy and slow. so yeah, the talk was fun. but doing an event while having cramps? unpleasant.
