Messy
Diane told me that I need to write since I have such an unboring journal. I guess that's good! Today was a lazy day. I did pay bills and I got the cable TV taken care of for the move. Then tonight was a meeting at church so I got things ready for that. The big news was what happened yesterday and it spilled over into today. At church I am the leader of a group hunting for a new pastor. Our current pastor is retiring. I got a call yesterday from him and he told me all about this mess concerning profiles (resumes) from potential candidates to fill the position. I had talked to the regional minister by E-mail (the one who is supposed to distribute the profiles) and he was going to have his staff send all that he had (ones he hadn't looked at) down for our team to look at on Thursday. I said fine, assuming there would be maybe 20 of them. Apparently he passed that task off to someone else in the office and she told him that just wasn't doable. So then the plan was for her to limit it down, which is totally not her job. She got upset and so someone else 'volunteered' to look at the profiles and limit it down to send. She's apparently not supposed to do that, but she took it upon herself. It's very political, so the current pastor called me and told me all about it last night. He's sort of been working behind the scenes so that we have something to look at on Thursday. Whew. I got an E-mail from our regional minister (oh, I forgot to say that he is in Indiana for some reason, not in Seattle) that he wasn't going to have any ready for Thursday. Ok, so this is a big deal. I know...you are asking 'why?'. It's a big deal because it's been over three weeks since we sent in our profile and all they really need to do is start matching them up! Tottally his job. He knew at that time that our meeting was this Thursday. he also knows that we are on a tight schedule and that we need to have someone by the end of August. That means there is no time to waste.
There is my long story. Fun, wasn't it? So now I am just hoping that we get something to look at on Thursday otherwise I will be a very unhappy camper. I should probably write the regional minister back, and maybe call him tomorrow, but I am afraid I will go ballistic. Hahaha.
Speaking of tomorrow, I'm not sure what I'm doing. I haven't even gotten a sub call. I could start packing things up. I really need to do laundry. No meetings tomorrow either! What am I to do! Right now I think I will watch the Everwood I didn't watch last night and then maybe a QaF. I should pop some popcorn. Ug, I am so ready to move. Double ug.
