volunteering....
you know i think i'm just going to give up on doing things for people because it seems to get thrown in my face. i've tried to be nice and do things for people and it seems as though it's just not appreciated! i'm trying to help some people out (who need it) and save them some money (because they need it) and i just feel like it's been a big hassle for not only me! i guess you just can't do something nice for people.
i've been working on this thing FOR MONTHS now and i'm tried of the "this isn't right calls." geeze make ALL the changes at once. committee had seen it FOR MONTHS and when it was ready to go to the printers they CHANGE ALL THE COPY. WTF!?!?!? did they just not read it in the last three months they had been looking at it? so i made the f-ing changes and sent it to the printer. the proof comes back and i get a call that the copy changes weren't made? I MADE THE F-ING CHANGES. so now i have to wonder if the printer used the wrong version of my file for the proof? did i not have all of the changes? i'm so tired of this.
and just one other thing bothering me. a little comment made to me last week. "well you're going to have to put in some extra time to get this done, you know." EXCUSE ME? i'm giving all the time i can. i don't think people understand that if i'm there helping out FOR FREE i'm PAYING someone OUT OF MY POCKET to watch wesley and that's getting expensive. i'm worried enough about being able to afford the sitter, and that's without having to leave him there for extra hours!!!! i'm afraid this isn't going to work and that makes me feel awful. because it's not about the bullshit. it's about the kids. *sigh*
