Hostelling meeting
We had a meeting last night to talk about our booth at the upcoming Irish Festival. C.B. opened the meeting with telling us all how to read a map of Fair Park where the Festival is going to be. The map clearly shows were the entrances are and where the cultural section is. For Gawd's sake we can all READ!
We were less than five minutes into the meeting and I wanted to jump off a very high cliff into the jagged rocks below.
Then S.C wanted to go over the volunteer schedule with C.B. At this point I am ready to give up my new title, my volunteer position and what's left of my sanity! I have given you the hours I am going to work the festival and if you are in charge of the rest of the volunteers then I don't have to know what their hours are...you do! Why are you wasting my time? I said, "Why don't you two go over that list later with C.B. and let's go over the materials we have for the booth (which is what the meeting was called for), I am not really feeling well and don't want to be here all night."
As far as I am concerned all business meetings should have a written agenda, with a copy provided for each participant, and the points should be gone over one by one with no person getting tangental and talking about the history of the hostel in Murky Waters for 20 frickin minutes!
Arggggg...I could go on and on, but I won't.
