Conflicts of Interest
Warning: This is going to make me sound like such an ungrateful bitch.
As it turns out, I did make the YP Council. Yaay! But is it wrong that I'm not really happy at all with the committee I'm on? There are two guys on this committee (including the Chair) that I feel like always talk over me when I'm trying to speak up OR they completely dismiss what I'm saying as if I don't know what I'm talking about. This has happened multiple times in my interactions with them over the last couple of months. I want to be involved with helping put together the Gala, but I don't want to get stepped all over. I seriously cannot STAND those guys! The Chair has got to be one of the biggest know-it-all jerks I've ever met. Damn, why didn't I apply to specifically be on the (more professionally relevant) Communications committee? I actually like the people on that committee and there's still an empty spot on that committee, as far as I can tell...Yeah, I'm going to have to sit down and talk to our ACS Liaison about this.
But I made the council. Yay?

ETA: you know, maybe this isn't a bad thing at all. I was afraid to commit to a year-long Exec Council position because I'm not sure if I want to be here for another whole 12 months. OTOH, I'm mad the guy who was named Chair just did a virtual victory lap by sending out a "Hey, I can't wait to get started!" email. *gag* I'm kinda over being on this Council already and I haven't even started. What's wrong with me? I was stressing about this for a solid week and now it's a joke to me? LOL!
