I'm pissed. I'm almost even livid at this point. To not make a short story long, I'll just say at this point that I spend a good part of last night ranting myself red in the face about my current work situation. Yes, that one. The new one. Why? Because I've been made a lot of promises that haven't been made good, but I don't have time to explicate on that right now.
What I'm really pissed about this morning is that [(1) I haven't had breakfast, won't have time for breakfast (or to pick up lunch for that matter) and I'm getting lightheaded] and that I have to be at some fucking back-to-school event in about 20 minutes to set up a table. Why am I blogging about it instead of hopping to? Because if I go down there without getting this off my chest, I'm going to bite someone's head off.
I was supposed to bring a few things to the event: a volunteer sign-up sheet, a donation sheet, an information flyer (all of which I had to create last night on my home computer), business cards, etc. There was a list of things that the executive director wrote down that we should take, like the banner and some other display items.
I had no idea that I would be responsible for taking ALL OF THEM. When I last saw him yesterday, we were at some company recruiting volunteers in RTP when he scurried out to leave me to pack my car with school supplies the company donated. He said he'd see me this morning at the event.
Oh.kay. I knew I had to come into the office this morning to print things, so here I am. I didn't realize until I came in that he wasn't going to take ANYTHING.
Let me tell you something. My fucking car is packed to the ceiling with school supplies because I haven't coordinated with the person who's supposed to receive the donation. Scott is driving my car today because it'll be less likely to get broken into where he parks. I have to take all this shit to the event, find parking, and then pay for my own parking. Then I have to sit there for four hours while the ED is at home with his kids. Then I have to pack up all this shit and bring it back to the office.
And in 4 weeks I haven't been reimbursed a penny for gas. It's going to be hard to put a fucking smile on my face and be nice to the public when I am so fucking pissed off at how poorly this program is being run.
