Day 166 - Soon To Be Ex Chairperson
Jun. 15th, 2010 08:53 pmWell. I had my first meeting as chairperson. I was not impressed. In fact, I'm so pissed off right now, I'm ready to tell them to take the job and shove it.
Two things - TWO THINGS - was all I asked for when I agreed to the position. One, that the current chair stay on to train me, since I don't know anything about the policies and procedures etc. and two, that the committee members would help were needed.
Tonight, I had to FORCE someone else to be secretary. Like excuse me, I am NOT going to do both jobs, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! So much for helping out.
Also, the old chairperson was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. Nice. The other lady, who has the next most experience, showed up late, which, fine, whatever. I understand about work schedules and what nots. BUT THEN SHE PROCEEDS TO KNOCK DOWN EVERYTHING I TRY TO DO, which just pissed me off even MORE because when the position for chair became available, she was the first person the old chair asked and she was all OH NO! I DON'T WANT TO DO IT!!! Then shut the hell up!
So consequently, we really got nothing accomplished at the meeting. Oh, we decided to send out letters to everyone. Whoopee.
I'm going to talk to the coordinator in the morning. If this is the way people are prepared to support me, I'll be resigning.
