Naw, she has to drop one more thing. Trouble comes in 3’s. Hop to it, TT! Get it all over and done with!
Ugh. Sorry to hear.
IL, you are right that one more thing will probably bite the dust).
In today's episode of "My Boss Is An Idiot"...
Officer comes in and asks him how to package a gun and some ammo that was found. I am sitting nearby at my desk listening. Boss gets the gun packaging instructions right but completely messes up the ammo. He told the Officer to take the ammo out of the magazine and package separately. Then tells the Officer to put a spent casing in with the unused ammo. The correct response should have been.... keep the ammo in the magazine as it is safer contained rather than being able to roll around in an envelope. Then package the casing separately as it will be going to the State Lab for analysis.
Boss is a Sergeant and makes over $100,000 a year. I am but a peon yet somehow I know proper Police procedures and he doesn't. Ugh!!!
I hate how much paper I waste at work. There’s no away around it. Every day I have to do a report and then attach the first page of a document to it for accounting. There is no way of knowing how many pages the documents I attach are going to be, so I can’t just print the first page. There is no way to do this paperless. I’ve asked and was absolutely refused. Drives me nuts.
So, we are less than 3 months away from a regional plant society conference that has a national reach.
No information has been distributed. I wouldn't even know the exact dates of this conference if an outlier hadn’t sent email to everyone in our local group (who are expected to pull this off) mentioning the dates. The national organization has published nothing. The regional organization sponsoring the conference has published nothing.
yet, I know it is going forward. Dearest organizers, Please tell us how we are to participate if we cant even get it onto our calendars in THE busiest months of the gardening season?
IL, that is so frustrating. Does someone need to stir the pot as it may be a case of "I thought that you were doing that; no, no that was your job"?
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
In recent years I have volunteered to take on “programming” of this organization for the sole purpose of getting the events calendar distributed in a timely way. Sometimes it worked.Originally Posted by razz
For this upcoming conference, planning originally started in 2018. Iris plants have to be obtained from hybridizers to plant in “guest” gardens so that they would be fully mature by May 2020, the original date of the conference.
Covid killed the 2020 conference, and sadly, the past two years have brought cancer and disease and death to FOUR key people who had jobs assigned. But the core group is putting their heads down to charge through carrying out the entire big package of bus tours, lunches and dinners, meetings, etc. as initially planned, plus we are still inviting one of the national iris groups, the biggest one, to attend. I think it is madness, but then, I didnt attend the initial planning meetings because I didnt want to waste my time. I volunteered to be Registrar, a major job, and they didnt take me up on that.
there isnt much else I am willing to do for these conferences since I think so much of it is unnecessary. Already it looks as though I will be attending 3 major conferences this year and I am plotting my escape from the interminable banquet dinners where yacking at the podium goes on and on.
Our garden club is still trying to recover from the pandemic. And the December windstorm that devastated their community gardens.
