Stupidity

Post by JCShutout »

Person A: "Hey JC, we need you to make a reader schedule. We agreed it would be better to have one 3 months in advance as oppossed to trying to get people signed up every week."

Me: /just got back in town Tuesday at midnight
//staying at work late all week to catch up after a vacation
///family in town and family gatherings Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
////Helped with a monthly liturgy Saturday morning
/////Helped at a homeless shealter Saturday afternoon
//////Sister's wedding Saturday night
///////Grandpa's birthday Sunday
////////Step-brother leaving for Iraq in a week (and leaving stl the next day)
/////////still working on stuff for grad school
//////////Thus, NOT FACKING THINKING MUCH ABOUT A STUPID SCHEDULE

"Great! That will be easier than me trying to guilt people into reading every week."

////////////especially since last week when I was out of town, no one had signed up anyone to read for this week, even though I gave people the sign up sheet.

Person A: "Here is a list of the people who attended the reader training to make the schedule from."

Me: "Great!"
---------------------
/////////////A week later, after ZERO complaints about the schedule.

Person B: "Hey, I wanted to be a reader and I'm not on the list. I really want to read and I'm sad that I'm not on the list. I didn't know it was contingent on attending the training."

Me: "Ok, let me check with Person A and redo everything. We'll get you on there."
//////////////asks person A

Person A: "Several of our regular readers missed the training. We didn't intend that only those who attended be allowed to read, you must have misunderstood. We can't exclude Person B... yada yada"

No morans, you handed me a facking list. I'm not trying to exclude anybody. If someone isn't on the list... here's a hint, THEN I DON'T [expletive] KNOW IF THEY WANT TO BE A READER! GEEZ, SPEND 20 MINUTES AND SEND AN EMAIL ASKING ANYONE ELSE IF THEY WANT ON THE LIST, OR ATLEAST TELL ME THAT YOU HAVEN'T DONE SQUAT SO I CAN SPEND 20 MINUTES SENDING AN EMAIL.

Now oddly enough, 3 weeks ago they DID say they only wanted people who had attended the training, but I guess that's besides the point. Also, they saw the finished list, and approved it.

Dumbasses.

The only solution is to burn the building to the ground.
