More and more I wonder why I don’t just say this to your face and have done with it. You are a terrible board president and now you have the opportunity to be a catastrophic one. Get this: volunteers are vital. Staff members are pretty damned important too. It’s just shameful that you’ve ditched the volunteer appreciation night two years in a row. And what do you think it says about you that you didn’t show up for the retirement party for someone who’s worked here for 10 years (and is beloved by all, btw, though that doesn’t even register to you)?
And when I heard from someone who knows that you didn’t even contribute to the retirement gift? Are you KIDDING me? Class act.
I get the feeling from you that I’m not being considered for the new position and getting the hint to not even bother putting my hat in the ring. I wish someone could tell me straight out why I’m not a good fit, even though I question whether I have the courage to hear it.
I simply cannot believe that interrupted me when I specifically ask you not to bother me.
Gads. The door will now be locked and I will not answer the phone if I am occupied.
Somehow your time is so much more important than mine.
I really want you to listen to what I have to say BUT listening doesn’t only mean being quiet. It means making a sincere effort to understand what is being said even if you don’t agree. It does us both no good when you sit there, looking like a cat ready to pounce, just waiting for me to finish speaking only so you can jump in to make your point…That is not listening…
When I say I won’t be able to make it having four people contact me to ask me if I will be coming isn’t going to change my mind. I can’t be at two places in opposite directions at the same time and I am not going to cancel going to an event I agreed to two months ago to attend something you planned last minute. Please don’t try to guilt me into doing something I don’t want to do.
Please, leave a few MORE things until the last possible second. Because that’s so much more relaxing than getting things done a little at a time. It’s good for the blood pressure too. C’mon, we have 36 more hours. That’s PLENTY of time!
I adore you, but when you have a job interview tomorrow that you’ve known about, waiting til Sun afternoon to update your resume, and then finding that our computers and printers are not compatible so I have to reformat everything, just stresses the system. It wasn’t necessary.
And please look like a gentleman. That includes the small details.
What is wrong with you? Why do you keep posting crazy things??? Not only the nutty political stuff, but you said that I haven’t changed since HS. Clearly, at the very least, you need glasses. =))
I can forgive you for ordering the most expensive item on the menu. You always do. And then you offer to “split the check”. Really, it’s like a comical song and dance we do, but I love you so I can grouse about it and then move on.
However, NO, I do NOT think that Englebert Humperdinck’s cover of “After the Lovin” is a great song! Oh heck no! You’re lucky I didn’t run screaming from the room! I might be scarred for ever…
Another time that you are late to the restaurant. However, I decided to arrive later than you! ;
This is my new plan! It makes me smile. You are either early and are half finished with your meal (weird) when we arrive right on time or you are very very late and do not even text. We have waited 45 minutes and 30 minutes and once you missed the movie.
I have chosen not to invite you to our last 3 gatherings as we cannot count on you to arrive at a reasonable hour.
Your late arrival is very disrupting when we are hosting many others. Your excuse the last time --1.5 hours late–“we drove up to the mountain”. Well guess what–We cooked and prepared for days.We have other guests to care for.
So you are out.
You say you have no friends and now I believe you.
You let your D attend a summer pre-college program for incoming freshman at her dream school and now, just a few weeks before school starts, you figure out that you can’t afford to send her there???
If you’ve lived in the south all your life, then you should know better than to plan an outdoor wedding ceremony in July or August! Add must be washable to criteria for clothing.
I can’t say that I am easily swayed by watching a video clip , but seeing that just opened my eyes to something that I might have otherwise brushed off.
