Sometimes people just need to get their feelings hurt. No matter how badly you always want to carefully plan your words and tone you can't always do it. I keep a box of tissue on my desk for just that purpose.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14702231605902566310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1148366708890507782006-05-22T23:45:00.000-07:002006-05-22T23:45:00.000-07:00that's it.i'm coming back.i cannot stand not being...that's it.<BR/><BR/>i'm coming back.<BR/><BR/>i cannot stand not being privy to the day-to-day oddities of The Org.<BR/><BR/>And learning from them, as you always-brilliantly do.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763152859930827758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1148366263551509092006-05-22T23:37:00.000-07:002006-05-22T23:37:00.000-07:00Jean-Paul Sarte: "Hell is other people."I have no ...Jean-Paul Sarte: "Hell is other people."<BR/><BR/>I have no idea how to do it but it sounds like many volunteers need to understand that the role of the volunteer is to help, not make things more difficult.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626912199632170858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1148351192476097632006-05-22T19:26:00.000-07:002006-05-22T19:26:00.000-07:00I'd sure love to know the answer to that one!

Every job has some insane bullshit we have to deal with--even being a homemaker.<BR/><BR/>As for the artist, tell her it's not what you had in mind, stress how important it is that the logo/art for this event capture the spirit of the gathering. Then tell her to try again and give her a strict-ish deadline.<BR/><BR/>Good luck...and no, you probably DON'T get paid enough to deal with all that bullshit.
