And I find myself wanting to bonk my head on my desk and ask, "Is it just me?"
Here's a snippet of this event's nonsense.
Question #1
From a past-the-deadline RSVP, a few days before the event: "Do we know who the speaker is yet?"
No. I thought I'd just pull someone from the audience to volunteer.
Asked today at my event, about an upcoming event: "Why don't you bring wheelchairs to the event, like in case my parents get tired and want to be pushed around?"
Right - we're not a nonprofit group, we're a hospital supply company for lazy people. For that matter, why don't we bring volunteers to push them?
My volunteer's mom gave him a ride to the event. When they showed up half an hour late, the job he was scheduled for was already done. I explained this and asked if something had come up. Her reply: "I had to take my morning walk."
I'd have been more sympathetic if you had told me you had to take your morning shit.
Act of complete cluelessness
A question from someone who showed up with no RSVP: "Where is the table of company X? I wanted to sit close to that table."
It's good to want things. It's also good to pull your head out of your ass once in awhile.

I suspect it is a very good thing that you don't have your avatar's gun.
Somedays the gene pool is very, very shallow and scum filled isn't it?
Well that didn't end as planned...obviously!
Well, if you are getting into supplying stuff "just in case"...
Have an ambulance parked outside?
Have a SWAT team on call?
Have a side room full of hookers?
I laughed at all of these but especially the morning shit one!
People are amazing, aren't they?
Maybe she fell into a well on her walk.....
Another day of mind boggling!
Giver her the benefit of the doubt, maybe her morning walk was delayed by her morning shit.
All I can say is hahahhahaha! I'm sorry you had to deal with these people. But hilarious material!
The wheelchair reminds me of the newest episode of Derek. Kev's dad gets pushed around in a wheelbarrow. The government won't supply a wheelchair because there is nothing wrong with him. He is just lazy.
If you haven't seen the episode I recommend it! It is pee your pants funny.
My new excuse for EVERYTHING from now on will be: "I had to take my morning walk." I cracked up laughing when I read that :)
I second that last cat's comment
You mean this volunteer thing isn't all about me? But what if I need to rest in a wheelchair after my morning walk? I think that's a LITTLE bit more important than your stupid nonprofit.
(Also, we e-mailed you. Look for it)
Aaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhh! What else can I do than scream out..."Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!?
Oh my goodness. You must have the patience of a saint!
Oh my, how I can relate to such a fiasco. With that, the dog is about to take me for a walk....
Take good care and have a peaceful weekend.
