Finally Able to Post

Every evening I have found myself either too busy or too pissed off to post, it's been a busy week.

My boss has all these demands yet he doesn't want to help or follow thru with anything that I've gotten rolling. So we spend a lot of time bitching on the phone. And I get to sit and listen to him complain about his problems. Meanwhile, nothing gets done.

We have a little car show tomorrow--an "easy" one by most standards. No fencing or equipment to set up, no sponsors to deal with, just Corvettes and Vipers, and trophies at the end of the day.
The Resort where we put on a lot of our events offered for us to use the outdoor nightclub--Kokomo's--to use for our venue. Park the cars, turn on the music, hang out, that's it. They said they'd have the bar available and also a food vendor.

So I started doing the publicity for it. I got the trophies ordered. I got door prizes for the car owners.
Then yesterday the Resort told us they had no idea we were actually doing this car show. They hadn't gotten the bar stocked, they didn't have a bartender for it, they had no food vendors available, and they didn't really think they needed to go thru the trouble of all of it just so we could have our little show.

I didn't throw a fit, but I did start to loose my cool at one point when I said, "Have I been working on all this for the past month for nothing??"

After I left, they decided to at least have the bar open and available for us. They called and told me they were working on it.

So today I'm getting my registration forms ready, and I'm resting. The stress of this week has resulted in a lot of sleepless nights and I am really feeling it.
