Grrrr....
Well that's what I get, I guess, huh?
They're doing this contest at work - a "decorate a conference room" sort of thing.
A few people had approached me about getting a group together to do it and it was basically left in my hands to make it float or sink.
Here's how it's gone so far:
Tuesday:
So I sent around an e-mail to the group asking who else would want to joing the "team" and I got a few more responses.
We then had a meeting to determine our name and theme.
THAT was fun !
(NOT !)
EVERYONE kept looking at me blankly as if I was the "leader" and it was my job to come up with the concepts here !
So, after an OVERLY, UNNECESSARILY long meeting, we had a name and concept.
GREAT !
It was then determined that it would be MY job to go pick up the supplies.
Off to the party store I went after work...and then to the WalMart because the party store sort of sucked and they had no real pumpkins...
2 hours later I made my way home.
Wednesday:
I block the room from 11:30 - 3:00 so that the entire team could come in whenever they wanted to to decorate. Of course, it ended up being me in the room ALL day long and one or two other people actually participating. One of the managers who I'm friends with was really the only other person exerting EFFORT - the others were just making comments and suggestions.
How about GET OFF YOUR ASS and HELP US OUT ! ! ! !
It was determined that we weren't quite fancy enough and that we needed a fog machine, some black lights, a strobe light and a coffin !
So, being the good little office bitch that I am, I went BACK out to find some of these items - the fog machine was bought by the manager friend of mine and the black light was assigned to another person.
I got home last night just as the sun was going down.
GREAT !
I got to spraypaint styrofoam rectangles in near darkness out in my yard. (These are going to be our gravestones since I didn't like any of the ones the store sold.)
It was then my job to carve a pumpkin....
So I got that done too- not bad, but definitely not my finest work either...
Thursday:
So today it's my job to schelp all this stuff into the office and finish this room.
The kiddies are showing up at 3:30....
(We do a "bring your kids to work so they can trick-or-treat" day and this whole decorating contest is really for them.)
I have a meeting at 10am with Boss-Man to do my overdue review.
I'm helping out a friend who's bringing in his infant daughter by watching her for an hour this afternoon while he's conducting his staff meeting.
And the room STILL needs to be finished.
Oh yeah, and I may want to try to get some WORK done as well, huh?!?!??!?!
At least I'm working from home tomorrow.
I have to go in first thing to set up a guy who's coming in as a trainer, but then I schlep back home and work from home for the rest of the day.
All I know is that we'd BETTER be winning SOMETHING for all this effort today ! ! ! ! ! !
