I love my job most of the time, like in more than 90% of the time. There are times when I get to help my colleagues in tremendous ways & when they thank me for doing what I'm paid to do as union prez, it just makes the job even nicer.
There are other times where I get annoyed. That's really probably about 2% of the time - even though on this blog it probably looks like much more than that. Even with that 2% annoyal rating, I love being union prez.
It's that 5% give or take that makes me question my sanity.
Today, I'm having that 5% of wanting to strangle somebody. And that's because adults won't act like adults and instead get angry or irritated with me because of it.
We calendar all of our meetings in August of each year. From that calendar, I put in all the information on an online calendar that is readily accessible to everyone through our website. Additionally, all of our officers & our reps receive a hard copy of said calendar at our first rep council meeting. I also always put our next two meetings on each meeting agenda. All of that is a lot of notice - wouldn't you think?
Most of the time, I send out an e-mail reminding people of an upcoming meeting. This week, I forgot. I sent an e-mail out with an apology today as we have a meeting tonight.
The sky is falling.
I am to blame.

I hate having to baby adults--I feel like I'm in the same position as you are with a few members of my department. I didn't remind you 100 times, gee, sorry.
How annoying.
