2003-01-15 - 5:05 p.m. Last night I attended the Band Booster meeting like a good little band president and instead found myself in the midst of a Trudeau (Trudy) bashing party. All they did was nit-pick everything she's done the past five years. Which really pissed me off because A.) The lack of people in the band program is not her fault. It's the stupid middle school teacher's fault. and B.) They kept bringing up old things by starting their sentances with "Not to beat an old horse to death, but...." (or something equally irritating) and C.) IT WAS A WASTE OF 45 MINUTES OF MY TIME! IF YOU WANT TO GOSSIP ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DO IT ON YOUR OWN FUCKING TIME! I had to leave early because I was skipping Pep band to be there and they needed me b/c Joel's a fucking ass and couldn't show up b/c he 'had too much to do' (we ALL do.... bastard...). I was so angry I was shaking. I've never been that angry before in my entire life. As I was walking up the bleachers to join the band Justin caught my eye and I guess I gave him such a look that he motioned for me to come over. I told him that it had been a 45 minute Trudy bash (except for the ten minutes where we talked about the *two* things I needed discussed) and he got as angry as I was... Only he doesn't shake. During the 'meeting' I found out that the principal and the Fine Arts director (member of the school board) schedualed a meeting with the band officers Wed. morning to ask us how they should handle things with Trudy leaving next year. Heh. I changed that. Being the pissed off girl I was, I opened with my thoughts of the 'inappropriate use of time' the night before. Basically it ended up with the principal and FA guy portraying "We're going to talk until our face is blue and then let you talk while we catch our breath and figure out ways to interrupt you". AHHHHH!!!! After an hour in the principal's office in the meeting and then an hour talking to the teacher union director/pres/whatever I was emotionally wiped out. Not helping, I didn't sleep at all last night. So, basically, I could pack for a week's vacation with these bags under my eyes... I'm forgetting so many details. But the jist is there. Basically, I'm angrier than when we started this whole merry-go-round ride.. but I don't know how to explain what I'm feeling.... List of offenses (for Edi's mental organization): 1.) Monaghan continued to have BB meeting even though Trudy canceled it. 2.)Niether she nor Mr. Kraft stopped the complaining parents last night. 3.)They made Trudy angry. 4.)They didn't seem to care what the officers said. 5.)They're pinning the lack of band participation on Trudy... when it's obviously not entirely her fault.... 6.)They made Trudy angry. To top it all off I STILL haven't gotton a realy kiss on the cheek from anyone.... I feel dejected.
