Hilarity abounds!
Last week was absurdly busy--school vacation week and all. Some cool things happened, and I'll catch up on them (I hope) over the next couple of days. But for now, a little extra hilarity to make the day go faster!
I have a College Admissions program running tonight. The guy will be here soon to set up, and the program starts at 7. I'm supposed to get 15-20 people into a room that comfortably seats 10-15. But don't worry, it'll be easy! Because the Friends booksale starts Wednesday, and they're setting up today--so they've TAKEN ALL THE TABLES. They didn't tell anyone they were taking all the extra tables around, but they took ALL the tables in the big meeting room, and all the tables from the small meeting room, AND all the tables from the computer lab. And the two tables that we have up here that we use for craft programs.
Our building director came up with some lady and took one of the round tables--those low little kiddie tables--to bring down for a meeting that's in the room before me. This is the only table we can use tonight, as it’s the only one not already in use.
I can't move into the computer lab tonight because there's another meeting in there, with 20-25 people. Obviously the big meeting room is right out. So... I have to find the second rack of chairs (the first will be used for that other meeting) and set up in the small room, and lord knows how this guy will set up his laptop and projector... But without the tables in there, I’ll have extra space for chairs! Hooray!... I think.
What? Tear my hair out and cry? Why, yes, I'd love to!
