Committee Member

Um, this was a bad idea. I'm not a 'member' person apparently. Went to a committee meeting today and wanted to leave 20 minutes into it. The head of the committee has no control and is unable to make a decision on something as simple as a shirt design. If I was the head of the committee we would have had this done two weeks ago at the latest. I got the distinct impression people wanted me to shut up whenever I put forth an idea and yet I didn't hear many other ideas than my own.

Also, I might add that for a society that is supposed to be for progressive women, every meeting feels like some tea party or a book club meeting where everything but books is talked about. I leave feeling a little ashamed to be a woman. And yet, here's the funny part, every little idea is scrutinized to see if it is demeaning to woman. GROW A PAIR LADIES! Geez.

We'll see how long I last on this committee. I'm beginning to feel very much like my father, who can not be part of a group without being the one in charge.

And now I've got to go to bootcamp. Work off some of this frustration.
