all i have to say is that as far as i know, no one except valerie was informed that other people were coming to help.

i thought tuesday was going to be our day to take care of the shit that we brought. this is a charity event. in a sense, it isn't our event at all, so tuesday was one of the last days to really do Our thing with the stuff that WE got. i know that sounds selfish and maybe even childish, but goddamn it, we deserved that. we've worked SO hard, and was it too much to ask to do our gift bags by ourselves? if i had KNOWN that other people were coming, i would have said something prior to them actually showing up. yes, it may have seemed like just a small detail at the time, but i was incredibly offended when no one bothered to clue me in with what was going on that night. it wouldve been different if i wasn't really involved, but that wasn't the case.

as far as i'm concerned, this was one big misunderstanding.
not only did i APOLOGETICALLY ASK if you would CONSIDER taking your sister home, i IN NO WAY made it a demand. i thought it was extremely rude of you to hang up on me without even discussing WHY i might feel a certain way. all you had to say was no. i realized that these people, nick and amanda, had come to help, and like i said thirty times, i was so thankful for that, but we had no idea this was going to be some big gift bagging festival.

guess what, if you guys had all decided to come and do this, and then suddenly i showed up with five people from work, i think you'd all be a little pissed.

it has nothing to do with the individuals who came. it could've fucking been the pope for all i care. and you know what, all that needed to be done was one little phone call that said, "hey, we're all meeting at val's at 9, and i'm bringing two friends to help."

the problem is, we all sorta found out what was going on at the same time, and yes, i admit that we overreacted, and i apologize for that, but when it comes down to it, i still think all of the problems we've had throughout the production of this event has revolved around the lack of communication.

this has blown way out of proportion, and i hope that we can all get over it for the event tomorrow. i apologize to nicky and sara and your sister for putting them in that position and hope that they understand it had nothing to do with wanting or not wanting their help.
