That experience was annoying to say the least. I had to go this morning to help with flower arranging for the awards banquet that is tonight. I arrive only to find that people who said they could not make it had actually decided to come. This normally is a fine thing to end up with more volunteers; however, none of them had experience in flower arranging. Certainly, I think having an interest in flower arranging is a very good thing but you do not wait to try your hand in it when you are only eight hours away from an awards banquet. Many different classes have been taught in flower arranging but they do not go to them. Then they used too much plant material and a ton of it goes to waste, which leaves nothing for a majority of the arrangements. Then the people that were supposed to be setting up for the party decided to take a long break so we ended up having to set up the tables, put down the centerpieces, and put out all of the arrangements. This is what you get when you have to depend on government workers to set up a banquet…
The best part was being harassed for being so quiet. Yes, I am quiet. No, I do not feel like making small talk with you. I came to arrange flowers, not chitchat. They all kept talking to me to get me to become a chatterbox. What would we talk about, string theory? Or maybe philosophy? Or perhaps we could talk about Jung or Sartre? Sure, sure. I will certainly be posting on the extroverted atrocities I spot this evening at the banquet, as it should be quite horrific to partake in.
