BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Etiquette Rant Week Begins - July 2005

All right! This post marks the beginning of Rant Week.

This is the week when you can log onto the forum and vent about the lady that cut you off in this morning's commute, the man that took the last bag of potato chips as you were reaching for them.. ANYTHING!!!

So what are you waiting for... POST ALREADY!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have been waiting about two weeks for rant week. As soon as Hurricane Dennis blew through, out came the chainsaws and people started cutting up perfectly good trees, trees that were leaning and could be saved. And trees that were perfectly fine, but in case of another hurricane, they went ahead and cut down the trees. <img src="/images/graemlins/wall.gif" alt="" />

I am irritated bout employees who whine about no hours one week ( i get budgeted hours from home office for my store) and then when I have hours to burn no one wants to come in and work ARGHHHHH!

RSVPs!!!!!!!
I just had my little girl's birthday party. Normally I wouldn't be terribly upset if someone showed up at a B'day party w/out (I am a huge over-preparer), but this party I hired out a group that came in and did a "fashion show" they dressed the girls up, did their make-up, hair, etc. and had a runway show. I HAD to let them know 2 days in advance how many children were coming so they could prepare. The day of (Sunday) a little girl at church says she's coming, I had already asked her dad earlier in the week and had been told no. Apparently she begged to come and her parents gave in. Except there was no costume for her. She was heart broken, and I felt terrible, but I didn't feel it was my fault!
Auuuuugh!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/wall.gif" alt="" />
