Yesterday Bookie mentioned......
I thought I was being overly sensitive until a couple of the board members came up to me after the board meeting and said they want to resign right now. I hope I was able to soothe ruffled feathers. I agreed that we all were having kind of a rough transition, and asked them to give it a little more time to see if things will get better when we get some nicer weather.
This is an interesting issue Bookie, one that I am dealing with from one end, and dh from the other. I'm finishing my term as temple president and he just began a two year term as chair of f ederation board. He is having transition issues with his predecessor, who has been a close friend forever and whom I speak of as Realtor friend. Predecessor feels he wasn't consulted enough or given enough opportunity to "train" dh, perhaps. From the other end, I'm finishing my term and new very very bright president is stepping up and I'm thinking "Duh! WHy didn't I think of that?" And from my end, sometimes it feels like an affront when he wants to take on something that I didn't think needed fixing.
Anyway, transition issues are touchy in organizations and it sounds like your folks don't have an ounce of tact between them. I'm sorry it's hurtful and ugly. Would a private heart-to-heart with these folks help?
Today has turned out to be two funerals - one very large this morning, with sanctuary service, trip to cemetery, and back to temple for meal, the other a smaller graveside service at the cemetery of the other congregation. That will take the heart out of my morning and afternoon both.
I have a short list of stuff that could/should happen in between. Words with dh on Friday/Sat because we discussed me contacting a neighbor couple to see if we could get together for dinner over the weekend, and I zoned out and didn't do it. And often, I manage to forget a lot of those kinds of things. So reminder that something written left on my desk is best practice as a reminder, and for myself, I need a written to do list for most days, other wise I drift through. I'm remembering that when I worked, nonwork tasks often flew out of my head once I got focused there, and at the end of the day I'd realize I hadn't done this and that.
Need to get busy as I overslept, clock was set and I just couldn't get up. I have some soreness/stiffness from Sat fall in the creek. Funeral starts in 1.5 hours and I'd like to be there early.

). Tummy acted up during the weekend, so all in all I'm 'recovering' today.
