i’m shaken.

o_O ah! this morning sucked. today i decided to be good, and i finally went back to kaiser after not volunteering for the entire summer. what a mistake. jo, rusha, and amy were at the info desk volunteering with me when this elder lady who is a weekday daytime volunteer comes up to us and begins to scold us about everything we are doing wrong. she said that by putting pictures on our badges, we were defacing kaiser property, (sorry, we didn’t know!) and that by doing our homework, we were giving kaiser a bad image (wth else are we supposed to do? kaiser isn’t the busiest place on saturday mornings). she then took our badges, kicked us out of the info desk, and told us to go home. i didn’t understand at all what we had done wrong. when amy spoke up i was relieved, but she got yelled at for “argueing” when she was simply just asking why we had to leave and what we were doing wrong. when we left for the parking lot we were so confused. what had we seriously done wrong to constitute for getting kicked out of kaiser? so we stand in the parking lot of kaiser ranting about that bitchy, old lady and then we see her go into the security office and turn in our badges. we try to contact donna, the director of volunteer services, but she wasn’t home, so we decide to go into the security office to see wat was going on. it’s weird how the security guys who we try to avoid cause they always hit on us.. were the guys that saved us and helped us out today. they gave us bak our badges, listened to our side of the story, tried to help us contact donna, and let us go back to kaiser to volunteer. they told us that the lady had no right to take our badges and kick us off property. 🙂 makes me feel better to hear that.

anyway. that ruined my morning.. and my day for that matter. and i’m slightly traumatized. but.. i think i’ll survive. i need to start getting hours for NHS anyway. so if kaiser doesn’t work out.. i guess i could start at a different place. new friends.. new experiences. 🙂

RAVE// man. i’m in love with the ataris all over again.

RANT// inspire me.
