this has now reminded me of the time i headed up the events committee of the lgbtq+ org in college but literally only because no one wanted to do it, and we did 2 things; cleaned up after basketball games to get money and threw a big drag show in one of the auditoriums. and i did So much work on the drag show, from getting the space booked, getting the volunteer cops to come, getting the organizers in line, communicating about set lists and with people, and the main other helper was just on the committee (actually made the set list and did the DJing i think); and then my VP helped run the day of-setup, which was great, because i have no sense for delegation and we had so many people ready to help, and she had done the decoration shopping.
and at the end of the night, drunk on the success and helping shove speakers and stuff into cars (which i had organized borrowing from the theater dept), one of my co-presidents of something told me i hadn't done anything and my VP had done all the work (to be fair, i think i was probably being snide about her at the time because she sucked and i didn't like her) and after that i think i had basically no interest in the group anymore which was good because it was the end of the year
#fuck em#i did get my current job on the basis of having done this i think#luckily one of the other committee members spoke highly of me as a reference#it is actual nuts how angry this still makes me#actual flashbacks to the parking lot being flabbergasted#you know who showed up to every goddamn basketball cleanup thats right me and my personal friends who were not in the club but were nice#not my fucking VP !!!!#you know who never let us spend any of the money we were making OUR SECRETARY#this was a nightmare 'organization' (club) and our monthly meetings were 3 hours long#sometimes i still think about the original president of events who was basically#'the guy who throws the parties'#FOLLOW UP this was the one gay party i attended my senior year#because by senior year i thought parties were a waste of time#but i went to the afterparty to my own special 'what a drag'#and somehow the VP girl who sucked had gotten drunk and the person she was responsible for driving home needed a ride#and my bff had to do it because i asked her nicely#and ended up having a way more intensive adventure than she intended#while i sat at a party where everyone was vaping#i think as soon as she got back i left#what a stupid thing#half dead fried life#you would not believe how good i am at not writing this application :P
