Am up , dressed, have had at least one pot of coffee here at home.
Got a call wasn't expecting, could I help with fireworks stand inventory.
Be right there. got there, helped with previous year inventory making sure counts were correct.
As I counted the inventory, straighten shelves, put things back where the labels were.
Found missed counted inventory on several mid priced items they missed last year.
Made adjustments to the counts, someone ego was bruised.
Came back out of building bathroom and coffee break to roaring argument.
Seems person with bruised ego didn't like his mistakes found and corrected.
This person made comment if she's working the stand count him out.
Me I never said word, kept straightening, counting.
What would have taken them 6 hours to do, I did in 3 hours.
Don't really know what to think about that. Hmm....
Seems some of the guys are tired of the BS going on at the American Legion Post.
They want some one in there that will tell them what's up.
The other gentleman that is up for the same position, left when I got there.
Told him point blank in front of witnesses, take his sexist remarks and keep them to himself.
Nobody wants to hear them especially me.
I told him if I heard those kind of remarks directed at any other woman, I would report him to the District Commander.
That didn't go over well either. He left.
Then they wonder why they can't get new members.
When female veterans ask point blank is Joe Blow still there as member. Most take a pass on joining the unit.
So I go back tomorrow, have coffee with the guys.
I don't want to cause trouble, but by the same token not taking the bologna either.
I served my country honorably, with pride.
Thanks for letting me vent.
