Subject: Catching up....

Amazing how small things can stress you, and take up a heap of time. So this is mine. I belong to a writing group that meets once a month, 1st Thursday night. We have for some years now met in the home of one of our members who has a large rumpus room. We appreciate that he- D- has done that for the group, but he is also a super critical bloke, and you only stay on the good side of him as an individual or a group if things run the way HE thinks they should. So at the last meeting he pulled a super hissy fit, withdrew from the group,and thus we have lost his home as our venue.
With only 2 meetings left for the year, I've had to put in a heap of time searching for another venue, notifying members etc. (I'm Secretary of the group)I know this is only small in the scheme of things, but it has been stressy.
Good news is that one of the local community houses has offered us a room for our meetings. And 'D" can go stick his head in a bucket!
Ellie.

Sounds like "D" just liked YES MEN/WOMEN. Once it's all organised I bet you have much better meetings Ellie, without him and probably a few surprises amongst the group that held back because of him. I hope so.
It's a pain that you had to organise it all, that's a lot of work....

Ellie, I can sympathise. I've just joined a poetry group and the guy starting it up seems a little the same as the guy you described.

To make matters worse I turned up for a meeting today only to find it had been cancelled and nobody had rung me.
