Oh, Humane Society, Up Yours!

I went to a meeting with Michael on getting certified to help oiled wildlife...... and it was a complete runaround waste of time. Most of the talk was dominated by this Otho-like guy from the Humane Society of Louisiana, who was very condescending and negative. He acted like everyone was there to live out some kind of Snow White cuddle-the-pelicans

That sucks. Too bad you didn't have a bagel stick to cram down his throat. What a poopoohead.

That's just ridiculous. What the hell was the point of the meeting then? Was it just to make people more frustrated? I'm sorry you had to deal with this.

lord almighty man, this volunteer work thing is a clusterfuck. the last time i tried to do something, i realized that i had driven 2 hours for nothing. like literally, nothing. there was nothing for me to do. and it's not because like, they just didn't have enough stuff for me to do at that moment, it was more like they had overstaffed volunteers to do ONE task that was very, very simple. i felt condescended to. they were like, "make sure you write down the name of whoever delivers the birds, and the biologists will call you!" um, there was another volunteer there to write down the name of the ONE guy who dropped off a bird, and there were also 2 paid workers there whose job seemed to be nothing more than standing around waiting for a guy to drop off a bird and write down said guy's name. it was ridiculous.

It seemed like he felt that if all these people got certified, then he wouldn't be Mr. Special Expert come down among us mortals to Save the Animals.yeah i'm getting that feeling from a lot of people, too. maybe it's
