Political games or pure fools?

I cannot believe it!!!!!!

A approached me and Ad to help out in a religious leader event, we have to publish a commemorative book on our priest. Sounds like a great opportunity to service the church and most of all God right?

(whisper, dear God, pray that You will show us the "lessons" that You want for us to learn")

What we did not know is that A is a political leader more than a project leader, he can indulge 3-5hrs in lengthy meetings that often arrive at NO conclusions. For very busy people... It is seen as a waste of time.

So once the duties were allocated, we all took our parts seriously and attended to them.

Unfortunately, Ad and I are at the end of the processes... meaning WE HAVE to MEET the deadlines!! even if others took 4months to do their jobs of collections, compilations, design, layout etc... we still only have 8 weeks to deliver the full product!

Can you imagine organising dumping your whole life, work, friends, family just to attend to this project in these 8 weeks?

In any organisation, vetting process is important and often returns back severe changes and cuts to the product... in this book that we are planning, we expect no less of changes and amendments....

Are we expected to throw our lives AWAY AGAIN just so that others can take their own sweet time??

I cannot understand NOR believe what is happening at this stage.. we have prepared, printed, bound and even delivered the drafts.... and yet... A wants to hold back the draft for the priest's vetting....(WHY?????????) while B the "driver" of the project does not wish to speed up the process but rather wait.

Can they get into their heads that WE have a LIFE too??

We have traveling plans, we have friends, we have families, we have occasions to celebrate we also deserve to have some decent respect!

We are serving the church and God, why cant we be more transparent and honest with each other? Why the NEED for political games? This is about SERVICE and NOT about how good you are at the game!

ASSHOLES!
