Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen

Annoyed, agitated and sick of people, these words all describe how I feel.

I love to plan events, but when you have too many people trying to plan one event it becomes a mess and a problem. I don't mind working in a group, but honestly you don't need 5 people to plan one event. Two at the most is all that is needed.

Venting....I was hired on to support the executive staff and plan the events. If I had known planning these events would mean working with way too many people, most of which have no opinions for themselves I would not haven taken this job.

Please understand...I am very grateful to have a job. Overall, I enjoy being here and love what I do. On the real though, working with these five people for this one task really needs to end. I will pray, universe please guide me and these fools in the right direction.

Something that really irritates me is this....just because your boss says something does not mean you have to agree with them. Learn how to speak up and stop being a damn follower/ass kisser. I tell my boss when I don't agree, of course I say it respectfully but he appreciates that. We have found a happy medium, we have gone with his thought or we have gone with mine. Either way, I don't just agree with him because he is my boss.

Key rule in planning, know your audience. I know the audience well, simply because they are associates and or friends of mine. They tell me what they want and I can't implement what my audience wants because a certain person feels we have done this before. Does not matter if we have done it before, you can change up what you have done by adding another element, turning the idea into an actual theme.

I have several ideas that would make this event nothing like what we have had before even though one part of the entertainment is something from the past.

Point of this vent/blog today is.....THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN for this one event and I'm sick of it.
