Sometimes I wonder

Honestly, this is my gripe session. I started to post it on facebook and thought maybe not.
I wonder what goes through peoples brains when they say they will "coordinate" something then do everything but. If you are a food coordinator or a party coordinator, that does not entitle you to a personal secretary. Not in this business anyway. I have my job to do and plenty of it, the director has her job to do and plenty of it, the parent coordinator has her job to do and plenty of it. We assigned these other duties because we dont have the time to fool with it. Tehy are two things PARENTS want - not crew. so why is that you have everyone's email addresses and if you cant figure it out, you have a million gazillion you can tag onto (hit reply all and change the subject line), and you cant send a freakin' email????
I and a select others, don't need to receive emails saying "can you send this to all the parents..." "can you let the parents know...." "can you forward this" or my favorite - not even asking but TELLING me to do it. COME ON, in the length of time it took you to send me that - you could have sent it to everyone. I dont need to be the coordinator or the middle man. The Producer and Parent Coordinator are NOT your personal secretaries to call at 6:30 am and walk all over. If you are unable to do the job you volunteer to do - step down, dont volunteer for it again - PLEASE.
Okay done for now, needed to get it out even to just myself. Ahhh feel better.
