Me (at our meeting in November): ?Do we want to have a cluster meeting in December? In the past it's been hard because everyone is so busy".
Team: "No, of course we want to!!!! Let's do a cookie exchange"
Me: "Ok, if we do a cookie bake, can everyone bring something for the recipes?"
Team: "Great idea. This will be so fun!!!!"
2 weeks later, send out ingredients lists. 1 week ago, follow up. Yesterday, follow up again.
Meeting is in 30 minutes, house is clean, gifts are bought and wrapped for the team, and 3 of them TEXT me to tell me they aren't coming. 30 minutes before the meeting. Oh and of course their ingredients won't come either.
This is why I hate December meetings.
