I went, and I swear I feel like the biggest misfit at almost every school thing I go to.

Ugh, that sucks so hard. One of the requirements for adulting is basic social interaction. Pretend like you are decent human beings and say hi and how's the weather! You can be a shitlord in private all you want!

Hot tip of the day: if you're going to pen not one, but TWO nasty emails in response to an account services change notice, for an account that you apparently signed up for in the last 15 years (and used, btw, we can check these things), maybe, just maybe, you ought to clearly read the notice. Because then you would realize it was not from the institution your org clearly lost funding support from in a now-apparent-to-us acrimonious fashion. Way to go director of operations at XXX, you just made an ass of yourself in a very small professional community.

I would dearly love to respond politely as fuck pointing out the mistaken identity, but radio silence is clearly the best path.

I don't get the people in your community. Everyone needs a msbelle! Dumbasses.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Seriously Rebecca, just tell yourself they are being jackhats and try to practice the fine art of letting go. It is kooky non-sense-making to me why anyone would give your awesomeness the brush off. But I have so been there. One mom at my daugther's former school gave me the "I am ignoring you" haughty face and turned away when I saw her at an event at another school. I almost laughed, it was so over the top, but I thought she'd take it the wrong way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People are the worst.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

People are the worst.

And they're EVERYWHERE.

...I dunno I think any way she would take that would be the right way. Because WTF.

Very WTF, but I guess sometimes no one acts more junior HS than the parents.

Laughing would totally have been the correct response.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I wish he would have just one friend whose parents were my people.

Good news is that there was apologizes from both sides tonight and he did what I asked him this evening.
