As anyone who stumbles around my blog knows, I'm pretty involved with my local skating community. I'm that person that goes to skating competitions and does a lot of the "behind the scenes" work so that the skaters come skate and leave with a medal. About a month before any skating competition, skaters submit their entry forms, and me and my team gets together, does all the paperwork and computer stuff and then we show up at the rink on day one of the skating competition and we don't leave till all the skaters have skated. Judges have sort of the same gig, they prepare by studying rules and regulations, come to the rink and judge and don't leave till all the skaters have skated.
We do all the grunt work, and the hosting club gets all the money from the skaters entry fees. So lets make a deal shall we? We will continue to do our hours upon hours of grunt work, organize the judges, get together a schedule for the competition, and show up and be there all weekend in the rink freezing our butts of for no money, YOU will feed us decent well rounded meals, and never dare tell us we "should be lucky you're getting fed at all".
That was the case this weekend. Hours of grunt work, hours at the skating competition, and we never once got a proper meal to eat. Everything was dismal. No meat option, no protein, sparse servings, and food was only left out for short periods of time, in which case it was usually cold and usually "past its peak".
"You should be lucky you're getting fed at all"
My response?
"You should feel lucky we showed up"....
Next time? Not going to happen...
