The one with the hypocrites

Well... I dare say that my last post received quite a bit of attention, which happens to be exactly what I was going for. So... I WIN!

The house... is a house. We wrapped up the sheet rocking today, and its a damn good thing because I was about to go nuts. Hopefully we can REALLLLLLYY move things along now. It actually exciting.
SO here is my  ( and may others) latest complaint for the class. First off... I am 23 years old. I do not need someone to tell me when I have to show up, and that I HAVE to be there, and that I HAVE to sign up for so many spots a week. Hell no. But, I understand why it had to happen.. however, here is the real problem. Certain people in our class are so hypocritical! Don't bitch at me and everyone else and tell me how many hours I HAVE to work, and then you don't even  bother to show up for like...I don't know.. an entire day. Oh.. and a Saturday ( and/or Sunday) at that.... You know.. the day at the end of the week where we are ALL supposed to be there at 8:00 AM- not to be confused with 1:00 PM. Now, I realize that things come up and people have things to do ... and that is totally cool, but all we ask is that you just call and say .. hey, I'm gonna be late or Im not going to make it. That's it. I mean, I got stuck in Shreveport last Saturday night, but I called 2 different people to be sure they knew where I was, and I was back in Ruston and at the house before 9:30 Sunday morning.  Also-- some people tend to have a nasty habit of ALWAYS being late... and then they make up shitty excuses about why they are not where they are supposed to be. Its crap.. and its been going on ALL year long, and it has always annoyed me, but I shrugged it off, because I know some people are just completely incapable of being on time. So whatever. But I dare you.. tell me.. or anyone else for that matter... that I HAVE to do something- especially when you cant even abide by your own rules. I am not a 4 year old... so don't treat me like one.

Now, on a good note. I feel like I have been successful in helping habiTECH successfully communicate with both HFH and the community. Its nice- Its something I have worked hard for. I enjoy having people tell me that they enjoy my update emails... I wandered if anyone even read them, but in the last 2 weeks 3 HFH members have contacted me to tell me they appreciate them. At least I know that have been directly responsible for helping to fulfill one of our class goals.
