Yes, Oh Snarky One

ok, so am officially on the board at a local equestrian organization/show facillity now! Exciting though that is, I also find it a tad daunting.

First official meeting transpired this week and by then end I was left feeling both excited and ready to get to work yet, a little confused and peeved at the attitude of some of (ok ONE of) the other board members.

Now don't get me wrong I pretty much like everyone, really easy going and comfortable in a room of strangers or with everyone I know. This one person; however, kind of got to me. She was rude, as in flat out ignore me if I talk to her rude, and when I tried to make a suggestion towards one of her ideas she turned into Super SNARK.

She pulls out this cute horse border that she decides she wante to put up in the office of the show facility, it is VERY cute and a good idea... BUT the office has panelled walls and is neither heated nor air conditioned so it get the roughest of the harsh weather, AND it's super humid here ALL the time but even worse in the summer. So I bring these conditions into perspective, at which point "SUPER SNARK" decides to put me in my place. "My brother is a WALLPAPER EXPERT... BESIDES! I take hot steamy showers every day and MY wallpaper stays up JUST FINE." I did not respond to her snarkiness only thought to myself... ok DUMB ARS!! your HOUSE IS STILL CLIMATE CONTROLLED!!!! but I didnt, I just left it and when it comes off the walls I'll help clean it up.

I almost offered to draw/paint whatever they want on the walls because I've been know to do such things to the delight of others from time to time but I figure there's no use it would only anger "Oh, SNARKY ONE" and it would be a lot of time and work gone to waste if it is not wanted. Alas, I find my niche and my source of frustration in the horse world.

I am a little to nice I think because I'm not clickish noand I don't put weight in what a person owns but who they are as a person... Sigh, at least I only have to humor the Snarky One at board meetings once a month, I'm too busy at events to bother with Little Miss Snarky-pants.

Sometimes I wish I could just smack those kind of people though, they take the fun out of horse showing and turn it into a money fest and a dog eat dog atmosphere. That's part of why I stopped showing horses... It was fun though.. especially being a no name rider on a no name horse with hand me down equipment and show clothes and walking out with all the ribbons amidst the dumbfounded looks from wealthy trainers and riders... :0)
