So I signed up for tree decorating this year. The group leader introduced us all as normal. We handed out contacts and stuff on print offs. I've done this before and never had an issue. People naturally group up together. And as normal I introduced myself and tell them if they need any help they can let me know.


Later I got a text from one of the volunteers. I upset them and I'm not sure if I'm in the wrong or not. I feel like I'm not. I could be wrong though. I've done this tree decorating thing for years now and I don't really want to get banned. Should I apologize to her for being rude or inform the group leader about a possible issue?

@Vozzy:
We're all one team. I can try and avoid her as much as possible. However eventually I'll have to work with her. I'm going to discuss it with our group leader Sunday and see what she says. Luckily our group leader is friends with my aunt and has known us for over a decade. So I'm not too afraid of getting kicked off as much as I am for possibly being way out of line.
It feels like I'm walking on a field of land mines sometimes.

But there's always the possibility I get kicked off. It's a shame because we're doing a weird tree this year for a seafood restaurant. It's going to be made of lobster traps and giant rubber prawns. Lobster trap tree. It's a thing apparently. Last year we did a tree for a dental office. Hopefully I get to stay on the roster list.


This is the one I decorated for myself last year. :D

@Qiqi Agatha:

I had to step down from the larger projects this year. My brother's house burned down on the 14th. It's been a hellish mess. I cannot even begin to explain the amount of chaos there is with dealing with a house fire caused by a car that the company manufacturers knew was shady. Additional the harassment from the manufacturers trying to get you to sign stuff to shut you up.
I don't even feel comfortable openly saying their name because their legal teams have us all terrified.No one can get in contact with the insurance representative. The contractor needs the utilities turned off but the city won't until they get permission....from themselves? Idk this investigation is huge. It's deemed a crime scene because of the stupid car. Everyone is living with me now. I've been sleeping on the couch.

But I digress. Yes I'm still decorating trees. I'll just be in charge of private home decorating. Family Christmas parties. Personal office decor.

0h FUDGE @Vampiretaco: , I'm so sorry about your brother's place burning down due to corporate greed. That's scary about his car exploding! I really hope you guys get the justice that's needed. It's too bad that lawyers are expensive, I truly feel that your family may need one, since the insurance companies will not be fair about this situation. That's horrible. *huggs* Hopefully, your family can fight them

That tree is so gorgeous and the Holiday seasons are here. Congrats on you branching out to professionally decorate Christmas trees! Sending you good and Successful vibes! Your tree looks professional
