I mentioned that we attended the awards reception for our son the other night. Well let me tell you...

This was a Baltimore County (big county) function and boy did they give a bad impression. It was late starting because they couldn't get the computer to work. That should have been tested hours before 200-plus people arrived.

Then they began the ceremony without the sound, held a longer than usual intermission because they still couldn't figure it out.

THEN

They did the most unbelievable thing!

They used two computers. One had sound, one had visual. They tried to coordinate the two and it was a nightmare which they wouldn't give up.

Every time they hit a new section, they had to try many times to get the two syncronized.

UNBELIEVABLE.

Anyone else bothered by this type of thing?

I really wanted to write a letter, but I know the woman worked very hard on her presentation and I felt so sorry for her. I figured if we were frustrated, she must have been mortified!

But honey...get your act together before people arrive!

I'm finished.
