Load-In System for HM

 Here's the contents of the color-coded important packets for everyone for HM. There were three new big orange flags at my loading zone, not sure if that was true for all of them though I assume so.

I hate how much plastic crap we buy. Just not sustainable. And we all know these deep-dyed paper colors are not recyclable, really. Nor are gloss-finished papers I don't think. Of course we are not doing the sorting and recycling at HM anyway. 

I miss our values. 

Oh, and my row all got moved out from the wall a foot so the backs would line up, as some people did have bumpouts on their back wall. We got a notice that if we used that extra foot of space for anything, we would be charged $15 a week. My booth got moved down so my corner is actually in front of the fire extinguisher on the wall there, but of course we have 350 or so fire extinguishers in the building to supplement the sprinkler system.  

We also got a little piece of orange paper to put on our dashboard to prove what zone we were supposed to be in. 

*Someone* got a lot of praise for coming up with a brilliant solution that fixed the problem she created last year, by suspending our load-in system for the duration of HM, only to give it back pretty much the same as it was, this year, with just a bit less personal choice and a lot more attempt to control. 

All while we are seriously broke and in the red. 

I'm having panic attacks about the finances. I don't have official information I can share, but we should be getting a financial statement at the Annual Meeting on Sunday, December 14th, 9:00 am.  PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE FINANCES!
