How is she having a go at you? She says she didn't reply and you weren't notified, so how would you know not to come in? Are you meant to be fucking psychic.

I find it hilarious that she's feeling pressured by your desire to help out. Apart from volunteering for clean up after floods I have never been in a situation where there were too many volunteers and they weren't desparate for more.

She already got pissed at me because I asked about a rule change since I volunteered there my senior year of high school. She accused me of trying to the break the rules to get hours. I was simply trying to find out what the rules were so that I wouldn't break them.

That rule, by the way, involved volunteers coming in whenever they wanted and reading to, playing with, or going on walks around the center with the kids. It was allowed then, but nowadays, under the new management (her), it's no longer an option. Since I asked, she's acted suspicious of me whenever I work alone with a kid or go get one for an activity.
Oh, you take the high road, and I'll take the low road...

My mother did not CHOOSE life. She planned for it.

Is that weird monkey-creature-looking-thing supposed to be a BLACK MAN?

That woman seems like a dick.

Usually asberger's related non-sense is what annoys me the most. I have a lot of "I'm not psychic" moments with people who seem to think I can just get things. I mean, my roommate and I have been having issues with each other since semester began because he just seems like he's a universe away from me. Though it might be that it's been a while since I've had to deal with someone really...

The material needs a defender more than the spiritual. If there is a higher power, it can defend itself from the material. Thus denotes 'higher power'.

THIS. I miss most social things, and even though all my friends know I've got Aspergers they seem to forget how it works.

I avoid most social events and things because I just can't handle the crap that comes with it. It's taxing mentally and emotionally often with little or no reward.

Time to go up the food chain and go to her boss.

She is the boss. She runs the volunteer program, and I don't know who officially outranks her.

There probably is someone above her.  I'd go find out who she reports to and file a complaint.

Ironbite-this woman....is unfuckingbelievable.

Christmas music, everywhere. I'm sick of it already, and it's only been a few days after Thanksgiving.

When I hear it in a store before Halloween, I have an immediate reaction of "I want to murder every manager in this store."

Managers often don't have any say in what type of music is played. Corporate will send them orders that they must follow, or risk being reported. At my mom's old store, they had zero control of the music. As in, there was no adjusting volume or anything, and it played 24/7, even after they closed and left the store.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Good thing I don't tend to listen to the voices when they say "Murder" then.

There is little point in going to my Spanish class today because it mostly consists of a retake of a quiz that most people failed. I don't need to retake it. But if I don't go, my attendance looks shoddy and won't help my grade much.

Just do what I did in situations like that:  Sit quietly and read a book or draw on something.  Preferably not the desk, of course.  :p
