Jaz is Going to Flip a Shit.
Seriously. I am going to flip a shit. I mean...this is such fucking bullshit it's not even funny. It's fucking disgusting. Fuck. So I'm part of this program run by the NAACP. It's called ACT-SO and it's pretty much one big program run over the course of several weeks leading up to a local competition that ultimately chooses the competitors for the national competition. The categories range from dance to biochemistry to original composition and beyond. I competed in Short Story and Photography last year and I'm doing the same two this year. Short Story is only judged on the local level so I can't go to Nationals for it. However, last year I went to Nationals for Photography last year (didn't place last year) and I plan on doing the same this year. However, there's one little hindrance that I need to get rid of first.
So there's a coach for each category (pretty much) so that the competitors have some sort of guidance for making whatever they're doing the best that it can be. Last year there wasn't really a Short Story coach so I kind of just did whatever and it turned out well for me. For Photography, there's this useless, pathetic excuse for a photographer masquerading as a coach. He was completely worthless to me. I went to nationals without using a single picture that I was forced to take over the course of the program. So I pretty much ignored him this year because he grates on my nerves like no other. So I sent him the pictures that I would be choosing my competition photos from by the deadline (yesterday) and then he emails me back (after I'd already gotten off of my computer, according to the timestamp) saying that he needs me to send him the specifics of the pictures (i.e. what camera/lens was used, where, etc.). Last year, I wasn't required to send any of this. He also asked me for my bio and my picture (to put into the program book). This wasn't so much of an issue.
However, when I went to drop off my Short Story submission on Saturday, I specifically asked one of the women in charge of the ENTIRE program whether or not duplicates of my bio/picture were needed. I'd printed out two copies of each since I was competing in two categories. She assured me that only ONE copy was needed of each and so I left it at that. When I emailed my "coach" her response, he claimed that he still needed one. Why the FUCK should I listen to you when you're a (barely capable) "coach" and she's the one who actually knows what the fuck is going on. So continuing with the bullshit, I get an email today from him telling me that I won't be allowed to compete in Photography this year because "you have failed to provide them in a timely manor thus the decision had to be made". Get the fuck out of here with that.
This motherfucker needs to quit power tripping like he's somebody. Furthermore, he claims that "the process" (what process?) has been the same for five years. Yeah, okay. If this so-called "process" has been the same for 5 goddamn years, then why the fuck didn't you ask me for the specifics of my photos last year? Fucking hell.
Motherfuckers are messing with my money. So my dad and I are going to have a meeting with this douchenhausser and the director of ACT-SO on Monday to sort this shit out. I refuse to let the gold medal to some wannabe photographer who walks around with their little shitty point-and-shoot and they don't even know what the fuck it means to use the Manual setting on a camera, let alone what ISO does for a picture. This is such bullshit.
And the bitch can't even spell my name right. Fuck outta here...
