00:00 - 00:03 | It's time to plan the next Foerster Family Vacation |
00:04 - 00:05 | We have several options |
00:05 - 00:07 | You suggested a houseboat on the Mississippit |
00:08 - 00:12 | We can rent them for $200 per person |
00:12 - 00:15 | It's just like old times when you had your houseboat |
00:17 - 00:19 | We should consider other options |
00:19 - 00:21 | How about a cabin on the lake |
00:24 - 00:26 | The problem is all the cabins are booked and not big enough for our large family |
00:31 - 00:33 | Chuck, nothing is big enough for our family |
00:34 - 00:36 | We can reserve weekdays in March or November |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone get out but Michael, Joe and Pat |
01:13 - 01:15 | Why is this so freaking hard? |
01:15 - 01:17 | I just want a Foerster Family Vacation! Like old times! |
01:18 - 01:23 | But now there are way too many people making the decisions! |
01:25 - 01:28 | And so here we go again. . . . |
01:29 - 01:31 | Every year we try to please everyone, but at what cost? |
01:31 - 01:34 | I tried to give people options, Houseboat or Cabin? This weekend or that one |
01:34 - 01:37 | But now we are mired in an email Shitstorm! |
01:37 - 01:40 | A or B? Why so much input? |
01:40 - 01:42 | But we need to make sure everyone can come to the vacation |
01:42 - 01:46 | Out of 3 generations? Dozens of families? Different budget concerns? |
01:46 - 01:48 | Surely we can find a cabin for free when everyone can make it |
01:48 - 01:52 | That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! |
01:53 - 01:54 | What am I to do? |
01:56 - 01:57 | I give people two weekends and they suggest more! |
01:57 - 02:00 | I say houseboat or cabin and someone suggests a bike ride? |
02:00 - 02:03 | I need to account for strong internet and 4g Cell phone signal! |
02:04 - 02:08 | And there must be a Catholic church nearby |
02:08 - 02:13 | All this on a perfect weather weekend with a low cost? |
02:14 - 02:16 | When all I wanted was a relaxing family vacation |
02:17 - 02:21 | And don't forget it needs to be equidistant for all families for driving |
02:27 - 02:29 | It's important to keep the family together |
02:30 - 02:34 | I welcome that responsibility |
02:34 - 02:36 | But it is impossible |
02:41 - 02:42 | More email chains will start over food and meal plans |
02:43 - 02:47 | And God help us if the place doesn't accept dogs |
02:48 - 02:53 | And now..... Everyone is hitting reply all. . . |
02:54 - 02:56 | I have a day job to do for State Farm |
02:56 - 02:59 | And all that's happening is my email is blowing up with one line responses |
03:00 - 03:02 | Someone's child has a dentist appointment and Marni has a wedding to photograph |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay Marni, we will keep your spot on the Chicken Club |
03:14 - 03:16 | I just wanted to drink Malibu and be on the water |
03:19 - 03:23 | I should just buy a dinghy |
03:25 - 03:26 | I might switch to vodka |
03:31 - 03:33 | Next year I will just formulate a poll for the family |
03:40 - 03:46 | Democracy at its best, let the masses lead the way |
03:46 - 03:49 | If people can come, then they will come |
03:53 - 03:56 | I tried my best, I can only hope everyone stops hitting Reply All |
