Making me Angry

Tweet

As most of you know I had to have an internship this summer to be able to graduate from college. Well the internship I got is great and I love doing and I love my supervisor and all the volunteering and people I met so far through it. Well, all of you know that I am supposed to be planning nutrition/wellness events for the pop-up farmer's market but it isn't going well at all. I planned my first even for June 16th. It was a cardio dance class and it went great. It was hosted by the YMCA and a good amount of people showed up. Well, it looks like this is the only event I will get planned this summer for my internship. I have contacted the guy at the extension service through phone and email and finally, after a month of me trying to contact him, he called me back just to tell me he would call me back when he got to the office. Guess what I waited for a callback and got nothing. I recontacted him this Monday through phone and email and it is now Friday and still no reply back. I got an email from my supervisor this morning with a forwarded email of an event he was doing for the Regional Farmer's Market this upcoming Thursday and told me that if I felt like I could drop by in person since he won't contact me back. He is doing 30 minutes of a nutrition class and 30 minutes of a Zumba class. This is the kind of event we are looking for at the pop-up market so we aren't asking for anything crazy or out of the way. My supervisor even emailed him and didn't get a reply. She told him that if he just didn't want to do it just let us know and it wasn't that big of a deal if he didn't want to but to just let us know. I will be going to his event on Thursday to contact him in person and once and for all get an event planned or I won't be having any more contact with him at all afterward. He is really pissing me off. The lady from the health department told me they couldn't do anything until after their meeting. She first told me the meeting was June 12th and to contact her back after that. Well, I did just for her to tell me that the meeting wasn't until the 19th. Well, I emailed her Monday on the 19th to tell her I was checking in about when they could do an event and it is now Friday and no reply from her either. I emailed her again this morning and got an automated reply telling me she would be out of the office from June 22nd - July 6th. I don't know she couldn't tell me what I needed in the 2 days before she left for vacation when she knew in advance that I would be contacting her again on that day. Now I don't know if I should contact someone else and if I do who that person would be or if I just wait till she returns. I asked my supervisor and I am waiting for her to get back to me on that. I sent another email to the woman at the YMCA on Tuesday as well to do another event and told her that the next two Fridays were available for an event and no reply so far. My mother was going to a local Zumba place and I am going to contact her when she gets back into town about doing an event. My mother said she would probably love to do one since she doesn't work during the week and will be available. It would be great advertising for her business as well. I will also be contacting the lady at the hospital to see if they will be willing to come out and do a blood pressure or regular basic check up for an event. I will be angry/disappointed if they say no since they are doing them for the Regional Farmer's market. All of this is making me really angry and frustrated. I feel like I am letting my supervisor and the DDC down. They are paying me to plan these events and I can't get any planned because no one wants to answer me. I know it isn't mu fault since I am trying to contact them and they aren't replying. I can't control others actions but it makes me feel like it makes me look bad because I can't get the events planned. It makes me angry just because I am trying my best to get some planned, I am volunteering at three places my supervisor set me up with and have volunteered to work every event the DDC has planned or will be at while I am home for the summer.
