She doesn't want to do it but needs to know

I am getting tired of this girls attitude, I will rip her face off. I texted her and said these 3 rabbits need to be booked in for spay neuter. She kept pushing it off, I said it again (as we wont adopt them out otherwise). Finally I said I will book them in as people are interested, she goes ok thats fine. I arranged with another shelter to get rabbits. She is going down with the girl, the other girl goes does she know. Well its none of her business. I am the one who does adoptions, surrender and intakes. I know what goes in the room and out. She really has no say, I know we have room *plus some* they already come fixed and equal out the vet bills she ran up the last few months. So if she wants to whine, she texts me a few minutes ago saying she is going down with this girl to see the place, and know where they come from (this is what covers our vet bills so shut your mouth).
She is real back stabbing type I can see it, or else she needs control because she can't control her volunteers who don't show up, or do anything.
Other shelters lean on us and they do us favours. She whines they send us aggressive rabbits, or sick ones well we get them adopted and save their life otherwise they would be euthanized. I can't even talk with her without her saying something rude, and ignorenent.

The thing about volunteers is they are doing the work for free they aren't obligated to show up there really isn't much anyone can do about that. As for wanting to rip her face off well it seems she really gets under your skin. Maybe you shouldn't work with the woman who upsets you that much if you can avoid it. Some people are just poop heads and there is nothing you can do except avoid them so they don't poop in your cereal and ruin your day. good luck with it all

We are all volunteers and I completely agree. But when all the animals go unfed for several days. Yet, she's too busy wonder what I am doing. I have been avoiding her, and it's been so nice. I woke up this morning to a text from her, saying what are we getting from this shelter. She is still mad from last week when I brought in a photographer and started doing things she claims she would do (and hasn't for months).

@lokisdad It does very much wear you thin. I was at a point where I would avoid the entire place, and anyone because not just her but everyone would lie and cause drama. She just needs control, I really think she has nothing else to control in her life now so this is all she has left. She is trying to control what is coming in and out, she knows nothing of how to handle it whereas I do all that. She contacted several shelters behind my back, and they refused to talk to her because I contact them. I just ignore her, I avoid her where I can. I am pretty sure she sees that too. She is trying to do so much and failing instead of saying can you help with this. I will do something and its not done right so I simple don't do it. She asked me to go to an event, and I said nope busy. She needs to realize I am not kissing her butt.

She should be grateful for the help and not be rude about it.

Thats how I see it as. She is in charge of the volunteers (making sure they feed, etc), yet she is too busy following me around telling me what I need to do, or making comments on things I do. I will flip if she says anything to this shelter today. We get fixed rabbits, she racked up a large vet bill then starts at me about it (she did it not me).

I really don't think this job is good for you. If you feel like ripping someone's face off, something really isn't right.

I'm tired of her not doing something she claims is her job, and I end up doing it weeks later. Yet, I arrange something (that is part of my title), and she needs to know everything. I got to the point I did nothing and left it on her plate so she ran around like a chicken with her head cut off, anything she asked me to do I was busy. She then had to go find someone else to help her, which she realized not everyone is willing to step up and do it.
