Default Re: Least Favorite Part of Work

Having to the rely on the compliance and follow through of people other than myself.

I work as an enrollment liaison for a summer camp I'm also a counselor for. My job is basically to find around 200 kids from the LA area who qualify as being low-income (not hard to do) and set up and run presentation in which I can pitch to them the idea and opportunity of going to camp.
Now, whenever I have HAD a presentation, its gone astoundingly well and a majority of those present decide to sign up at the end. BUT, the hardest part of the whole process is just getting the chance in the first place.
School Principals are non-compliant douchebags, directors of Boys and Girls Clubs are self-centered and unmotivated twats, and city council members are bureaucratic sloths.
It's no wonder so many kids never get to experience camp, or get a chance to leave the slums for a while, or receive the attention and care that they all crave for and need to develop into a self-confidant individual.
Administrators are jacked.
