These people are going to drive me freaking insane

I'm on our small consortium's conference planning committee. The conference is next week on Friday. We give an award every year to someone who has lots of service to the consortium. Sometime around January, our committee came up with maybe three people that were deserving and the head of the committee took it to the directors meeting. She came back with a name. We all said great choice, because this person (Boss Lady, actually) does a lot for the consortium and is a great all around worker. Fine. It's all decided.

Flash forward to our last meeting, a couple weeks ago. We're setting final deadlines. I say I'd like to know by the 25th what we're going to say on the award plaque so that I can order it. Everyone agrees. Committee Head went to the big cheese meeting the 22nd and e-mailed me afterwards to let me know that the big cheeses think maybe M should get the award. M is just as deserving as Boss Lady, so I say okay, figure out who's getting the award and I'll order it Monday.

Monday Boss Lady wasn't there and I had ANOTHER e-mail, this one saying let's give them both awards, yay!!!!! Fine. Like I said, they're both equally deserving, so why not, what the hell, as soon as Boss Lady returns she'll give me the files she used for having the award made and we're good.

Today, Boss Lady returned. She gave me the files containing the award setup. All I'd have to do is swap out last year's winner's name with M and Boss Lady and run on down to the engraver's. I send a copy to the Committee Head saying here's what they usually go with, so this is what I'll give the engravers, okay?

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got an e-mail from Committee Head saying she's found nice glass paperweights that can be done with one day turnaround and she thinks they'd be a nice touch. As well as the plaque? Instead of the plaque? GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For fuck's sake, people! Pick ONE thing and stay with it!!! Why can't we keep this simple?! So, this is driving me freaking nuts, trying to figure out what the hell we're doing before tomorrow, the absolute last minute I will wait before ordering the plaques.

You know, Friday the Husband is headed out to help move his cousin. I can't go because they're leaving at 8 and I have a meeting for this group to do last minute things before the conference. I am sooooo tempted to say fuck it, family emergency and miss this meeting, because I might lose my shit if I go. Bastards. I need ice cream tonight at knitting, I do believe. I might need mimosas for this meeting. Who knows?
