Tonight I received an email with the corrected confirmation for our trial entry this weekend. Except it’s not actually corrected. We are supposed to be entered for both trials on Sunday, and both the original and “corrected” confirmation have us entered for both trials on Saturday. There was no additional information or explanation included, so I have no idea if we are confirmed for Saturday because there is no space on Sunday, or if we are confirmed for Sunday regardless of what the confirmation actually says.
I really don’t want to be too much of a bitch about it, because I’ve done the show secretary or trial secretary thing in the past and it’s a lot of work keeping everything straight, especially if you are doing it for a venue that requires you to take day-of-event entries. And I’m sure a phone call or yet another email will clear things up. But I really didn’t need One. More. Thing. to deal with on top of my usual massive case of ring nerves, or I guess at this point it’s actually pre-trial nerves.
On the bright side, Freya seems to once again have a good handle on the difference between left and right. So once again, I will probably be our team’s biggest problem in that regard. I keep reminding myself to look at the picture of the arrow on the sign instead of the words “left” or “right” and all will be well.
