We are at that point in history when GREAT and INSPIRED LEADERSHIP
is called for. And to my dismay, today I found a complete lack of it.
Let me digress to last Wednesday, when our great and fearless
leader Mr. Gallegos, called me to see if I would be on the ride this
Sunday. I told him I didn't know. That we may be at the lake on
Sunday. I asked why, . He said so someone could lead the group. But
he said not to worry because our co leader Mr. Tyler would be there
to lead the group.
Back to Sunday at the donut shop. The group is there and we even
wait untill 7:07 to leave because we are waiting for the group LEADER
to arrive, but alas no Mr. Tyler. So being the dumb shit that I am, I
lead the group to breakfast, and since I was not prepared to lead, I
over shot the exit by one exit, and have to turn around and come back
to the correct exit. Arriving at the restaurant who do we fined in
the parking lot, but our co leader Mr. Tyler.
Now co leader Mr. Tyler is trying to give us a lame excuse that he
was late because he was trying to glue a part back on his bike,(can
you imagine a beemer breaking, as he laughs up his sleeve)
Now one would think a great and inspired co leader would have
fixed his bike the night before, or got up in time to repair his
bike, or do what he at long last, and finely did, alas too late,
just leave the part home. Because he had to lead the group to the
Silver Spur restaurant, knowing that no one would know where the
restaurant is. Did he stop at the donut shop? No, he just blows
right by, never checking to see if the group would leave late because
they were waiting for the co leader to arrive. He's doing 75 miles an
hour to the restaurant, so fast the group never had a chance to catch
him.
Inside the restaurant is Dave and Bunny. They had arrived in
Dave's mothers car,(Mommy can I barrow the car? No matter how old
they are they still want the car). Dave said his key would not work
in his car. (just too cheap to buy gas when he could get his POOR
mother to buy the gas).
At the table there was talk of me getting the boot, because we had
left late, waiting for our co leader as long as we could, and going
past the exit and having to come back. If I would have known that I
was going to lead, I would have checked for the right exit. Instead
of saying how lucky it was that I had made the ride, so I could get
the group to the Silver Spur and not have them lost, our co leaders
were actually talking of me getting the boot.
Great leaders do not try to push off their blunders on the poor
grunts in the trenches.
I would like the other members of the Sunday Morning Breakfast
Club to let our leaders know how inappropriate talk like this is.
