twixes come in handy

twixes come in handy of course because tension reigns. each group (GOTV, advancement, phone banking, press, political, compliance) has its own problems and desires and often think that they are the most important people in the operation. most people get along pretty well, but there is a lot of snapping going on as things invariably go south (an event where the venue decides they don't want to host the event(danny glover! christie brinkley!)). sometimes i'm not sure if people are just jokingly laying into someone or they really are being mean.

today there were definitely some mean points. but people are trying to avoid killing each other. today there were some flash points like one user pulling out the chord that connected a whole bunch of people to a GOTV database. and she was mad at me for interrupting her phone call.
