How the hell did Krista do that?

I can't freakin' believe it. We did our first ever big event at our primary youth center and it was all thanks to Krista. Took 8 weeks to arrange something that should take a few days, due to foot-dragging, confusion, and incompetence on the part of our local 'boss', but it finally got done. We did an environmental day involving a drawing competition, a presentation by an NGO, intense cleaning, a mural painting, and a small party. 

Part of the reason why we did this was because our boss likes to complain about how dirty the Dar Shebab is and how nobody who uses it takes responsibility for its cleanliness. Well, I just found out why it's so dirty. At the beginning of the year, she was offered 2000 dh worth of cleaning supplies or the cash, ostensibly to fix whatever needs fixing. She claimed she would fix the lights and plugs with the money. They haven't been fixed. So I guess she pocketed the money. 

Or how about this one: today she knocked over and broke a big tv while trying to close the window. Turns out, she stole the tv from the other Youth Center. And who did she blame?
1. the person who put the tv where it was
2. Krista, for leaving some of the supplies in the office making it oh-so-cluttered
3. the person who built the room and put the window where it was

Talk about avoiding responsibility. For weeks, every time a single thing hasn't gone quite right she's tried to cancel the event. Well, Krista: 1 Boss: 0.
