Okay, I shoulda had dinner instead of peanut M&Ms and ice cream.

But a sugar binge seemed like the proper response to being called a liar liar pants on fire.

I think I want a turkey sandwich. I can't think of a convenient place that's still open that I could get one. Hmmm.

It sounds like the proper response to me, but I haven't been very good with my eating habits lately.

I actually feel pukey and have a headache.

Next time I'll have the turkey sandwich BEFORE the sugar binge.

(I keep typing "turkey" as "turnkey." What is my subconscious trying to tell me??)

Teppy, O.M.G.

I would expect the board to tell these idiots to go fuck themselves. Or at the very least, make a clear pronouncement that this sort of behavior is unacceptable in your organization, especially from its officers.

If that doesn't happen then obviously these idiots have frightened all the sane people away, and you'd best be rid of them.

Those people write worse than I do.

Perhaps you should have sent them the definition the word volunteer?

And honestly, I really don't see why you can't have your own group. Non-work groups get together because they care about X. There will be conflicts, but you put up with things to a point. But people join, people leave , groups form, groups disinigrate, some times they even shift their focus.

and I really can't get over the fact that volunteers are treated so poorly. Volunteers have no obligations. Idealy, they will do what they say they will, but that is far from the way it works. and there are ways to get rid of poor volunteers. but no organization can get away with treating volunteers so poorly.

I know you are angry, teppy, but I am giving them the new england stare and blink of utter disbelief and contempt. - you all know the look. It is the one where mom gives you that one more chance to say " i really didn't mean to say that" When she know perfectly well that you did say it and there are consequences.

Well, the Board is 3 people, because there has been a lot of attrition due to assheadedness like what I'm going through. Group President is on the Board, along with 2 other people.

Committee Chair is NOT on the Board, but he wants to be, very much so. Committee Chair and Group President do, in fact, have their own personal agenda, and they're using their positions to pursue that agenda. It's bullshit, but not much different from what any group (kink or vanilla, book club or encounter group) goes through at one point or another.

So, even though any rational person can see that what Committee Chair said to me is unacceptable bullshit, since he's in cahoots with Group President (no homo), there might not be any repercussions.

Which, like I said, will just prove that this is not a group I want to be a part of any longer. We'll see if/how anyone responds.

Y'all were talkymeat today.

I started to do a meara, but it was too much. So I shall sum up...y'all are the good kind of crazy while everyone else is just plain craxy. Oh, and Steph's asshats need a clue by four.

Another thrilling night in Boise. Wheeeeeeeeee. K-Bug's high school team won their first game (pre-season). She played all game in right and had some great catches. It was cool hearing her so excited, I'm trying not to kick myself for missing it.

The very next year In-Sink-Erators will be plastered with warning labels saying: "FOR FOOD DISPOSAL ONLY: DO NOT USE TO GRIND UP HUSBAND, NO MATTER HOW BIG AN ASS-HAT HE IS"

I half expect a real warning to appear after the story about the lawsuit following the Heroes premiere.

Maybe MM's warning could be made to steer the insanely stupid to the cops...

"Warning: This device is not certified for disposal of human remains. Please consult your local authorities for guidance. In-Sink-erator cannot be responsible for mis-use of this product."

I'm always amazed how much bureaucracy voluntary groups saddle themselves with--boards, committees, reports, etc. I know that coordinating a bunch of people to a common end does take some level of bureaucracy, but it always seems to get so complicated it becomes work, which one should get paid for, instead of fun.
