You know, Aims, that's a lovely response, but my kneejerk response would've been to completely blow the fucker off. First off, it's a volunteer position, for which you give your free time, secondly, you are accountable to no one for what you choose to do with your free time. You could've been lounging on a beach in Barbados with Daniel Radcliffe feeding you peeled grapes while wearing nothing but his Equus costume and you still would have been under no obligation to turn that report in, one nanosecond before it's due.

Third, the guy's a complete cheeseweasel and has no right to infer that because you're on a break that you have nothing better to do.

Honestly, I'm so irked on your behalf, I swear there's steam coming out my ears.

I'm with Barb, Aims. If it's not due until June 30th, then you don't owe him (or anyone else) a reason why it's not yet done.

Someone needs to hit this fucker with a giant concrete water bottle, right in the nuts. Dude.

What everyone else is saying, Aims. Your council has given you a deadline. If asshat wants it sooner, let him take it up with the council.

Which, btw, not meant as a criticism of you at all, Aims. It was a great update. I'm just infuriated that you felt the need to address what's essentially a non-issue because of one guy who clearly has tiny peen issues and therefore needs to exert power in other ways.

Yeah, I think the only thing I would have done differently is included the council's deadline in your note.

Me, I'd have include McSquirtyPerv's name in there as the unreasonable requestor, but it's best that you didn't.

He did when it was just he and I in a dugout, DJ.

That's grosser even. I'd say predatory.

I have been pretty productive up until just now, but I suddenly got hit with a giant case of the donwannas. Boo.

You could've been lounging on a beach in Barbados with Daniel Radcliffe feeding you peeled grapes while wearing nothing but his Equus costume and you still would have been under no obligation to turn that report in, one nanosecond before it's due.

Your lips, honey. God's ears.

Which, btw, not meant as a criticism of you at all, Aims.

Never took it as one, sweetheart.

I addressed it this way at the behest of one of my co-leaders who said, "You put it out there that you are aware of the request and you ackowledge it needs to be done. That way, he can't rally any troops that you are ignoring request for financial transparency and try to insinuate with others that you are off shopping at the Coach outlet with the cookie money."

Also? I might have to start referring to him as McSquirtyPerv. Make that must, not might.

And also also???

My SiL is 3cm dialated, 70% effaced, and in the +1 position! But nary a labor pain yet! Let's hope my nephew makes his appearance this week!!
