Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

"Selling snacks can be approved only with a designated cleanup person for each instance (not Steph or Tim). No exceptions." Then they can wrangle about the designated cleanup person until the whole issue is fixed or forgotten.

Actually, that's a good idea -- to say that if there isn't a designated cleanup person, then the snacks don't get brought out to sell. (Of course, the person volunteering to sell them -- but not clean up -- is a bulldozer of a human who will do what she wants anyway, so she'll bring them out to sell them regardless of my objections.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Barry Kellogg, senior veterinary advisor for The Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association, told HuffPost there are probably no long-term ill health effects of photocopying a cat, but that the cat probably doesn't enjoy the process all that much.

I'll sleep better now.

(No, I've never photocopied a cat.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yeah, buddy. Twenty fucking dollars. Tim said (to me, sarcastically) that he'd just donate that much every month if it meant we don't have to clean up.

Tell them what your hourly rate for janitorial work is. I suggest at least $20/hr. Each.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Conference call from hell.

I find myself needing to learn how to use Excel for it's intended purpose instead of just using it for sorting and layout. Should I go with a Dummies book?

Another board member just replied to the email chain saying "This seems like a lot of work for a tiny amount of money." So I've got her on my side.

I know it's going to be a moot point for me after May since I'm resigning, but I don't want Tim -- or anyone else who didn't agree to extra work -- to be stuck with it.

Stick to your guns, Tep. That's just stupid. No wonder you're frustrated; I'd be, too.
