The
Committee Member By Ken
Shiovitz 5/03 Here we go again with the introductions… Sure enough, he’s starting the other way around the table… Looks like nearly everyone showed up, including… Who are they? Look even newer than me… At least I know my name…can’t
screw that up… Funny, everyone says their name in a different pitch or
rhythm… Here comes my
turn…Hell, the Administrator just
walked in… A problem with security?
How absurd! Of course we
shouldn’t waste $30,000 on a private guard! Vandalism in the bookshelf right next to mine? We should hire two
guards! I keep raising my hand but he never calls on me… Did he forget my name? Maybe I’ll just blurt out the facts…it’s important enough… Hoo-ooh, Shirley really got burned for that blurt! She’s always saying things without thinking! These people don’t have a clue…always thinking of
themselves… Can’t that chairman keep control? We all have
opinions you know! Ah, at last some sanity…everyone
gets one minute to expound… Damn, again he
starts the other way! I can’t believe Shirley cut in again! That-woman-drives-me-nuts! Now they are arguing about protocol! I-am-going-to-explode! Calm…calm...keep smiling…no, just keep smiling… Damn, that hurt! I
think it’s bleeding... Everyone is going to see my lip bleeding! Suck it under the top teeth…count to fifty… Damn, it’sh my turn and I can only shake my head! Dey shink I have noshing to shay… I hate thish committee!
They are a bunch of inshenshitive jerks! I could sholve thish in a minute if I were chairman… Firsht chance I get, that guy ish going to get shlammed! We’ll show him how
to run a committee! |
