At the caving meeting last Thursday I finally rid myself of the position of Secretary. There are two positions that it seems no one wants, and these are President and Secretary. I think its because these are the only two positions that involve any real work. At least the president gets to be the contact person for the entire grotto on matters of actual caving. The secretary's job is all more or less bland.

Anyway, I've been the secretary for two years now and this time I respectfully declined my re-nomination. And by "respectfully" I mean that I said, "no way in hell."

My only real job as secretary was to take minutes at the meetings and then get them sent out to the email list before the next meeting. Some how this is really quite dull and the only way I could spice it up was to make the minutes into humor experiments.

Anyway, after annoucing my retirement from the secretary post in the minutes that I sent out on Friday, I got several emails from grotto members telling me they enjoyed my humorous take on the minutes and that they'll miss it. That felt good. :)

Still the class clown.
