Yes, thank you, I think I'd like to do that.....

Interesting things happen when you get handed a multi-million dollar budget to be responsible for. Well, interesting things happen to ME when it's put in my hands. Mostly, I try like heck not to offer up impertinant and insignificant information to the person handing it to me....you know, unimportant things like "Look, I don't even bother balancing my own freaking checkbook!! HELLO?!?! Are you NUTS????!!!!" Oh, no, no, no--contraire--I simply nod and thank them kindly--like I KNEW my name would be on the financial folder to begin with....

"YES, thank you, I think I'd like to do that." Now, there's a line I've been practicing for what seems like forever! Wiseperson had me practicing that cuz I was a selfish snot--volunteering was not my idea of a good time. Putting myself out there to be of help to anyone wasn't on my agenda. I had better things to do with my time than sweep floors and make sure coffee pots were cleaned, or to be NICE to people, or helpful..or kind and thoughtful. No, no, I had much better things to do....like.....heck if I know, but there HAD to be better things to do than any of THAT!

Nowadays it's seemingly more along the lines of "yes, thank you, I think I'd like to HELP to do that". Need something done, I'll do it--ALL of it, all by my lonesome. And it'll be a standup job of it, too, dangit! Oy....Go figure I'd move from one extreme to another. I still have problems with moderation. All or none--sometimes that's still SOP for me.

The good news? Not once did I think of writing myself a whopping check and getting the heck outta Dodge! LOL
But now that I mention it.......

LOL

Okay, okay...so it's "yes, thank you, I think I'd like to do that."

It's just a few million dollars of someone elses' money! Easy peasy!
