Officer

As of this morning, I am the Web Editor for my college class. I saw the position was vacant when the call went around for nominations for class officer, but I figured that (a) I’m not the only geek in the class, and (b) I’ve got plenty to do. So I didn’t say anything. When the ballots were out, there were choices for most options, but that one just had a blank: no nominations. I left it blank.

I figure one person wrote my name in, and everyone else left it blank like I did.

I have a few guesses about who may have been the guilty party, and they can expect to be nominated for something in five years. What will depend on how tough this job turns out to be.

I would like to point out that you did not have to accept the position. :) Besides, you can make a much better website than the one they’ve got now. Besides, the real secret to leadership? Delegate.

Okay, you got me. I totally pretended to be a member of the clsas of 96 for the sole purpose of making sure you wouldn’t come anywhere close to slacking in the near future. And anyway: it’s only a first step. Just wait to see what other write-on ballots I’ll put you on. You wouldn’t mind taking on a political office or two, right? I mean, you’re practically already a foreign diplomat with that sponsored trip to Japan and all…

Not accept the position? When they stroke my ego like that? Clearly I’m being confused with someone more rational. And may I assume, Ms. F, that you were thereby exercising leadership in delegating this task to me? I don’t recall seeing your name on the ballots…

Now why would I go and do a thing like that? It’s not like you already have a website that you work on related to the college or anything, or really have much experience with this sort of thing…:)
