Planning Next Year
I once hastily mentioned in my lj that I will be President of UCL Catholic Society next year (hastily mentioned as the Rob related stuff was far more interesting at the time - he's Treasurer by the way. Oh GOD), so I've been figuring out not only what to do next year, but how to make Fr Peter (the literal power behind the throne) think it was ALL HIS IDEA.
As far as I can tell, my 'job' consists of having no real religious views whatsoever so that while everyone else discusses THEIRS I can go off & do the paperwork.
This actually comes as somewhat of a relief, seeing as how I only barely JOINED the damn society last year because I don't regard myself as particularly religious.
I didn't want this job, you know. Neither did Rob. I'm pretty sure thats the only use of my feminine wiles on record (it was in our still-flirting stage). I think I would have headed for the hills if my predecessor, Gregory, had tried that when he convinced me to take up the post (yes I could have rephrased that. No, I didn't want to).
I can actually see Gregory being a bit of a problem next year. He was so successful at running the damn thing he'll still be perceived as being 'in charge'. And he'll enjoy it.
I think I can see a way out though. Harriet, for reasons which are in no way going to be made clear here, has volunteered to find speakers, talk to people outside, & generally usurp Gregory's official role as Communications officer, to prevent him keeping too much power. At the moment I'm encouraging a sort of arms race for speakers, to keep them both occupied, but also because I could do with some.
Gregory is also very popular with Fr Peter. However, there are bunch of us from Newman going on holiday next week & I've had Rob arrange matters so that the only people travelling with him from our group are myself & Rob. Gregory is not going on holiday.
Kevin is going to bitch & whine until I beat him about the head with the incredibly large crucifix in the seminar room (believe me, I've thought about it). The same goes for Sebastian & Claire. Any suggestions as to what to do with them? I could either lump them all in together & hope they kill each other (but then they could cause real trouble together if they use their heads) or I could keep them the hell apart & we'll all be miserable having to put up with them. Either way, I want to find three atheists by the end of the year.
I think I should stop reading my Discworld novels now & dig out my copy of The Prince, really.
