Happy to hear that my experience in non-profits was not unique.


One of these days I should write a book about it.

Question: It's 2 am, a dead opossum is stuck in the main drain for the property and the water is rising during a once in a decade storm. What do you do?

Answer: Wade neck deep into the water, with a stoner tripping on mushroom holding a light, then stab it with a crowbar until the water pressure flushes it down.


And the stoner tripping on mushrooms was you, but you didn't realise it wasn't someone else at the time? :)

Maybe you could turn it into a movie script, something like 'Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas'?

Glad to know you didn't get sucked down too, neck deep water draining has some crazy strength. I'm sure that was quite a magical experience for Flashlight Stoner as well!


“One of these days I should write a book about it.”

Please do!


Was that part of chairman duties?


That crowbar was basically my badge of office. So many uses. Removing asbestos, evicting crackheads, opening windows, finding a hidden room behind a fake wall.

The reason you're getting downvoted is because we avoid reddit-esque cookie cutter jokes like that on here. They don't add much to the discussion and lower the signal to noise ratio.


Knowing a little about who you're replying to, I don't think he needs a lecture.


Knowing nothing about them, or the comment - everyone makes mistakes, and the community agreed this was one.


I'm not sure what you mean by that.

In any case it's not a "lecture" in the scalding meaning of the word. Explaining why something is bad is better than simply downvoting.


as another idiot about to burn out, it's not unique. :)
