Only this lot and one more to go and I'll have done my 6 years of being Secretary of the Lodge and Flocky can take over. It's OK but this one is particularly heavy as it has individual subscription requests that need to go in the right envelope. It used to be worse as everyone used to be sent stuff by post but about half now get emailed versions which takes me about 15 minutes to prepare and send. If only I could get everyone to agree it would be brilliant.
I only realised quite recently that I took on the job shortly before I got ill. I'm quite impressed with myself now realising that I carried on throughout although, on more than one occasion had to miss visiting some other Lodges due to treatments or hospital visits.
I need to get them all out tomorrow or by the latest Sunday. In addition I have been asked to sort out the accounts by next weekend. That was OK until I realised that the spreadsheets they gave me aren't linked which means a bit more time and effort to sort out. I wouldn't mind but my originals were fine ( I thought) now they have to be messed about to get them into someone else's style.
I'm out tomorrow to a Burns Night preceded by a Lodge Night. The lads come down from Scotland bringing a rather tasty Haggis with them. The trouble is that it is a boozy night and I can get back late. Additionally we leave at lunch time tomorrow and I guess we will get back around 2 in the morning!! Mind you it is a good evening.
