I just got something in the mail from the Society of National Association Publications.
Hold the phone…there’s a society for publications of associations?
Is there a guild for such societies?
Is there an association of such guilds?
Is there a kingdom of said associations?
If so…how do I join?

I am losing my mind.
The printer calls. Aaron, he says, I don’t believe you sent the postage check.
Oh, sure I did, says I, I just sent it a day early, so you must have it.
We hang up. He tears up his plant looking for it, digging through garbage cans, looking in files, his co-workers are going, what the hell are you looking for?
He calls back. No check.
So I go tearing through my office looking for it, pulling up papers, looking in files, sweating bullets because I would look so very foolish if I had indeed lost the check.
I remembered tearing the stub off and filing it, so I figured at least if I had the stub, I would look somewhat responsible, and perhaps I could acquire a copy of said check…
As it turns out, I seem to have filed them both.
It is Friday, isn’t it?

Me: What’s that?
Our Company’s Computer Guy: That’s a UPS.
Me: What’s it do?
Our Company’s Computer Guy: It’s a UPS.
