In High Gear

The Object of My Affliction IMmed from the airport. Squee!

Things are looking up. We both got the clue-bats out last night, so I think we’re getting somewhere. I haven’t felt so much like a 16-year-old in a very long time. Gah! I was reduced to passing notes!

My dad reads my journal but doesn’t have an LJ account, so he isn’t in my flist. I got his long-threatened Xmas gift for him last night - a subscription to a romance novel book club. I got to pick out his first seven selections and did so, keeping in mind The Last Viking, which he left at my house.

Okay, I received many different versions of this email from several
people using several different combinations of email addresses.

What a lot of confusion!

And I’m afraid there are WAY too many cooks in this kitchen.

If I understand correctly, in order to do the Intern Minister thing,
we have to put our information into the site at:

www.uua.org/programs/ministry/credentialing/intership

I see there a link “For Internship Sites: Submit Your Internship
Information Here ” - which I gather is where we are supposed to put
it.

I clicked on that link and did wind up at:

h5.uua.org/Mininterns/application.asp

Bob, I don’t know what the problem is, but it’s not at the UUA stie.

So, we have this web form that needs filling out. Why in the world is
everyone and their mama going nuts over this?

Who is in charge, and can they please task someone with this?

If we do not know who is in charge, I do not mind -taking- charge, but
be warned - I am a dictator. A benevolent dictator for the most part,
but a dictator nonetheless.

So, whoever’s in charge, please let me know it. Thank you.

A message I found myself sending out today because everyone in the “leadership” echelons at my church went into a total panic over having to submit some info to a web form.
