ominous cloud

this is the first day that i have had internet access at home since monday, as we had to disconnect computers that day for the installation of our new windows, which led to the discovery of bedbugs in the building. i have since been executing my duties as 'chairman of the board' at my co-op to coordinate action against the bug invasion.

i have had meetings almost every night this week as well, in addition to taking two days of from my moonlighting gig to sub in as a constituency assistant. i think that i could be quite good at it in time, once i develop confidence on taking casework. it is a difficult thing to do, and i admire those who can master it.

it is a universal truth, i believe, that knowing the rules and procedures of an organization can often be the greatest power of all.
