The Res jumps off a cliff

resonantCongratulate me; starting in January I will be the chair of the church's Fellowship Committee.
As this person is chiefly responsible for planning social events, I've been considering asking to be referred to as Empress Covered Dish, or maybe First Vice President of Fried Chicken.
Honestly, if I were the one in charge, I would not have let me do this. It's questionable to have a staffer be a member of the church, really darned risky to have a staffer be married to a member of the governing board, and borderline insane to have a staffer head an important committee. (Also, of course, it's rather odd to put an introvert in charge of social events, though on the other hand you can guarantee that an introvert won't schedule unnecessary meetings.)
It's also borderline insane that I want to do it. But for as long as I can remember, the committee has been headed up by a woman who's an Olympic-level Sigher, one of those people who would rather be put-upon than ask for help.
And apparently the easiest way to make me want to do something is to stand where I can see you and do it badly.
