(blindfolded, underwater with a zucchini in my ass) ??

THERE's an option nobody mentioned.

I got hired to work in three areas: Invitational, chapter business, and Harmony Camp. HC has been run by a micromanager (who is otherwise a great guy) for eight years before this one, and has always LOST money. This year, the board of directors gave me a dictate: police it. I worked hard to do that, creating stress on him and stress on me. we butted heads on lots of stuff that would end up to be financial issues.

this year, for the first time ever, HC broke even..even made a little. Mike's response to that was to tell the board he would not work with me ever again,.... it was him or me on this project. now, he's a great idea guy, and a good overseer, but a terrible day to day administrator. *I* am a great day to day administrator. but he won't let me be involved, and he won't step back. so it's him or me.

a zucchini. or maybe send him off to meet slang's marine?
