Head of Finance

Hilariously, just post the last post I was appointed Head of Finance for the upcoming gigs our class are performing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I nominated myself because the committee is made up of volunteers and shockingly noone wanted to deal with the finance so instead of sitting feeling uncomfortable... I really wish I could have more control over the times I choose to zone out actually.. My ridiculous hand shot up in a way that must have appeared extremely keen.  In fact if my fingers could talk they'd've sung in harmony 'please pick me to handle the moneeeeeeeeeey'.  But I have to say that the prospect of going home this weekend and telling my Dad that I am indeed Head of Finance makes the whole situation much brighter.  Me who used to sort out my envelopes into three piles: handwritten/ smile pile; white with the cellophane mid section/ wait a while pile and brown/ vile pile and then send all the brown ones back to Dad without a thought because he loves serious things and is so good at them.  I cannot believe that behaviour in hindsight but I did do that.  Still, now I am Head of Finance.  I am going to try really hard to love it.  I'm considering a clipboard and some spectacles to get me into costume but it seems a little at odds with my Rock Chick image and the costume chasnge might seem a little odd to my classmates who took me seriously enough to elect me.  I must stay strong.  A friend once said to me before I was going to make a speech at a wedding: 'Potentially you could ruin it for Everyone'.  That little mantra helps me keep my head in most situations.  Because that is something I do not want to do.  Finance can be fun, surely?!
