  1. Give me some PLUSA advice if you feel like it. A woman from a department in my nonprofit called me to look into a small renovation porject. I go over, all good, sure, no problem. I email the stakeholders to schedule a meeting about approving the work. Then this board member involved in the department replies to all with this big lecture about do I understand the budget, why they can’t pay for anything etc. I am also a board member and explained.

    She emails back, “Well the real power player is [the original woman]. I am just being bossy as usual.”

    I emailed back, “Oh, that’s what this was about? I’ll remember that in the future.”

    Then she emailed me, privately, “I hope you were joking .. as I was. xox.”

    She has made several backhanded compliments to me in the past, offering to set me up with her “not so attractive” neighbor and telling me in front of the board various rude comments, so I’m disinclined to go through the grief with this attack-dog approach even though the original woman and I have a good relationship.

  2. “anyone else notice there’s more & more folks collecting aluminum cans for the 5c recycling?’

    Yes, there are several individuals that come down my block. Most heartbreaking is the elderly asian woman with a GIANT shopping cart, piled high with bags tied to it, and herself.

  3. anyone else notice there’s more & more folks collecting aluminum cans for the 5c recycling? am seeing more young looking folks too. Econ stinks and those of us with jobs are F’ing super lucky.
