Daily Kup (My Life in Order)I spent the day preparing for the Annual Meeting of the local Girl Scout Council. In a moment of weakness and guilt, I volunteered to be a delegate and now face the prospect of spending the whole day at a local high school where I might get to practice the Robert's Rules of Order that I had to learn to complete the delegate training.
Rhonda's Rules of Order
Robert seems to have been a bit of a control freak. Since my upcoming meeting promises to be about 98% female, some modifications may be warranted:
"I move" ... when I damn well feel like it.
"You can take the floor" if you have mopped it. Otherwise, get those boots in the tray and grab some paper towels.
I am my own quorum.
"I call for a division of the house" is now literal and has nothing to do with asking for a vote by actual count.
Debates that were previously ended with "I move the previous question" don't end until I leave the room. And may reappear without warning.
