Great ideas, Jeremy. You're hired. We (the 10% who do 90% of the work)
will
expect you to be at Oakland Coliseum next Sunday at 8 a.m ready to
conduct
the orientation and number the flag stations and maintain this log
throughout the day.
Oh, you thought the 10% were going to volunteer to take this on, too?
Nope,
we're already busy doing the 90%.
Since I don't seem to remember you being an event chair this year (or to
have volunteered for any upcoming events) and you want to contribute to
SFR
autocross, I don't see how you can refuse to accept our offer.

Not a bad idea, Craig. May be manageable. Again, you're hired. We (yeah,
the
10%) will expect to see you at registration when it opens at 7:30 a.m.
or so
on Sunday to do the counting. It's a simple job, but you know, the
current
registration crew seems to have their hands full already.
And once again, since I don't seem to remember you being an event chair
this
year (or to have volunteered for any upcoming events) and you seem to
want
to contribute to SFR autocross, I don't see how you can refuse to accept
our
offer.
In fact, if a whole bunch more of you people who show up, run, work, go
home, and then helpfully type up all sorts of ways to improve events,
would
start putting in more time working at events we could probably run 275
cars/4 runs each and finish by 6 pm (which BTW is when we have to be out
of
the Coliseum lot).
And if we're going to start limiting entrants, I'm more in favor of
going
for a "worker point program" where those who have earned a lot of points
volunteering get automatic entry any time of day. The do-nothings can
run if
we have time and space for them. Hey, I'll even set up the program and
run
it.
Once again, fulfilling my official function . . .
