Hey Doug_424,
You used the term &#039;quite a few years&#039; I suppose that means exactly as it says, so I addressed the situation of 3 years, 3 months ago, which is considerably less than &#039;quite a few years&#039;. At the Le Sueur board meeting I had to be convinced by Sherry that incorporating technology, additional cost reductions, and increased income were possible before I would change from opposing her proposition to contract full time, to supporting it. After which I spoke out in support of her issue to board members. One of the items brought up was the Louisville show, which she hadn&#039;t had time for, working part time. I saw her walking around at that Louisville show. I feel the reason she didn&#039;t work in the booth may had been linked to the possibility of contracting full time, thus was a bargaining chip. At any rate she had used the phrase &#039;I don&#039;t have the time&#039; in referance to the Louisville show prior to asking for a contract. She readily agreed to take care of Louisville as a provision to her contract. At the Nov. 8th meeting she again used the term &#039;I don&#039;t have the time&#039; in referance to the Louisville show. I know it does not take 60 days to put out our magazine, nothing close to that. I have seen enough text on this website since Nov. 8 to prove that. So, if she had the time in order to get her initial contract, why wouldn&#039;t she still have the time. That is the answer to your question as to how prior to her being granted a contract relates to the present situation. It is a trend, it was a trouble sign then, so it is probably a trouble sign now. Then was the deal with Don Barnett, she wanted his position of webmaster. I can agree that the website was junk in those days, and I can agree something needed to be done with it. But I can&#039;t agree to wait until Don couldn&#039;t be at a board meeting to pursue the matter, and I&#039;ll let you guess who was instrumental in that. Anyhow she got the job of webmaster, Chris Losey did most of the work. Then the board decides she should be payed for it, that was when Chris quit fixing the website. About a year later, after the decision to pay her for this website, she disagrees with the president, shortly after, she &#039;doesn&#039;t have the time&#039; to do the website. This continues the trend. I guess she has plenty of time now, and none of the new staff are complaining about not having time.
I am glad you are not angry, I despise being angry, as anger steals from me.
