Reminds me of a story.

Apparently, when Ronald Reagan died, he arrived at the Pearly Gates to a bit of a queue. He went up to St. Peter and said, “Hi, I’m Ronald Reagan. I ended the Cold War. Is there any chance I can skip the line?”

St. Peter replied, “Welcome, Mr. Reagan. I know everyone here appreciates what you did for peace, but everyone is the same here. You’ll have to wait with everyone else.”

So, Mr. Reagan went to the back of the queue.

After a little while, he saw an elderly gentleman with a stethoscope around his neck and carrying a black bag walk right past the line, wave to St. Peter, and go through the gates.

Naturally curious, Mr. Reagan went back up and said to St. Peter, “I thought you said everyone was the same here. Why did you just let that doctor go past all the line?”

St. Peter looked up and said, “Oh, Him? That was God. Sometimes he likes to play doctor.”

I guess in our Parish you could replace “doctor” with “business manager.”

Heh, certainly she's a legend in her own mind.

As you suggested, the parish council chair (Victoria, to make it easier) said, "Why aren't aren't the Spanish lector books in Liturgy's budget? Why aren't the Spanish RCIA books in Education's budget?"

"Dunno," I said. So she said we should do it that way in this budget cycle, and I said she should notify some people about that, to maintain proper chain of command. She seems to be finding her way into the role of Princess Leia.
