Well, yay.

I have a quorum for the meeting without my having to go. On one hand, I feel terribly guilty throwing my folks to the lions like this, but on the other hand, I am just so bleeping tired of the whole matter that I don't want to deal with it any more.

I have already volunteered to attend as a non-voting member, don't know if anyone will insist on my doing that.

I backed out of a 4 pm meeting, and just have a meeting in about 15 minutes. Then I can go home and just relax. I'm beat.
