Hear ye, hear ye (I’ve always wanted to say that):

My lovely Girlfriend, who has slaved tirelessly and with very little recognition for a wholesale carpet dealer for the past 10 years, was this afternoon elected to the position of Vice President of the Utah Floor Covering Association, an industry trade group concerned with, um, floor coverings. And the industry that trades in… floor… coverings. Ah, hell, the truth is I have no idea what the UFCA actually does, but I imagine I’m going to be learning much more about it over the next year. Anne has already informed me that I’ll be required to make myself available as her arm-candy for occasional functions, and she will likely be doing some business-related traveling as well. (The travel may or may not include me, depending on our respective schedules.) And, as if all this wasn’t exciting enough, she will most likely ascend to the presidency itself in only a year.

I’m very proud of her. I don’t know that this is going to be a game-changer or anything, but it’s bound to be a very interesting experience for her, and a good resume’ builder. And besides, “Madam Vice President” has kind of a sexy ring…
