XRO:
The office is full of old papers and I am left to puzzle out what happened over the last year and where we spent our money. There should be two rather pricey banners sitting around, but I've not seen them. There is a box of just shy of a thousand "I Support the SFSS" buttons. Those ran a little over five hundred bucks and I think went largely unused during the anti-impeachment campaign. Fortunately, I can think of an ironic use for them.

We also have a bunch of signed protest postcards to the provincial, and on occasion, federal government. Most of them (about three hundred) are anti-tuition cards for Victoria, which means that we have to provide our own postage, and that's a big enough expenditure to require taking it before the advocacy committee and then processing it through finance. Should it be surprising that this is a Federation campaign?

I put the first 178 cards into two large envelopes, which I can mail for $5.02, instead of $90.78 (plus labour and committee time). Now I'm finding the rest, since they're not all in one place.

Spread the word please:
The advocacy committee is interested in supporting SFU student activism on any semi-organized
social justice cause that does not contradict SFSS social policy. We can help you with networking, room-booking and can give you supplies or cash. I am the person who puts items on the agenda, so contact me.
First day on the job as XRO

and I do prefer XRO to ERO as it includes the oft-overlooked "x" in an acronym, plus I can say that it stands for eXtreme Relations Officer

The meeting ran just shy of seven hours

I will have to:
- go talk to translink
- plan for the CFS meet in Nanaimo in just under a month's time
- talk to the regional MLA's, MP's, Parks Board Reps and City Councillors.
- read a stack of files to read that's about ten centimeters thick.
- drop at least two classes
(Health Sciences would be cool, but is the least important, then it's either accounting or human behaviour in organizations)

This is going to be a lot of work, and a lot of fun
Unofficial results:
605 votes cast for External Relations Officer
69 (11.4%) Blank
108 (17.9%) Young
173 (28.6%) Tunnacliff
255 (42.1%) Fox

Strange. Very strange. Assuming that the unofficial results hold, I guess I'm going to work tomorrow!
The last big paper is out of the way: I've arranged a schedule for next semester that should safely transmute most of this bullshit into nice short weeky assignments.
Senate was nice. Your tuition and tax dollars put lots of good food in our stomachs.

Also, I am running for External Relations Officer. SFU students must vote for me. It's the law.

Slate names (I want to both get people's attention and get into office):
- Scratch Here and Win
- M*therf*cking students in m*therf*cking government (the only party endorsed by this blurry photo of Samuel L. Jakson)
- Wo bushou hanyu (I don't speak Mandarin)

- Clearly the best choice (i.e. Sasha Fox is... CLEARLY THE BEST CHOICE)
- Last, best and only hope
- At least marginally competent (as above)
- Definitely Not a Cylon
- Another mammal running for office
- Fantastic!
- Fiscally and socially responsible
- Yo momma / Your Mom
- Foretold in prophecy
