I’m a Chair.

I became a Chair after the last Awkward Giraffe meeting in May. I am not a Lady Chair, or a Madame Chair. I am nonetheless….. A Chair. Respect me. I’m a Chair. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever become a chair. I don’t feel any differently to before I became a chair, except I keep wondering how I can be a good Chair, a solid chair, a reliable Chair. I am the new chair the organisation that noone really wanted to exist. I’m an Awkward Giraffe Chair and the people of Awkward Giraffe want to go on and do good things. Good things is a nebulous term. The first thing I did when I found out I was a Chair was to Google how do you embezzle. The first rule apararently is not google ‘how do you embezzle’ Go to Duck Duck Go for such an enquiry. There is a lot to learn to be a good Chair. I would like to thank the previous Chair. That is the respectful thing for a new Chair to do for the previous chair. The previous Chair was the first Chair and not an easy role to fulfil. I would like to say that I swept the legs of the previous Chair so that I could become the new Chair as I think that would make for a crackin yarn but it simply wasn’t so. The previous Chair sat down as Chair and just like that I became a Chair. In a future post I will list the acheivements of the First Chair but for now I just wanted to introduce myself. Hi, I’m Sofie…… and I am…. A Chair.
