I guess, one doesn't actually know what it entails to do the job of a *C (which isn't much, to be honest), until they do it themselves.
Those with *C status have been/are accused of this, but that's simply ignorance.You just try to do the best you can, and then you just take
that one guy who's been dealing with heartburn for 30 years and let
him rant if it makes him happy. There are pills for heartburn, by the
way.
I'm not sure there are pills for obsessions like that, though. Which is why I had to throw that /Billy Madison/ reference in there, as that's what I pictured he would be doing. You're just next in line on his list.
Most of the time I forget I'm a *C, until an applicant is sent my way, or I have to make nodelist adjustments. Otherwise, it's definitely nothing exciting to brag about. Taking on extra responsibilities for free, basically.
Enjoy the remainder of the week-end.
Since yours is probably already over (I only have about 6 hours left of it, and just mowed the lawn in 90F with what seems like 1000% humidity), enjoy the next week instead!
Regards,
Nick
