Interagency Recycling Committee

I Co-chair my Department's Green Team and today I was asked to sit-in on the State's Interagency Recycling Committee, because the two people who usually do it are on vacation today.  I was notified after the meeting started and therefore walked in 18 minutes late. I announced myself and began flipping through paperwork that was not mine and had no apparent order or continuity whatsoever.  The chairman said, "Oh good, you have hand outs."  I just laughed to myself and said, "No, I don't think so."  Despite being a complete catastrophe,  I still managed to somehow procure $6,000 for a pilot project I just found out about a couple days ago.
