Cans of Worms

They never look as big as they are, you know. Those darn cans of worms look so small and harmless... It's just a little can, you reason with yourself, how bad could it be? But somehow, those little harmless looking cans of worms always shoot out those ridiculously oversized novelty worms that surprise everyone around. How do they do that?

So, today, I deemed myself the "Director of Cans of Worms Opening," as I somehow managed to not only open one, but nearly four separate cans. There was much surprise and shock around me as everyone reacted to the explosion of novelty worms. It just didn't look that bad before I opened it, you know?

One issue that I cracked wide open was a budget issue which was, of course, connected to a student organization issue which quickly became an all student organizations issue which then became a potential advisorship issue. Oh, and don't forget the little bookstore issue I managed to attempt to open up. That one didn't explode quite so violently, although it still may tomorrow.

Now I find myself left with lots of worms lying around and everyone looking around in disbelief. How did all of that possibly happen in one day? I have no idea, but it had to be done. And now we move forward. As a wise man once told me, "Working here is like clearing a minefield with a hammer. Good luck." I guess it just shouldn't surprise me anymore. But worry not! As Director of Cans of Worms Opening, there will be much more of this action taken, but in a few short years, we'll have it all sorted out...all the worms cleaned up and all of at least the big cans opened. Until then, hold on to your hats and watch out for flying novelty worms...there will be many more.
