Yesterday at work, the new school-wide arts department chair told me that I was so funny and had such good energy that she could really imagine me as an emcee of the biggest event of the school year with 2000 people in attendance. So, would I do it?
I'll be honest: I pretty much stopped listening after she mentioned how I'd had the group "in stitches" during my introduction of myself the day before. Oh, the flattery! The legitimacy! The potential of keeping up with Pronto!
And then, before I knew what I was doing, I agreed. To be the emcee of the BIGGEST SCHOOL TRADITION that I've never even participated in before.
As @DailyRos would say, Hella WHAT?!
So, today, I had to send an email backing out of this ridiculous commitment. Thank God the chair was nice about it. She just laughed when she saw me. Let's be honest, I was probably hilarious as I was backing out.

Kudos for being asked, and quite frankly, kudos for backing out in style!
You would have been great tho. Maybe next year.
I would like to attend that event when you do emcee. You are funny, you know.
Wow! I'm impressed! Now I really want to meet you. Leeway talks about how great and funny you and pronto are all the time!
You are great and would have been great. Was it an event that I could have gone to?
I'm pretty sure my humor does not translate to a large venue like that. But yes, you all could have come to the event. It's Convocation and Legacy Day.
Wow! Two weeks in and you're being asked to emcee the biggest day of the year? Probably you'll be Chancellor before you know it. Then you can emcee without fear b/c everyone will have to laugh.
you could really spice up convocation. The ones I attended in my high school years were quite dull. Although, I would imagine the addition of Legacy Day has helped...
