part of the legislative record... officially recognized (busted) for skipping class!
Not many law students can say that their skipping class was officially recognized by several Members of the Florida House and chuckled at!
No kidding... today's incident will be part of the legislative record, at least the audio cd version of the meeting, FOREVER! Here's what happened...
On Feb 22, 2006, at 4:45pm, the Florida House Rules and Calendar Council meeting came to order. As Chairman Goodlette, R, from Naples, FL, was opening the meeting, he decided to recognize a few people and thank them for their hard work and service. I was among those that he recognized. While thanking me and mentioning my past service as a House Fellow and present service in the Rules Council and the House, and just as he explaining that I was NOT able to attend because I was "in class," the committee administrative assistant whispered to him that I was sitting behind him. At that moment the Chairman and the rest of the Council turned around to stare at me, he and others chucked and said "I guess he's skipping class." **ha ha**chuckle** I smiled with a little embarrashment at the attention and the realization that my "skipping class" was now and forever "Officially part of the record" of this legislative Council meeting. LOL!
That was the high point of the meeting, at least for me. It definitely seemed to be "most humorous" to some of the Members.
Just for the record... I was "not really" skipping class at all; I had gotten my Professor's permission to skip. On a side note, how can one skip a class they are not officially registered for? *smile*
