slave labor

I've had 2500 envelopes sitting on my floor, waiting for me to stuff. One of my duties as treasurer of the Stansbury Park Community Association is collecting voluntary dues from all the residents to help pay for the different events we sponsor throughout the year. Every time I looked at those boxes of envelopes, my tongue would start to dry up at the thought of stuffing and licking every one. I did get about 500 done until . . .

one day the light bulb came on.
