Someone Else Can Do It

I'm on the food committee for Pet Day 2005, and had a related meeting this afternoon - it looks like things are coming together.

When I signed up for the Pet Day 2004 food committee, I did not realize what was involved. It's sort of fun to run a food booth, but the preparation and planning is a bit of a headache for one who wants to follow the relevant food safety laws.
This year I am not the food booth supervisor, which is great because it will not be my responsibility if a law is violated. Some people feel more free to use their own common sense instead of following the letter of the law. In reality the health officials probably don't care much about such aberrations, but I personally would not feel comfortable with them. Having me out of the supervisory position may therefore be better for everyone involved. I will wield my influence in the direction of obedience to law, but will ultimately feel justified to leave the overall activities in the hands of another. I hope that's not an awful cop-out.
