Now that you've served your tenure in the East, now what?
Here's a funny PM story:
I was down in our dining hall one day on my hands and knees cleaning the floor and taking out the trash. Another PM and an EA or FC comes in to work on a lecture. The guy said something along the lines of "if you are a PM, should you be doing that?" I broke out into uncontrollable laughter.
"Quietly"? YOU?Lurking quietly in the North.
Exactly!There's always something the Lodge needs somebody to do- be that somebody!
Well, when the alternative to obedience to your obligation is to be severely twanged, it does cause a loud Audible gasp. We didn't know what it meant, but it sounded horribleAttend those special classes that teach you how to correctly shake your head and mutter 'we did it better in my day' during degree work.

Lol, very good!Well, when the alternative to obedience is to be severely twanged, it does cause a loud Audible gasp. We didn't know what it meant, but it sounded horrible
Another difference between jurisdictions. Under GLoTX, the phrase is "That's not how we did it during MY year!"Attend those special classes that teach you how to correctly shake your head and mutter 'we did it better in my day' during degree work.
Here it's "We've never done it that way before!".Another difference between jurisdictions. Under GLoTX, the phrase is "That's not how we did it during MY year!"
I was at my Cheshire lodge today. I realise I had put on the old provincial tie that is no longer authorised. As I was going out to change, our senior difficult member was compelled to chastise me and explain "that tie is illegal." Perhaps the theories are true: the British police are so tight in that they even criminalise the clothing we may wear in lodge. Had I not been an installing officer,maaaaaybe I would have just carried on.
The most important thing now is to SERVE THE LODGE, especially the new Master. As a PM you are a guiding light, a fountain of wisdom, and should be there to help direct / steer the lodge and assist the Master PLUS educate the newly made Brothers.
