Good Grief
Nonprofit world =
Oscar of Bureaucracy.
Some days, some weeks, it's
Just too much.
Let's see
1. In order to qualify for
an ArtsActivate grant through
OCA, we have to work in
underprivileged, underserved
communities. OK, Good thing.
2. Except then, it becomes
a situation in which one
party isn't really that

Right Page:
passionate about the project
It's chasing the money
1. Price 10 is nearly complete.
One artist doesn't want
her name identified with it.
Another artist agrees and says she also
doesn't want artist #1
given any credit. OK, Done.
2. Our contractor for the
addition "fires" us.
But we may have
another contractor.
3. My knee hurts. And
there's a pinched nerve
