Surreal-o-meter.

The Surreal-o-meter at work this week spun wildly for a while and finally settled on Extreme Fire Danger. Monday was foul. Tuesday was awful and attending the board meeting was a mistake.

Difficult Person: So, I ask again, as I do every month, where are the financial reports?
Polly: (holding them up) Right here, same as every month. See, HERE. These five pages.
Difficult Person's nice friend who is also on the Board: Every month we ask for financial reports. Why all the secrecy?
Polly: (waving reports) Right here. Same as every month. Please, read them.
Difficult Person: It is surely not unreasonable for me to ask the Manager for the financial reports?

That wasn't so much a board meeting as a ride in a billy cart. Downhill. A really bad billy cart. No brakes, wobbly wheels, sharp bits of metal protruding from the joins.

It must have been pretty bad. I was getting sympathy calls in the morning.
