Pure un obliterated decadence

I've been grounded from using the churchwide intercom-via phone. I used to use it to announce staff meetings, then to try to track the pastor, and well, if you've read the tale, you know why it was a perfectly reasonable grounding that came upon me months ago. The thing is, I can't let it go.
Try as I might. I like to think I can be connected to the whole church with the simple push of a button.
Our Associate Pastor recognizes this craving and on occasion will give me a wink of permission to call someone, to look for someone, or to announce something very very important. So important that I have to use the intercom. But those instances are far between each other.
So today, just because I could in the emptiness of the office I played Barry Manilow at full force on this Friday afternoon, copa cabana and I rang in the weekend. So there.
