What went wrong?

I thought I had it figured out. After all, I was learning from the best; never a white shirt, quasi-sagging pants, with the tie loose up top. Even for my calling, instead of saying the "land of Israel" I would intermittently throw in "occupied palestine" just to get a response and emphasize the word "ass" to refer to the animals that were ridden every chance I had. I had the image of an enigma and a person on the cusp of being inactive. But I don't know what happened. I did where a white shirt once. I was befriended by practically the entire PEC (though I didn't know it at the time). But that wouldn't change it, right? I even talked to the RS president about not being worried about rejecting a calling (not out of spite, but rather knowing that I would do a horrible job, e.g. EQP, FHE coordinator). But alas, it served me not. Last Sunday I was called to Executive Secretary.

I'm still not wearing a suit.
