1985 MEMORANDUM

Found by a friend in some old paperwork from when I worked at the WA ST Human Rights Commission.  I typed this and gave it to my boss.  I have always been a scamp.  Here is the text in the attached picture:

TO: Velma J. Jefferson, Acting Director of Compliance

FROM: Joceile C. Moore, Acting Administrative Assistant

DATE: March 19 (Acting as the 20th), 1985

SUBJECT: STATE WORKERS ACTOR’S GUILD

I thought it important to bring to your attention an event that occurred in this office as (during Yvonne Baptiste’s absence) I am acting Administrative Assistant.  Last week while Terry Quertermous was acting as the Acting Executive Secretary while Jim Medina (Acting Executive Secretary) was away, there was some confusion about who the little blue man in the corner was acting as.  I (then a Clerk Typist III) brought it to the attention of Verdell Pierce, temporarily acting as Compliance Supervisor in the interim while you were Acting Director of Compliance and Louise Tro was yet to be contacted.  She felt that in her acting capacity she did not have the authority to act on it and mentioned that Sherri Apilado, acting as herself, might bring it to the attention of Charles Huey (who is I believe in fact the Chair of the Commission and not now in an acting capacity).

Sherri, sincerely believing him to be a friend of Jane Inman’s, acting as EEOC Liaison, asked Jane if she was acquainted with the man.  Jane Inman acting indignant made it plain that she had no idea what Sherri was talking about.

In any case, it turns out that the little blue man was acting like a janitor in the corner while really being a spy for the Screen Actor’s Guild.  It seems that they are concerned about State workers taking jobs from their union.  So, my concern during my brief day of acting power while Yvonne’s away is:  Do you think State workers acting in our positions should start our own guild?
