Delegation!

Plenipotentiary (adjective): Containing or conferring full power; invested with full power or (noun) A person invested with full power to transact any business.

What?  How did I not know this word before.  If there is one thing I enjoy...well it is combining two words together to make a new word (ex. poetry + blogging = plogging.)  But if there is a second thing I care to emply to the extent of its use it is words that make delegating tasks seem honorable (Ex: you are the grand poobah of vacuuming.  Congrats!)

I highly suggest at some point today to make a plenipotentiary delegation of your least favorite task.  I think the recipient of this honor may very well be impressed with your confidence in him or her.*

You feel you have been slighted
But it is quite to the contrary
Instead you have been invited
To be my foot rubbing plenipotentiary.
