You guys want to hear something funny?

I'm on the PTA again this year.... WAIT! Stop laughing. That's not the funny part!

Long time readers may remember how I quit the PTA, almost 2 years ago now. But I've taken enough of a break that I think I can come back, with renewed (and actual) energy to get stuff done. The truth is that I used to be really active... I mean, like, question my sanity (moreso) active, which is a lot of fucking work but the benefit to that, for me anyway, is that I was on a first name basis with all the teachers and staff at the school. And I was thinking about that a week or so ago, and I realized that I missed that, because I love teachers. I really do, and I want to help them and the PTA is the way to do that. (Fuck the kids, though. No, I'm really serious, I'm not in this to help the kids.)

So, anyway, I realized that I missed being that connected to the staff, so I emailed the PTA President and told her I wanted to come back. The only position that was open that I was interested in was VP of Communications, which means exactly what it sounds. I communicate. I'm pretty good at that, I think. I mean, 3 years ago, the PTA then didn't have a VP of Communications, so I just did all the jobs that this person would have done, I just didn't have the title "VP of Communications," I had "That Crazy Lady Who Does Everything." So, it's no big deal.

Sidebar: I also have another title, though, which is VP of Special Education Affairs, which is a brand new position as of about 2 hours ago, because I'm tired of this PTA not representing SPED families, even in name only, and I asked the board to create the position for me. BOOYAH.

So, tonight I went to my first Exec Board meeting, and guess what my first task, as VP of Communications is?

No really, guess.

Go ahead.

I'll wait.


:whistle:




Did you guess? Well, I'll tell you. My first task as VP of Communications is to.... create a Twitter account for the PTA.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I told hubs and he said "are you going to invite them to wineparty?"


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I may have to follow those tweets. :)
LoL it doesn't seem to be a really hard work for you, does it? Being a VP of Communication could be the easiest way to make an easy living :)

sounds like you are just the man for the job! and now that you have titles and clout, you can get something done for those teachers and the special ed families who are so often frustrated by the school system.

You are just a glutton for punishment! I just remember how much fun our Exec Meetings were at the Bread Workshop! You will be great and it is awesome that there will be a position on Special Education.

Your next task will be to drink some wine.
My recent post It's Worse Than We Thought!
You will get a lot more attendees to the PTA if you tell them there will be wine! Since I innocently walked into a PTA meeting last June and got elected secretary I feel your insanity :)

Seriously, don't give out that twitter account to anyone who follows your @Jillsmo account. That would be very bad. Not that we're not nice, but that chain of events would end up with either a boot from the PTA or self-editing your blog and twitter, and the PTA would REALLY miss you.
