I am in way, way over my head. I don’t know what to do. I am so irritated with myself for thinking I am super woman and can do everything. I am so irritated with other people who don’t answer e-mails and aren’t willing to answer questions.<\/p>\n
Did I mention the science program that I was hoping our school would offer? I think I did. It is an afterschool program ran by a non-profit organization. They can only operate if they have a PTA coordinator. Everyone said it was oh-so-easy. The coordinator just passes out the fliers, tallies up the registration and sends out a few e-mails.<\/p>\n
Ha.<\/p>\n
Hahahahahahahaha.<\/p>\n
Our school decided we could do it and I am the coordinator.<\/p>\n
I spent over an hour at the school making copies yesterday while Elsa was strapped into her stroller. Thankfully she was pretty content as long as I kept feeding her crackers. I do not want to feed her crackers for an hour.<\/p>\n
Now the questions are rolling in and I have no freakin’ clue how to answer them. How does the activity bus work? I don’t know. Who will make sure the kindergartners walk from the door of their home room to the door of the science room? I don’t know. A grown-up or patrol, I would assume? Who is eligible for a scholarship? I don’t know. Oh! Now I know! I can give out three scholarships at my discretion. Awesome, but also kind of uncomfortable to have that kind of power.<\/p>\n
How do I get answers to these questions? I need to talk to the PTA president. She does not answer e-mail. It is incredibly, incredibly annoying to send these e-mails out to the void with questions that need a timely response and get nothing.<\/p>\n
So the principal said something about the vice-principal knowing about the activity bus. I thought “a-ha! I’ll ask her! I bet she knows stuff.” I got a very rude e-mail back saying that she does not have the answers to any of my questions and I need to talk to the PTA president. <\/p>\n
I wanted to slap the biatch. There is no need for rudeness. This is a program that will greatly benefit the students at her school. It is reasonable to assume someone at the school could tell me something.<\/p>\n
So now I guess I will get on the phone and call the president. She is nice to talk to, but I always feel like such a bother when I call someone. What if they are in middle of something else? Ugh.<\/p>\n
I am never volunteering for anything again.<\/p>\n
We all believe that, right?<\/p>\n
ETA: All that irritation and I just had a great phone conversation with the PTA president. Maybe phone calls aren’t so bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
