Recently, I attended a volunteer appreciation reception at the school where I work. I update the web page for our school, and so I ended up being the only non-parent volunteer to be at the reception. Immediately following the reception, the parent association was meeting. Not wanting to seem rude, I hung around for it. This particular meeting happened to be the election of new officers for last year. The president was trying (and failing) to obtain nominees for the positions. She was going to remain president, and there was a nominee for secretary. For VP, we had to do a secret ballot. Absolutely no one volunteered for treasurer. And so, as I sat there, I watched the president turn her head towards me and say, "Kelly, would you be willing to help us out and be our treasurer?" My response: "I am not a parent. Doesn't that go against the rules or something? This is the parent association." Well, apparently, it doesn't go against the rules. I was unanimously voted in as treasurer. Of the parent association. This may be one of the strangest things to happen to me. But...my plan to take over the school has now begun...whahahaha! Yeah right. More like...my time spent in meetings outside of school has more than doubled...whahahaha!
