I had no intention, ever, of being on any executive committee with the PTA. I still have no intention, but it seems that this is a bullet I cannot dodge.
I've been asked twice now, to put my name down. Sure the nominations process leaves no guarantees--and I've never been elected to hold any office in any club or organization I joined--EVER. (The church thing is a mission from God, and a fluke, and because no one else wanted it. It's not because everyone thought I'd actually be good at it.)
Two different people, on different days. This is getting scary. What if I put my name down and then I actually get voted in? Then what?
I'll tell you what--a full year of actually having to be there. It won't be my choice any longer. And I won't be able to be sarcastic and bitter, either. Do you know how much of my life is involved in sarcastic and bitter? Yeah, it'd be almost like lopping off several fingers or toes. Maybe a whole arm or something.
And didn't I say, just a few months ago, that I would not agree to be nominated? And if nominated anyway, I wouldn't run? And if they ran me anyway, I'd refuse to serve?
Where did that go?
Why can't I just learn to keep my mouth shut?

Oooo. Sounds like a great opportunity to grow and learn as a human being. Did I just say that? Slap me already. But I think it sounds like a great role for you. :)
Not helping! Not helping!
Yes. You are insane. Does that help?
