The names have been changed...

I never thought, and I mean NEVER that I would be involved in the PTA, much less a party to such drama. Read from the bottom up... also, all the typos were actual typos. I didn't make those up. Seriously. I didn't.

Hi Ladies,

I am sorry to say this but I cannot take this anymore. It is so difficult to try to make deadlines to council and with everything that I do, I can't always be on top of my due dates allthough I think I do pretty good! Please do not rely on me to get things done! I cannot believe that this is the reaction I would get for just trying to do my job. If any of you feel that I am not doing my job as president and think you can do it better, then please be my guest because I am tired of getting my head bitten off for doing my job.
I am sorry to send this out to you like this but I have alot going on outside of PTA right now and I really do not need this!

I don't know what you mean by, "I saw it yesterday." What did you see yesterday?

I know there is a deadline to get it out. I'm using the early bird deadline of Oct. 10th. But, I'm waiting for YOU to confirm or give me the PTA dates that are missing off of YOUR calendar that YOU e-mailed everyone. They are also the dates you said you would get.

I also need YOUR President's theme.

If YOU want it to go out incomplete, I'll send it out now. But, realize, it does not meet PTA requirements when missing the President's Theme.

I wish you would have asked a few days ago instead of the last minute. Then, I would have pushed Mrs. **** when I met with her on Monday about the Math-a-thon. I gave her until Friday to give me some dates.

We don’t have a date to put TBA or tentative. Those usually indicate place, not date.

I don’t know when Blue Ribbon Week, Math-a-thon, STAR Challenge, AIA show, and Canned Food Drive is. I estimated when STAR Challenge, AIA show and Canned food Drive are from previous years. I’m also assuming that our Blue Ribbon Week is the same as Other Elementary. That’s the dates I put in.

I also don’t have a president’s theme.

I hate doing things at the last minute and haphazard like this. Please confirm these dates and your theme by Friday so I can print and distribute on time (for the Communicator).

I will have copies of what I have in the office tomorrow morning.

When do you need this by? I’m still waiting for dates, you know Math-a-thon, Star Challenge, etc., from Mrs. ***. And, she’s changing her dates for Breakfast – now to be known as Coffee – with the Principal.
