Ok, I know this prob. doesn't belong on this thread, but here I go anyway.
My DS brought home a "We appericate our volunteers" cert. from his school. I have had a child at this school for 9 -10 years now. I was the volunteer of the year several years ago. I spent over 97 hours making costumes for the theater dept in 2.3-3 weeks...
And not only did they spell my name WRONG!!!, but in stead of me getting it at the special Volunteers lunch the school had my DS brought it home. I never got an invite... the ***.princilal said the teacher that nominated me did not put my name on the list, so I asked how I got the cert if they didn't? No answer to that! And when I went and talked to another teacher she had a cert for me also, and it too had my name wrong!!! And I saw the note that she had sent with my name spelled correctly, and asking I be invited to the lunch...
So instead of crying I came home and read some to the great threads here on the DIS! Thanks folks! Between the funny threads, the threads that have had to cancle due to illness, and all the ones inbetween I do feel better.
And I would not have gone to the lunch, since I was volunteering at the high school, where I don't have a kid this year, but will next! I just would have liked to have been asked... I have such a great time working with the middle and high school kids! It is great to share skills with them and to be allowed to learn from them. And that is the way I also see the DIS board. So bless all of you and tons of pixie dust for letting me rant and rave!
PS it will ALL be good in less then 3 weeks! I get 3-5 days solo and then have 8-13 teen kids coming down to WDW! I can't wait! Even off site at Cypress Point. And some have never been there before! I get to show kids 13-21 stuff, and be RIGHT about somethings! YEA!!!!
