The God-Damned PTA

No post today, because I have to go to a freakin’ PTA fundraiser tonight.

The local ladies, and it’s all ladies, are fundraising dynamos generating mucho cash for the school. They sell potted plants one day and carb-free pizza the other. I would rather just hand over a check at the end of the year rather than sell and buy tasteless pizza. Waste of everyone’s time.

I should probably join the PTA to get the inside scoop on the good teachers, but it annoys me that they are so unpolitical. They have no proposals for curriculum change or ideas for parents actually helping out in the classroom. The school administrators are pleased because the parents are busy hosting raffles, rather than getting in their hair. It totally grosses me out.

Tonight, I going to some gala tonight. The husbands were not invited, which also irks me. I don’t do chick-only events. I paid $50 for the seat and then I’m expected to blow a bunch more on raffles and crap.

I’m going to spend all my money at the cash bar.
