Because I can always juggle one more ball, right?

I received an email today from the President of the Board at D's preschool.  I still think its a little weird that we have a Board for a preschool.  But I also think it's weird that parents give their kids sushi.  And both of these seem common practice in Silicon Valley. 

The Board still has one opening for Marketing and Communication Board Member.  It's a part of my background and she wanted to know if she could sway me into accepting.  She plays down the responsibilities and upsells the only one board meeting a month.*

I'm so rarely at D's school, I don't know the families that well, and D's best friend, Jack, well his dad is on the board too.  So I accept.  I send back an email saying "I'm in.  Send me the details and the next meeting date/time."

And then I scroll down to see the description.

BOARD MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR

1. Attend board meetings, parent meetings, contribute to overall operations of preschool.

2. Conduct annual maintenance review of preschool website and coordinate updates and revisions as necessary.

3. Attend public information sessions with Director to assist with marketing of preschool.

4. Coordinate new parent 'buddy' system to assist with orientation of new preschool families.

5. Assist with general communication to the preschool community.

Doesn't sound so bad, right?  I'm sure I spin one more plate, juggle one more ball.  I'm sick like that.  Truly, I think it is an illness.  I'm creating my own chaotic life only to then bitch about how chaotic a life that I live.  Totally sickness, people.

First meeting is next month.  Wish me luck.

*There is only on board meeting a month, but another set of hours that is undetermined per month based on the activities and action items of the meetings.
