Have you ever had one of those days when you can't pull your head out of your ass? I had that one today. I received a phone call from one of GMs today. I was walking into class and had the misfortune of answering the phone, thinking it was C.'s school.
"Shannon, this Mary. I need to ask you a favor."
(CRAP CRAP CRAP)
"What can I do for you?"
"We need someone to be the cookie manager for the brownie cookie sale and I was hoping that you could volunteer."
(THINK FAST THINK FAST NOOOOOOOOOO!)
"Well, ummmmmm, I don't think I can with my schedule for next semester."
(Working mom has got to get me somewhere.)
"Well, Shannon, everyone is busy and I didn't want to ask some of the other mothers because they already do so much at the school."
(SHE'S SLAMMING MY NON VOLUNTEERISM!! I AM DOING EARLY AMERICAN DAY!!)
"Well, ummmmmmmm, if you can find someone to help me I guess I can do it even though...."
"GREAT!! There's a meeting next week. Have a good day!"
SHE FREAKING HUNG UP!!!
After some contemplation I decided to take matters into my own hands and called a mother that I can stand and told her if she didn't help me that I would find incriminating information and black mail her. Reluctantly she agreed.
So, I am the cookie lady. I fear that this may be the lowest I have sunk.
