It can be a little crazy...

Ya know, I was thinking about how careful we all must be these days. The other day I was thinking I might volunteer at my son's school, ya know, maybe do a little hall monitoring, perhaps be a lunch nazi, or a fanatical fundraiser. I don't know, I am still debating. Still, I went online to check out the paperwork and it is like crazy. I have to go through all this security stuff. Like I could possibly be a sex offender or a crazy, nut that ran out of a mental institute and was known for screaming, "hey kid, get in my belly" (love that Fat Bastard character). Now, don't get me wrong, IT IS A GOOD thing. It makes me feel a tad (literally, just a tad) better about the school, knowing they take such precautions. Heck, you don't want criminals freely roaming the halls of your kid's school.

Just like work, I mean, that is why they sometimes do an employment screening which I believe is totally necessary. You certainly don't want to be sharing a cubicle with a mass murder, or an axe murder, or any kind of murder for that matter. Especially one that might steal your stapler (he, he OFFICE SPACE).

Still, I am dreading filling out the mounds of paperwork and feeling like I am being put under a microscope...seriously, I dread it. I ain't no amoeba or Drosophila. Oh well though, the things we must do for our kids...put me on the petri dish.
