Which hat do I have on?

Does anyone from back home remember how I talked about taking it easy when we got to Alaska? Well tonight I put on another hat. Here's the list as of now:

Paid Positions:
Support Specialist (it's the title one of the counselors gave me at school) @ DHMS
Basketball Coach
Concessions @ 20th Century Theater
Consultant (another name given to me by one the the managers to describe my job at the RDS) @ the RDS
I am "in talks" right now to be the Student Government Advisor

Volunteer Positions:
PTO
Site Council Rep
JESS Building Rep (the hat I own as of tonight)

Honestly when I put it on paper it really doesn't look like that much, go figure. It's all about perception. (My favorite tag line)
Tonight I went to the JESS meeting with the intention of being our building rep. I just feel like we are missing information at our building and also that we need a voice. I am not all pro union, it has it's good and bad, but I am about knowing what is going on. And with Bob's surgery, it really opened my eyes to the lack of benefits we have. We are the "support staff" of the school district and I don't feel that we are valued with our pay and benefits. I also do not feel that I have a right to complain if I am not willing to be part of the solution. So I will be a voice for myself and anyone else in my building who needs it. With that said, understand that I absolutely love my job and my building, it's "above that" the ones who decide our pay and benefits that I think need to remember we are important to. So that's why I decided to be a union rep.

Tomorrow we have our second game, I sure hope to see some improvement in our game, some hussle and a few more baskets made. I do feel bad for these girls, they put the ball up, they just can't buy a basket. As long as they continue to have fun - I am good. Laughter is healing. MJ
