I'm embarrassed, because I've been rejected, again, in favor of two other people with proper education. I can't even do what I like to do for free, GOD DAMN IT! My volunteer work at the school has ended for now. I'll wait until they are scraping the bottom of the barrel, again and maybe then, they might let me help, one more time.

I really got boost out of that. I didn't want it to end, yet.

They don't want you to help the OT anymore?

No they don't NEED me anymore. They have two freshly graduated interns, now. I just don't see what damage I could do by staying through the rest of this school year. Getting fired  from a job you don't even get paid to do really sucks!

I falls right in line with the rest of the stories of my life.

That really sucks, you'd think they'd be grateful for all the good volunteers they could get.

I don't want to be known for my IQ.  I don't want to be in guinness for my IQ.

I don't want people thinking only people with my kind of IQ can do the things I do.  I believe that most people I have met all have the potential to develop the abilities of people in class who are supposedly "good" at something.  Most people, I do not think can reach genius level in a lot of things, because I think most people who are geniuses at certain things have a natural advantage in brain wiring that allows them to specialize in it.  But most people I have seen, even with things(and perhaps especially) they say they SUCK at, and there is no way they can do em, I have reason to believe they are totally capable of developing the skill.  And pretty much the only difference between them, and people who are supposedly good at it, and geniuses, is speed.  But I still think most people, if they want to, and are patient, and actually try, will get to a level where there is only a negligable difference between them and genius level skill.

Furthermore, I totally disrespect IQ tests.  To me, IQ is about as indicative of your intelligence as how many points left on your license is indicative of your driving capabilities.

And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.

I wish you lived here.  My daughter's school would love to have some extra help.  I guess your school needs to train those interns, somehow.

After what happened to me at my daughters elementary school.  They can kiss my ass if they expect me to volunteer ever again in a school system!  I liked it, but, as they say, "NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED!" :finger:

My daughter had a pretty horrendous experience in her first elementary school, but I still volunteer at the school she attends now.  If nothing else, it helps me keep an eye on the situation.

That's another reason it was comfortable for me ... I was more in the middle of the game when I was there on a weekly, sometimes bi-weekly basis. We have a new principal there and that may be the real reason. I've met her only once, as a dad, not as a volunteer. I've talked twice to the OT therapist today, on the phone, and she assures me it was nothing to do with anything I did or didn't do, She keeps saying that the "new meat" just wants to assert her authority over every little detail and that all the volunteers were let go. It's an unforeseen break or end to a comforting routine and I'm trying not to take it personally. I'm still beside myself with depression, right now.

I worked mainly herding the groups of kids through the therapists work stations, during her sessions to make her job easier and helping (clean up) to free up  little of her time for the kids, themselves. She also does a "Circle Time" reading session for kids just learning their letters and I took part in that, too. It was actually fun, because I got to read to a group of attentive kids. No one and I mean NO ONE (!!) can jump into a cartoon character, and do over-expressive reading, like I can and making a group of needy kids laugh and almost piss themselves always made my day. I will miss getting to be silly for the kids, too. Mainly, I just feel unnecessary, again. It will pass. It always does.

Shit - I sound like a fucking emo, stinky-butt, runny-nose, nipple-nipping no-life.

No you sound like a person who sincerely enjoyed helping the children and you are justifiably upset at being cut off like that.  The new principal is making a serious error in judgement.  A large number of parent volunteers is extremely beneficial to the students in many ways.  It shows them that people highly value their education and provides role models for them.  The school my daughter attends loves volunteers.  You would be very popular with the children here if you read to them.  I'm so jealous.  I can't do characters like you can.  My reading is accurate, but flat.

I have a digestive system made out of iron - in that it doesnt move.  You know how a gentle laxative is a joke because that is like a civil war?  Well if i take an extra strength laxative it only makes my digestive system move just below average.

Thats not because your system is made of "iron" it's because you're so badly constipated. You said once you have a bowel movement 3 times a month. Your breath must STINK.

You need to put away that ridiculous anime porn and excersise.

A different set of jerkazoids, here. I feel really embarrassed, now after my little pathetic whiny rant. This type of shit should not hit me as hard as it does. I know I have a lot to offer and if they can't see it, that's not my fault. I have used the metaphor, before, but I like to think of myself as an established, well tap-rooted OAK in a garden full of weedy crossbred, ground-huggers, all fighting for each other's water. I love every one of my leaves, but when one is damaged, I have to let it fall off and grow another one.

I'm sorry for pissing and moaning, so much over it!!

I have noticed on this board and others, that people have this tendency to beat themselves up over showing any non positive emotions... I find it sad, as all emotions should be considered as a valid part of ourselves, even if they do not seem useful at the time. I am sure that expressing even the 'whiniest' emotions serves some purpose, even if only as a means of venting and sharing the burden. And for some, it might even be a relief to realise that they are not alone in feeling that way. I don't think it should be seen as shameful to sometimes get down on oneself and let others know that is the case, it is part of being human. It really reminds me of the typical British stiff upper lip syndrome...all socially constructed. Who is it that made humans feel they should suppress and conceal certain of their emotions and traits to begin? Why do we insist on selectively showing people only parts of ourselves? One might say that we perpetually wear half a mask, showing only the parts that society deems acceptable. That is my feeling. I just find it a shame when I see others, and even myself often, beating themselves up for showing the full gamut of their emotions.
