Els asked me about how I got the job of helping create the library and some other particulars, so I thought I would just blog about it since it is very typical of the school.
On Monday, I received a note in my school mailbox telling me that some funds had been allocated to begin a high school library. First sidenote: The letter was dated the fifth of March, how does it not get to me until the 23rd??? The simple answer is probably that that is how long it took to get the letter approved.
So, I am in charge (by default of teaching at a small school). I am responsible for the Humanities portion of the library - Literature, Arts, Drama, etc. Second sidenote: I am in charge of art books? They obviously haven't realized that I am devoid of any artistic abilities. And as for drama, I have my moments, but again drama is not my forte.
I was given until next Friday - so a little over a week to create a humanities library. To decide what should be in a high school library, to find all of the books on the website (it is horrible, I have to basically type in each title), and to find out what art books to include I have a little over a week. Third sidenote: Are you joking me?
Final note: I just got called into the office and told that I have been chosen to be part of the school development plan. Not would you like to be part, but chosen. Man, being chosen for stuff, kind of sucks because now I have to figure out all my lesson plans. I hate missing school, there is so much extra work, especially when I am not even asked.

Thanks for the explanation - it all makes sense now. =) (Sense, that is, in that it is consistent in previous school decisions for / about you. =) ) And now they're assigning you to super important committees! You are quickly working your way up the ladder of high value and importance. Good work . . . ?! =)
