Ping Pong Coach

There was an excruciatingly long school meeting yesterday. There are always just so many things wrong with how the meeting are run. It is obvious that it is not just me who finds these meeting to be lacking, everyone seems to star off into space but that is not the point of this post. During an overview the principal was giving of a recent workshop, she mentioned the requirement for the school to get a table tennis...table (got to be a better way to say that) by the end of the month. I was drafted to eventually be in charge since I am the only one who knows what it is. I love ping pong (there it is) and would think it could be a lot of fun and a good way to give incentive for being a good student but there is simply no room for it. The school is already overflowing into a shanty classroom. They might as well buy a jet ski if they are wasting money buying things the school cannot use or support. The school has already purchased a sizable flat screen t.v. and speakers system that is currently locked away because there doesn't seem to be any place to put it. Keeping it in a class would definitely require a teacher to be in there at all times (gasp!) and the admin block is packed to the gills already, not to mention the logistical nightmare of shuffling classes around so that everyone would get a chance to use it. I am going to propose that our order form for the table should read:

Ping Pong Table - 1 - Green
Ping Pong Balls - 100 - Assorted
Building - 1 XL - Brick
Ping Pong Paddles - 6 - Wooden/rubber padded
Socks and Underwear: Ping Pong Coach
