I gave my time as much as I was able; even more than I was comfortable with, yet this was not enough.
There are paid staff to deal with things but no, it is volleyed back to me again and again.
I am out-of-sorts.
Thank you apparantly is a phrase that has gone out of style.
or at least without disclaimers and caveats....
next year I will say this:
"I can give you 8 hours or my time. Or I can donate $100. Take your choice."
Not feeling very godlike right now...
It's not that I require syncophantry about... I just want to feel appreciated.
It is a huge thing for me to make time where there is none particularly to be with crowds of people. Something I avoid mostly...
(sigh)
