Do any of you remember when as kids we used to say "UNCLE" when we played and it got too rough or something like that?? Well that's me right now, am at the point where uncle is just not enough. With out getting into details, When someone says we need help with this or that or some other job or item needing to be done. How many of us will jump up and down like a school kid to lend a helping hand?? How many times have you been passed over with the comment, you have too much to do now??
I have put in requests in writing at lest a half dozen times stating yes I would like to help out doing this job or that job and I get passed over. Reason :I don't want to over whelm you"". What fired my behind this last time, is I have been with the same group of folks for 5 years. I know what needs to be done, studied the paperwork necessary to do the job. They gave it to someone who has been with our group a year. But Why?? you ask??
Because the person who was chosen knows how to play politics. They talk the talk, but you know damn well, they can't walk the walk. I was so angry I could spit fire balls. The person who told you thanks but no thanks had the look on his face like he thought I was going to stand up. beat the crap out of him, or expect me to blow my top and walk out By being a professional I stayed calm, didn't say a word, didn't flinch. I will call the she devil Madam X
Oh so once again I was stabbed in the back. I was so mad I sent a cousin a FB message saying no I was not physically stabbed. Because I was going to post a comment on being stabbed in the back. Being the loving cousin that she is she said WTF is going on?? She helped me calm down and this was 4 days later. She knew what to say, after all I have know her since she was born. That kind of a cousin. She calmed me down faster then my wife could have ever do.
So it has now been 5 days, since my back stabbing, oh I;m still pissed off. But I know that Madam X will fall flat on her fat face. She had offered to take over a job, that all the ground work was done. The last 6 years running the same person did the job. (my friend) made all the contacts, did all the paperwork. Had a book with all the information listed. All the finance records etc. . After Madam X said she would do it, she came back, its too stressful for me..BULLSHIT. She is one of these folks that wants all the glory. The LOOK WHAT I DID. I worked with Madam X on another project. I think she lost interest it that project. Madam X said she would email me her findings....I'm still waiting and that was 4 months ago or longer.
Madam X now wants to promote our group to some mega group totaling what she clams is 90,000 folks from a very wide area, other states. When we suggested to Madam X that she should talk to group B, they do they same as us, Group A. OMG we thought Madam X was going to have a stroke.. Share the Glory with group B while seeking attention from the mega group???
So I will just wait for the house built by Madam X, to collapse faster the a house hit by a CAT 5 hurricane. When the Big Shot who stabbed me in the back comes crawling back to me. I will pass on the job, because I 'm not cleaning up his mistake. One other leader made the same choice a few years back, I offered he said no, it came back to haunt him...
Well then how is your week been???
Stay Safe Rob

Sounds like you need to be elsewhere.
It would be easy to just walk away. But I'm going to hang around at lest until Sept. Then will see. I have a feeling its going to be like watching a TV soap opera.
Gorges is right.
I know, but I owe it to so many to be a professional. too easy to toss in the towel.
Leadership by Example
Shit; just let 'er have the damned job! Then, sit back with the popcorn and enjoy the show...
Pete that's what i'm doing. The first meeting she was in charge of was a total bomb. She was talking with different members while the rest of us talked about our upcoming fundraiser.
