I was at a meeting of a group to which I belong on Saturday because I needed a place to hang until my ride arrived. Please keep in mind that I was there out of need more than want. Anyway, a couple of the attendees were discussing things that could make our group a little better. I have the ability and the equipment to provide those needs, but I didn’t say anything because of my interesting schedule.
Another member spoke up and said, “Marcie hasn’t said anything.” And, I hadn’t. The member said, “Well, she can do it.” That was an honor to share my skills and abilities, but my time and cashflow say otherwise.
I just wanted to share this because it annoyed me immensely, and I blog to release my frustrations. Also, I could have said something, but for what? I knew I wasn’t going to do it when the person was speaking.
That really sucks. I can have a short fuse at times, and that is one I really cannot shut my mouth about. If I am going to volunteer, I will say so… not someone who got it in their head that I somehow was unable to make my own decisions.
Sorry to hear that… I sympathize with that situation.
I am learning that silence is golden.
