Ok, I’m going to try not to ramble too much but no guarantees.
Basically, been mulling things for a while. And what I’ve concluded is, aside from the usual that plagues just about everyone else (super busy, big changes, personal drama, an overall crappy year blah blah - won’t bore you), I’ve spread myself too thin. So combined with the other garbage going on I said I wouldn’t bore you with, it’s catching up to me. Some of that ****, I have no control over but I can cut some fat elsewhere. Selfishly, maybe, but I gotta start somewhere.
What this means is, I gotta step down from the team at TCL.org
Good news is, I’ve done very little so I doubt this will have much impact (for that I apologize, but it does go as a good case as to why I ought to just shove off than be dead weight), but I do think this is called for rather than going on hiatus. If I just took time away, I’d still have a nagging feeling I wasn’t filling an obligation, and so I think this is for the best over all. I’m going to be sending a similar message to other sites where I volunteered without being very sensible. Shamefully, there are too many to list, in more than one fandom. Purrsia needs to learn the magic of no :duh:
The selfish part is yes, I’m going to use what little time I have of leisure time online anymore to focus on my own sites which are now falling more behind than ever. ****, I’ve had a security update for my galleries ready to go for a week and nope, not uploaded yet. That’s like begging to be hacked. So yeah, if I’m falling behind on my own sites’ backend mundania, this is not good. Something has to give.
Of course, don’t get out the party hats yet lol
I’m not leaving the fandom. I’ll be around here and elsewhere as an occassionally posting fan, but I’m stepping down from all my seats of responsibility where I can at this time (a few projects I’m seeing through, but anyway, about not boring you…), including here. I don’t think it’s fair to the team or myself to pretend like I can ‘do it all’. To paraphrase Cheetara, I thought there was something left in the reserves but there just…isn’t.
And about not rambling - let’s wrap that up. I leave here embarrassed at my relative shittiness as a team member and poor productivity, but over all no regrets. It was nice getting to know all of you and proving that first impressions maybe aren’t always correct. Thanks for letting me have a chance to be on the team.
Good luck with TCL - you should be proud of yourselves ![]()
