#47 - And now for something completely different (Part 2: Electric Boogaloo)

[anonrisingcocomod]

This is a Star Trek anon comm now. Make it so, nonnies.

Just kidding! Since the attitude in the comm has chilled out a little, I'd like to try another post without a Wanker Thread to see how it goes. The Wanker Thread is still present on the comm, but hidden to you (for now) and will be brought back if any big drama occurs that people feel should be contained. You can still make complaints about things that annoy you on Flight Rising, but let's try and keep the vitriol at a minimum. 

Oh, and welcome to The 47 Society, AnonRising!

Does anybody else who's quite heavily involved in their flight's community/dom aspects ever feel... overwhelmed by the work that's sometimes needed to help organize and support your flight?

Like, have a moment of thinking "I already have one full-time job and holy shit I've signed myself up for another one"? But understand that nobody made you sign up for your flight job, and you could walk away at any moment (once you've offloaded all of the flight assets that you hold) without consequence, but you really don't want to because despite those overwhelming feelings you signed up for the job because at the time you enjoyed what you were doing? And you don't want to leave the flight in the lurch at all and on most days, you do in fact enjoy your job, but sometimes you do wish that somebody else would do it for you?

... I could do with some reassurance that other people sometimes feel the same way whilst I'm having my dragon pixel existential crisis.

yes

i run a relatively small dom thing but even that causes a lot of stress sometimes tbh. i legit like helping, but.... its easy to get overwhelmed. you're def not alone.

Yes nona, don't worry, it's the same for all of us... dom teams try to be as big as they can, but no matter how small of a bite you think you're taking, it still ends up being a lot more work than you initially anticipated. Just remember that it is still okay to ask for help - even if temporary help - if you become way too overwhelmed at some point, though!
