No this is not a post about waffles and syrup. It's a post about riding the fence on a decision...waffling.
I received a PM today asking if I would be willing to run for secretary of an online group I'm in. My initial reaction was "No!" Mainly because my continued membership in this group hasn't been established. By that I mean I'm not sure I want to continue being a member of this group. A lot has happened over the last few months that has, let's say, made me become disenchanted with the group. So to expect me to make a one year commitment is a big deal.
There are those that would say I could help change the problems with the group. (First off, what I see as problems I don't see going away - ever.) They would say I could be part of the solution. (See my previous comment.)
Then I start thinking about the opportunity this could be...the doors it could open. It's a visability issue. I start thinking I want to do it.
Then I remember the one year commitment.
But the visibility factor.
One year commitment.
Visibility.
One year.
Then I realize, I probably won't get elected anyway. (One year.)
What the hell...what's the worst thing that could happen? I could get elected! (where's the "weird" icon when you need it?)

That's grand news! I'll suport you whatever you decide.
Wow! I'm impressed. I'm tickled.
Yeah!!!!!
!k.
Way to go! Who knows, if you do get elected, maybe things with the group will change for the better for you personally and make the other issues less important?
L, I'll support you. :)
Gawd I love you Sam! LOL
And thanks everyone for the support. I responded that my name could be thrown in the hat. We'll see how it goes.
I'm officially off the fence.
I asked to have my name removed from consideration. That way I'm not stressed and bothered and I haven't mislead anyone. Now I can watch for the next few months and see if I even want to continue in the group, without pressure.
