I had an experience today involving volunteers that has never happened before. Do people actually believe things "just happen"? A lot of hard work went in to a project by one lone volunteer and no one was there to help him. I'm disappointed, angry and in complete shock. How did this happen??
I've found that you must hold peoples hand to make sure they show up. One of the reasons I stopped being the "Chair" or the “head person”... I don't do hand holding very well.
If you are an adult, you are told the date and time... it is not my responsibility to call you every other day the week before we are to meet so you remember. Get a calendar- and get your life in order. :Stick
Harsh... yeah, but it bugs me when I tell someone I will be there, and they call me to ask if I still plan on being there. :dunno Unless you changed the date or time I will be there as planned!
Personal responsibility has become hard to find. I try really hard to have balance in my life and not over schedule commitments. Too many people try to do so much that they accomplish nothing, are always stressed out, and become unreliable.
