Pulling hair out....
Dec. 4th, 2006 10:13 pmOK, I've done practically no writing this week-end. Saturday, I spent about 4 hours preparing for the OWFI meeting. Sunday, I spent 5 hours sitting in the OWFI meeting. Today, I spent hours (about 3 in the morning and 2 at night) cleaning up after the OWFI meeting. I still have a stack of OWFI things on my desk waiting to be followed-up-on, perhaps tomorrow.
One of the other officers is beseeching me to stay as treasurer next year (she's even suggested a stipend). All I can think of is...why on earth would I want to keep doing this?
The glory? The perqs?
I have no perception that being involved in the professional association is benefiting my writing at all. All I can see is how it's eating up my time! Grrrr...
I need to learn to say no.
