*pleased* Now, that was nice!

Today, I was given permission to work as a full member (almost) of a volunteer team I'm on - which is the vote of confidence I was hoping for, but not sure if I'd earned or not. That was really cool. (The almost is because there's still one thing I'm supposed to let others review before I send it in - and I knew that would be the case, as I've hardly done any of that so far to be reviewed.)

That was really cool. But to add to it, just now, I was asked to join a really wonderful administrative team on a site I love.

I turned it down. I don't have the time, and the last thing I want to do is give them the scattered, unpredictable, left-over bits of my time - or worse, overload myself and dump the stress on them. I wish I had the time, but I don't.

But being asked? Made me feel wonderful. And so did realizing that I'm actually recognizing when I do and don't have time for things. It wasn't that long ago - a couple years at most - that I'd have jumped at the chance and then doubtless failed it.

I did volunteer to help with one-off projects as they fit into my schedule, if that would work for them. I don't know if it will, but if it doesn't, that's cool too. And I'm still all bouncy that they think enough of me to ask.

That's so very cool.

And I stillll need to do the laundry, so now I and my happy overstuffed ego are going to go start sorting. :)

Now I'm wondering what you were offered *laughs*

I understand the first bit, obviously, but not the rest. ;)

*g* That's because I was woefully general on both counts. The second bit was offered at a MUSH I'm on, to help with some of the staff stuff; and since I didn't accept it, I'll leave it at that, but it was very nice to be asked.

Congrats! It is nice to be asked. Even if you have to say "no".
