zenn bites...

from last weekend's event, i realized how much i've missed being busy and rushing about chasing for things to be done. my pace has slowed down alot since the first event i worked on when i was fresh out of college, and it's rather disgusting how i've lost so much of the enthusiasm, good work sense and detailness that i used to have.

i also realized that i'm sorely lacking in the delegating department and i need to work on scheduling and on briefing others.

i've learnt that it is impossible for me to handle everything, much as i wish i can.

i've been working in a charitable organization for close to 5 months now, and i've learnt that i can count on some people for help, while others, well let's just say they can be a tad disappointing.

there're volunteers who were approached for assistance, while others who came forth and offered their services.

you get volunteers who're eager to help, and their enthusiasm lifts everyone's spirits on event-day, and some who look like they've been forced to be there.

there're people we approached, who asked if they're going to be paid.

there're people who reluctantly say they will consider/check their schedules/let you know, but you know they will never get back to you about it.

and there're those who flatly refused to help.


personal reasons and all for not helping - but wah, it's damn frustrating looking for assistance sometimes, especially when you know that if there'd been money involved, people'd be queueing to help.

i'm thankful for all the aid that we received - the rest just make us treasure you all the more.
