Ok I haven't really bytched on my blog even though it’s called My Bytch Blog. So now I will bytch.
It never ceases to amaze me how little people want to do but how much they expect or want. I belong to an organization that is for pure fun...but not for the person organizing it. She has had a lot on her plate for a long time now and no one has stepped up to help. I have offered now that I know what is going on. People, in general, don't really want to put in much effort to anything anymore even if it is something that they are interested in.
I am not a native to the state I live in so I can say this viewing the situation from an outside perspective. People in the state that I live in don't care about anything. They have been Californicated. Yes I said it. I am not fond of California people (with few exceptions) because of their too laid back, don't care, not my problem attitude. Unfortunately, Colorado has had a large infusion of California people and their attitude and demeanor has rubbed off in a terrible way. People no longer care if someone has taken time and effort to do something they will RSVP and not show or NOT RSVP and then show without regard to anyone.
There is an old saying "It is not a problem for those not doing the work” and with what I have been witnessing in peoples actions, it is true.
Come on people! Get with the program. If you don't want to do something, fine. Then don't bytch and moan when it doesn't go your way. Try to remember YOU ARE NOT the center of the universe. If you want to help or if you think you can do a better job, get off your ass and do something. Complaining and whining like a little girl only makes you look like the loser you are. If you are too lazy or don't have any time to help and don't like the way things are going, than freakin' leave. No one is holding you captive. You can leave at anytime, no hard feelings; don't let the door hit you on the way out!
I say this not to be mean but to send a message (those of you who think that this might be targeting you, you are probably right) that if you belong to an organization or party affiliate or anything you will have to make a decision to either be a leader or a follower. If you chose to be a follower, don’t be the whinny, bytchy follower that no one wants around, and if you think you can be a better leader, than do it; plain and simple.
Bottom line, if something means something to you, than work for it. Do something. Get off your ass and be productive. This should help you decide if you really want to belong or you simply don’t care enough to bother, in which case…leave!
I so agree! fortunately most in my "group" have left and the door did hit them on the way out only because they forgot it was a spring door hahaha. I love these blogs. Keep em up :) hugs
