Sorry everyone (especially Molly) I would have loved to staff the bake sale table or help out any other way and enjoy the fabulous show - unfortunately I had a fever and a horrible cough so I decided to quarantine myself and rest.

Great Job Thomas, Molly and everyone else who always sacrifice more than their fair share of time and effort in the spirit of WEF. Even though we all like to party and have a good time, the only way WEF can happen so that no one person or small group of people get burned out is if we all are conscious of how much we a giving and how much we are taking. If one "freeloads" on the fun of WEF without balancing it with some input of love in the form of effort in some area that needs it, then all the fun gets "sucked" out of WEF. One the other hand, if one gives to much to WEF so that they fall short in other areas of their life (school, work, sleep) they fail to enjoy any of the fun and get burned out. Year after year, I see a small group of people doing the majority of the work and getting burned out. If you are doing too much, don't gripe behind everyone back, tell the group you need help. I am glad Molly expressed her disappointment in a public way. If you feel a vibe that an area needs help or hear a request for help and you CAN help, don't be shy or lazy!

That brings me to the point of alcohol and such. It can be a side effect of such alterations to become selfish or lazy for some people. When on WEF duty, please act on the better interest of the group and not your own cravings if you are the kind of person who cannot or does not work when altered. Being altered can also adversely affect the working assumptions of non-violence and the non-violent agreement we all make as staff and volunteers.

In love and respect of WEF and you,

Teena

what looks?

hey molly - sorry you didn't have a good time. i might suggest that you should try speaking up when you need help rather than going home and expressing your displeasure over the internet (though you should voice your thoughts regardless). you may also want to try voicing your thoughts at a staff meeting b/c i don't think a large portion of the staff uses this forum. just some suggestions.
