I am now a recruiting officer for my guild of thousands. I volunteered for the position and take it seriously. My fellow guild officers for the ROM chapter give me props like "You are rocking it girl!" It is work to get with everyone who has heard of us, seen us, grouped with us, and wants to be a part of it. For most I am the first point of contact. So they come to me with their questions. This is good. I can deal with this... but I see something starting to rise up and make me nervouse.
I monitor 3 forums, and make the needed posts there. I make sure the needed into is given to the parties who need it. And work on presenting a family feel where we're like siblings playing pranks on each other.
In one of the forum I monitor the pranking has skidded to a halt. One of ours is in the hospital w/ Lukemia, they caught it early. I'm making myself VERY available for both the husband and wife. I have extensive background w/ hospitals and the system. I've done something rare. I've given out my cell phone so they can call if something happens they need help w/ immediately. I've walked the wife through the scare that it could be cancer. Reminded her not to borrow trouble, let the tests do their thing.
I have been distracted from my duties taking care of them. And no one will say anything about it because to them I'm still doing my work at an acceptable level. I know their circumstance. I know some of the trouble they are going to have. They have taken my advice and the doctors are getting the paperwork filled for charities to take care of this hospital stay and possibly even meds too. Till I KNOW they're taken care of I will be worried even when I'm "relaxing."
I feel I may put so much time into making sure they are ok I may fall behind on my recruiter duties, which I enjoy too. I will say they won't take the duties away from me if I slack some. I would step down if I thought I couldn't do it.
