Many of you know that I am involved in an effort to change policy at a local county high kill animal control.
When I first started with this last May/June - there was this one woman in the group who was sort of sharing leadership duties with a second woman.
This first person - who I shall call M, turned out to be a real loose cannon.
And a bit of a head case. Craving drama and being in the middle of it. Bossing people around like they were flunkies. PItting people against each other. Convincing herself, and trying to convince others, of all the hard work she is doing, but makes herself scarce when she is asked to actually do something, sending long rambling, sometimes shrieking emails.... and on and on....
Well, she and the group are headed in different directions.... but it was my turn in the barrel for her venom and snarky childish behavior. I don't even want to go into details, but I am sooooo exhausted from dealing the human-generated drama around animal welfare.
It freaking isn't about YOU!!!! It's about changing policy; it's about saving lives; it's about reformation and transformation of an existing facility by using best practices.
Sigh .... soooo many times I just want to quit. Why am I doing this... then I see a sweet sad face online ... I can't bear to go into the animal control anymore... and I have to keep going.
Thanks for reading.
