I've been the administrator for a small MS forum for a few years now. Most all the members are much older than me and complain about EVERYTHING. "I had to type in my password two times today", "I'm not receiving email notices of replies promptly" blah blah blah. I swear if one thing is not exactly as they think it should be, it blows their whole day!
Then we have a member who constantly bitches about her husband, her children, her step children, etc..How hard she works, how little her husband does, .....you get the picture. Then there's the lady who couldn't spell shit if she had a mouth full of it and instead of one comma, it has to be 6 or 7 commas,,,,,,GRRRRR! The list just goes on and on. I just sort of sit back, run the show and be responsible for the forum. I want out!! I just don't know how to tell them. I know they will FREAK!
As far as they are concerned, I live to serve them. I live to run that board for them. If for whatever reason I'm late in posting in the morning or heaven forbid I don't post at all one day......Good GOSH! You'd think the world was coming to an end! I feel very tied down to them and the board.
Recently we've had technical problems and I try to explain to them what's wrong and it's like I've said nothing at all. Still the questions keep coming. What the F*&$ do they care? I'm the one that has to fix it!
I've just had it. I'm going on vacation in a couple days and when I get back, I'm going to offer control of the board to someone else. I pray that someone, anyone will take it over! I can't handle it anymore and I'm sick and tired of trying.
Whew, it felt good to vent!
