Unregistered	I've been nominated for Chair of my Gospel Choir. I really wanted a committee position, and was like "if anyone wants to nominate me..." but I was thinking ordinary member. Now I'm rather worried. I work SO much, I really can't let my course suffer, and I was picked cause there's no one else, which means many positions are unfilled, trebling my work. I want to do it... but I don't want to do it and then epically fail at it (ruining it for everyone) or fail at my academic work (ruining my life for me). Dilemma!

He wasn't even busking for money, just playing well known pieces out of tune and with the wrong rhythms.

I'm sure you'll fit it in if you really want to do it, lucky. After all, you were complaining that people hadn't invited you out the other day, so you must have some spare time! It will be good for your CV and I bet you'll enjoy doing it once you've got used to the idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Unregistered	It's a bit different doing things at night than doing admin-type things for a choir... but Lucy, I really think you should go for it. You'd be perfect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) You'd have a vice chair, right? So if it got too much you could swap, maybe... (I was going to go for EdSoc chair but decided to put it off for a year...)

lucky045	Feb 24 2010, 09:16 AM Post #5875
Unregistered	Well the thing is, there weren't enough people nominated/willing to fill all the positions, so no Vice-Chair. I'm not sure I like the idea that rather than laughing about the rubbish parts of Gospel Choir, I'll have to worry about them and come up with strategies to combat them... I think I'll do it though, I feel better this morning about everything. Though I'll probably back down if someone else gets nominated.
