Confessions

Sometimes I feel sorta bad about not being as active as a mod as I probably should be

Part of it is busyness and part of it is having a new laptop that doesn't seem to wanna be able to run skype (and is usually over at my girlfriends house.)

[Dire]

Being a mod is pretty unfun. In order to be effective it's better to be serious/online all the time.

With all of the mod hirings I've seen on this forum and others, I kinda feel bad that I don't sign up for it because I kinda feel like I'm "letting the forum down" (not like in a egotistical "Man, if I was a mod, I'd clean up the forum and make it a great place, but more that sometimes I think the forum gets behind on addressing things and then they blow up into issues and it feels bad to know "you were online when this happened and no mod was here, you could have stopped this" or something like that).

But I'm also kinda insecure about being a mod. I've been a mod on multiple sites and be it because I'm a stickler for rules when I have an authoritative role or because I largely moderated a bunch of children, it never really worked. I always disliked the more lax staff that were better liked despite the fact that they did bodaciously nothing for the sites and even sometimes caused problems, and who complained at me for being "too uptight" with their friends, while complaining at me also whenever a problem occurred and they didn't want to handle it because they liked the person too much to get mad at them.

Granted, I was a different person back then, more prone to anger (though I still stand behind all of the warns and bans I doled out) and certainly not as mature as I am now, but I still worry about whether I'll go back to being the stick in the mud that no one likes and if my relationship with other members will change if I make the jump.

It's kind of the same type of thoughts that keep me from being an organ donor.

I tend to hate the taste of coffee/tea but I like the smell.

Be right back, applying to Starbucks.

Don't. It's been documented that workers in coffee shops like Starbucks absorb caffiene through their skin and it can really fuck with their sleep schedules. My brother had to close for Starbucks a lot and then open the next day, and he couldn't dift to sleep those nights without a sleep aid despite not drinking caffiene (in fact, his desire to drink caffiene went down because of the exposure).

If a few sniffs of coffee is enough for you, you're probably better off just leaving it as a sniff rather than getting a job. It can have some general health effects that may not be desirable for your lifestyle.

I'm actually immune to caffeine. Sounds strange, but it just doesn't work on me. I had to use apples when I wanted to pull all nighters for school, and that only worked because I was eating.

I wouldn't mind being a mod, but my schedule doesn't really fit staying up late and I go through occasional periods where I hardly get on AZ at all, so I prolly wouldn't be the best fit.

Besides I'm not ~*~popular~*~ enough around here for a lot of folks to know me.

[Dire]

Being popular has nothing do with it. proletariats gotta job to do.

[SaintCrazy]

Haha I know, but that seems to be the perception of it.
