Pissed Off Again

In a volunteer organization I'm involved in I've taken a position of greater leadership, and now EVRYONE thinks that I have to be responsible for EVERYTHING! I'm pretty POed right now because I'm probably going to have some people beating me down tommorow for something that went wrong that wasn't really even my problem.

So here's what happened: There was a fundraiser planned and they need a few people to help out, so I got things in movement to make sure everyone knew about it; this happened. One person commited.  I personally did not commit because I was helping my friend's sister move out of her apartment. While I was gone doing this, someone called saying that they had an urgent message concerning the fundraiser (no, urgent should not be used for fundraisers EVER, that's something firemen and ambulance drivers need to use). I'm guessing that they wanted more people to show up and they didn't. I'm also guessing that they'll hang it on my neck.

COME ON PEOPLE! It's a freakin' volunteer organization! I can't make people show up; that's not my job! What I can do is make sure everyone knows about it. I did that.

I'm not sure what I'll do if they slam me for this one. I'm already responding to several phone calls A DAY for this organization (and usually making a couple a day as well); I'm really not in the mood to get some crap lecture on responsibility from someone who does half the work I do for this organization.

Well yeah, I'm a little burned out and pissed off at this point. I hope people aren't jerks to me tommorow.
