I find this quite astonishing....<br /><br />Whilst I accept that that we, as volunteers, have a duty to behave in an appropriate manner...I really can't see, from your description, what you have done wrong....<br /><br />I would be very tempted to hang up my tee shirt, if I were treated like that....Compostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521461115196530599.post-68848722566795787702009-11-14T22:04:27.116+00:002009-11-14T22:04:27.116+00:00It always makes me angry when people complain to o...It always makes me angry when people complain to other people after the event instead of taking up any issues they have with the person it most concerns at he time!

In many ways I think you are more caring than most.Not many people would give up their free time to help others in the way that you do.Unfortunately,people will always make judgements, and take offence when someone else challenges there opinion or behaviour.I know that is you being passionate about what you believe in, but they don't. My son is just the same.If he knows you're wrong or "misguided" he'll tell you! Keep on being you and only look for treatment if you feel that's the right thing for you(not other people).<br /><br />AyeshaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521461115196530599.post-27076737497537531412009-11-13T08:33:41.049+00:002009-11-13T08:33:41.049+00:00John

Thanks, once again, for your assistance ...Hi John,<br /><br />Thanks, once again, for your assistance today - even though it didn't have the preferred outcome! At least I know that the job is not, with help, beyond my means. I've been putting off the final stage of the installation for some weeks as I didn't feel comfortable working on the roof away from a roof ladder to cling onto. Even though we were stopped at stage one, I feel much more confident at tackling it in future - with appropriate and valued help of course! I just feel a right 'nana for not checking the construction before installation and assuming it was the same as an earlier model!<br /><br />Thinking about your experience with Rotters today has had me thinking ever since and has left me in two minds; on one side I found your acceptance of some of the issues raised as being a problem you need to address quite inspiring, on the other I am almost angry that you and I volunteer a lot of our time and personal enthusiasm supporting and promoting a way of life that City of York Council would otherwise have to spend considerable sums executing any other way. Given that you and I have similar life outlooks and senses of humour, I think that if I had been on the receiving end of such oversensitivity and small-mindedness (NOT a description of those managing York Rotters) I would have withdrawn my support and returned my T-shirt forthwith. However I know that this is something you would not want me to do. This would not be in protest but a declaration of my personal right to express myself, within reasonable limits, in the manner I would prefer rather than have to tread on eggshells all of the time. Some people just need to get a life!<br /><br />I hope and feel confident that this won't curb your enthusiasm for helping others live a more sustainable lifestyle. <br /><br />Live long and prosper!<br /><br />(Nannoo nannoo!)<br /><br />RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
