Just a quick note to let people know that I have resigned as admin/top dog at The Sims Daily.
It was fun while it lasted and I want to reassure friends and enemies alike - yes, I have enemies (they even send me nasty little PMs from time to time.. can you imagine???!!!???... oh the shame of finally understanding that not everyone is as wonderful as me) - that I was not pushed out or asked to leave - in fact it's not what the rest of the team wanted, it's what I wanted.
I am far happier bimbling about all over the shot, doing my own thing, than I am having to deal with the almost daily crisis that crop up when you're trying to please all of the people, all of the time. I'm not a people pleaser, so you can imagine just how often I would get my knickers in a twist!!!
Thankyou to all the people that make/have made the forum such a special place to spend time, and although I am no longer admin, I promise I will continue to turn up and *try the patience of a saint*, on a regular basis.
Lots of love to Dailies and The Crew,
L xx
Aww, I'm sorry to hear about that. Of course, I'm happy to hear that you won't be leaving entirely. :) I would certainly miss you if you did!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheezy... I don't have to behave myself at all now :)
DeleteSorry to hear this Lily but in a way I understand you.I know how it is to be an admin and trying to please everyone...at one point you get exhausted and stressed out.I'm sure you'll enjoy your time now.Many hugs.

Bless your heart, Mimi - thankyou. Yes, it was getting a bit less fun, now I can just sit back and enjoy :0) xx
DeleteDoes this mean I won't get anymore banning threats from you?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. I'm so very glad you are not leaving!
Thankyou my darlin' - I'll just get dee to threaten to ban you instead ;0) xx
DeleteBlah blah blah, cheesecake. :p
ReplyDeleteYou forgot *dog fart* :P
DeleteCan't say I really blame you. Sometimes it's soooo nice not having to be sweet all the time. When I used to do home health visits in my local community, I had to be nice 24/7. Annoying as heck! Now, if someone irks me, I can be my normal *itchy self and even run over their foot with my car if I like. Much better than smiling sweetly and gritting my teeth.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're not leaving entirely. I like your attitude.

You're a sweetheart, Pat. Thankyou. You must have noticed that gritting my teeth was never my forté *snigger* - though it's actually more difficult to remain involved than I'd thought. I'm not to keen on the some of the changes, and no longer have the right to say "Oye, what is you doin'?????" I do hope they don't break it too much!!!
DeleteI totally agree, love. Not too thrilled with some of them either, but such is life. And, personally, I like your attitude. Pandering to a few, is a bit idiotic, IMHO. People need to pull on their big-girl pants and move on. We are not all destined to be the center of the universe. Just a select few - such as you and I - rate that title!
DeleteAll that drama over nothing was a bit over-the-top for me. Will probably go back to lurking.
Anyway, wanted you to know that not everyone agreed with the ones who made mountains over molehills. You hang in there, girl!
Ah Pat, I think I love you ;) I've had some lovely PMs from surprising sources over the past week or so, that have made a huge difference to how I feel about *all of this*. I'm not blameless, but I am still perfect ;)
DeleteBeen meaning to post earlier, but things have been crazy round here, but for different reasons. I am glad you are not leaving, I'd miss you too much aswell, and even though I don't know what it was over, I am disgusted that you got abusive PM's, and people had made Mountains over Molehills, but as Pat said such is life. There is always going to be people who are nasty etc, whether IRL or online. I know I have not been as sociable lately, since I have a lot of my own stuff to deal with IRL as you know, but feel free to email me or PM via FB if you want to chat. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Em, you're a star xx
