Ugh, that had to be such a tough decision. I get it that some people just don’t understand social networking and other tools, but the smart ones allow those who do understand it to work their magic to make those tools sing. I hope you will find something else that is more in line with the talent and passion you have to give. I admire all you do.

@Mo – wow! That’s so awesome you live so close to Paris! Lucky! :)

@Tabitha – I hope so, but I don’t think they ever will. They aren’t familiar with the tools and would rather say ‘no’ straight up than see the good they can bring. It’s a very narrow-minded way of thinking, and I think its best that I just get out of the way and let them hamstring themselves . . .

@Kyla – Thanks chick. You’re totally right about it being a ‘pet’ project rather than treated a like a business – it drives me crazy too! But what can you do, really? It was better that I left, I think. :) Thanks for your comment, hey!

Oh I’m so sorry! How disappointing. But it’s for the best- some of these not for profits are really someone’s pet project and they want things done their way, not the way they would examine closer if it was a for profit. It drives me crazy.

Awww, it sounds like you really did hit the right time to say enough. It’s hard to see something that you care for like that go, especially if it wasn’t all your choice. You made a decision that’s hard for most people to do, and there’ll probably be a day where they’ll understand the awareness you were trying to bring to the organization. :)

@Abby – Yeah, their loss I think. Still, it was better I left now when the direction they wanted to head in was only just becoming clear, rather than 6 months from now all miserable and upset. Cheers for your comment, hey :)

@Liz – â™¥! Hell YES better projects in the future, Sinter will carry us on :)

@Stephanie – Thanks chicka, I’m glad I knew when to say when. Better now than when things are worse . :)

Cheers to you for knowing when to let something go. That’s something most people don’t have.

I’m sorry about this.
Something similar happened to me when I was doing webdesign a few years ago. A client put the design/site in my hands, then hated anything I did. You can’t work like that. It’s just too bad they can’t recognize the good you were trying to do.
