Yes, at EBoard tonight, there were only 2 advisors, the Chapter and me (Finance). Recruitment didn't make it - and WORSE, she is moving to Chicago in JULY! OMG she was great, she went to DLC, and now she's going!
(TME was throwing a bridal shower back home and Standards went home for her 8-yr old cousin's birthday party. Both women have had job-related conflicts all semester (except TME who was present for Recruitment!) and their officers are not following up with them or Chapter - or me (I was last year's Standards Advisor also).
I am going to write a Help Wanted ad in the next NJ alum newsletter, describing the committement required for each advisor, telling the time it takes for me to drive there (it IS another state...) and begging for help.
I'm going to be travelling for work, with the new job I start next MON. I will be able to do my job, but won't be able to answer 10,000 questions at midnight during Recruitment. I can't be the only one at MSS until 3AM. I can't be answering all the NMC's questions or questioning the Leadership plans or the Social Event Planning form (wouldn't care if the form wasn't filled out or was filled out in Japanese - so long as all the dang facts were thought about and known more than one week before Formal!).
We need an Alumna Advisor thread to rant - I mean, to share with one another our own experiences.
