frustration

Political parties often complain about the lack of volunteers. I've always found this arguement annoying because I've made myself available over and over again, and either phone calls are never returned or messages never returned.

Maybe it's my ego getting in the way. But countless times, especially during civic elections I've made my services available to organizations wanting to defeat the NPA, previously for COPE and now for the newly minted "Vision Vancouver". Vision Vancouver wrote back and said "what would you like to do?" I told them pretty much anything, and then bupkus, nothing, zip, zero, nada.

I'm not going to beat myself up to offer my services for free.
