Fix things Friday

[luzula]

So I used to post semi-regularly on Fridays, with a list of all the organizational volunteer work I'd done recently, in order to encourage myself and show that yes, actually I do things even if it feels like I don't do enough (because given the state of the world, nothing would actually be enough). I don't intend to take this up regularly again, but I thought I'd do it now and then, at least.

During the last two weeks I have:

• Been on TV!
• Chaired two board meetings for my environmental organization, as well as preparing the agenda for both.
• Done book-keeping for environmental organization.
• Attended and chaired a members' meeting for the union chapter, though not prepared it--that was done by a board member, though he looked relieved when I offered to chair, because I know he hates it. Also, this had to be held in English since there were two non-Swedish-speaking members there--I am not used to chairing meetings and talking about union issues in English, but I think that didn't hurt, because they were not native English speakers anyway and thus it was best to keep the language simple and not use technical terms.
• Attended and wrote minutes at a members' meeting of the university union club.
• Submitted Lots of Opinions on the draft for new bylaws for the central federation level of the union, because of course I did. Also volunteered myself as chair of the central union congress next year, because I enjoy such things, whereupon I got the reply that usually people don't line up for that, ha ha.
• Read and written lots of emails about various matters, mostly in the environmental organization.

All meetings over Zoom, obviously...also, from this list it is probably apparent that I am not much of an activist, whatever that means, but more of an organizational infrastructure kind of person.
