Very busy, very exciting, lots of good opportunities to develop stuff and fascinating people to work with. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now and can’t imagine it any other way.

I think it’s the same in other organizations related to community enterprise because we tend to believe in what we do and therefore really invest ourselves in our dreams working.

And hiring staff will not make you have less of a workload, quiter the contrary in my experience.

Objet : [TheThinkTank] full-timers/directors/project coordinators: how'sthe job treating you?

since taking on directing sopo full time, i've come to find that this job is all kinds of intense.  wonderful, but exhausting.  i'm wondering.. how much if it is me and how much of it is this job?  is it unique to community bike shops, or is it like this for other kinds of organizations?  or is it more about the organization being a start-up?  for the folks in a similar position: what's your day like?  hanging in there?

thanks!
