I've resigned from my staff position for MFF. I have found that I have a choice- I can either take time off for the convention, or I can go home for Christmas and see my family; not both.
Given the current climes amongst the people here, my family wins. No contest.
There were, of course, other reasons that influenced the decision immensely. However, I don't think this is an appropriate venue for that. The involved parties know how I feel about the situation, and I don't want to stoop to the level of mudslinging.
I wish I could say it was a good run; and despite what some might think, I do step down with something resembling regret. I don't like walking away from committments or responsibilities. The situation, however, has left me little choice. I value my sanity and my family more than I value a promise made to someone that no longer respects me.
If anyone has anything; anything at all to say to me. Please, by all means. Say it. I don't cry easily.
Have to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away... know when to run.

If this is the only reason to decide to leave the MFF crew, well, you made the right choice, Family first.
Still, in the basest terms, sucks.
More vacation next year?
One can always hope.
Family always comes first, it is a shame that you won't be able to staff this year's MFF though as I was really hoping to see how you were going to run the Art Show.
Maybe next year we can work something out
If you need to talk to anyone, shoot me an email at takaza (atboing)wolfhusky.org.
Yeah, family is mucho important, I know my entire Christmas season is doing the 'Tour de Illinois' as that is where my immediate family memebers live.
If you have any questions before the conchair and board announces a replacement, you may email artshow@furfest.org. If it goes to me, I will answer questions to the best of my ability. As soon as someone is chosen, I will have that email point to them. The new Director may want to change things, but at this late date, I imagine the procedures will stay much the same.
I don't know. I've washed my hands of it. I'll ease whomever takes the position in as much as I can, but I'm done.
I hope you're feeling better soon!
