Stressed Out and Unsure

With being sick for the past two weeks, slowly recovering with the pains in my chest and with my personal life knocking me down, I have been stressed out to the extreme, but I always try and keep a smile on my face.

Well with the monthly meeting I go to for the shelter left me even more stressed out because someone is afraid of change. Whether people like it or not ( and by people I'm talking about old people (60+)) social media is the future and it has helped tremendously with getting our pets adopted. They are trying to change how we, the Media Team (that I am part of along with the cat walking) write our bios and blogs on the animals. They want us to keep them short and simple. But we grab more of an audience and gain more adoptions with a story about the animal, what their personalities are like and if they're a match for your family. If they take all of this away, it will hinder us and we will have a difficult time trying to get these animals homes. My boss, the Media Team Leader, and I tried to defend how we write and now it's in the Board's hands now. If they take away our writing freedom, it will make writing like a chore instead of being fun.

If you know me, I am not one that likes to be told what to do. I will somehow (and I am sure my boss would be on my side as well) find away to still try and keep writing about the animals fun and colorful, even if it pisses off the others that are afraid of change.

Being part of this organization has given me the confidence and independence I have craved for for many years and it has opened my eyes to many opportunities. I just hope they don't fuck us over.

I will see you guys Friday on the vlog!
