Off the Filmpool Board

Last night I resigned from the Filmpool Board. After 17 (non-consecutive) years serving the Board, this will certainly be my last. This makes me sad as I still have a lot of ideas and energy to contribute, but I've been in a downward spiral with commutating  lately. My significant and growing anxiety associated with zoom calls has not only lost me much sleep, but is creating turmoil in my home life. This has spilled over into my making further poor communication decisions. Ultimately, I need to pull back to only face-to-face conversations. I went from such a high yesterday, talking about creativity and story with Victoria and Logan in Saskatoon, to such depths after I opened by email when I arrived back home. I have always tried to be cautious when choosing my battles, but it seems that retirement has divorced me from many of the battles I would usually juggle while simultaneously giving me more time to actually get into fights. Ultimately, the Filmpool was only going to be hurt if I stayed, so I saved everyone that trouble.
