Nothing to see here. Keep moving.
A couple of days ago I made a posting about how I'd received all kinds of traffic to Mera Art since the infamous wreck pictures. In a fit of genius I managed to delete that posting, however. *sigh* Anyway, the wreck has since been cleared do to our excellent insurance policy which covers "muscle-car's creating a drive-through where there wasn't one previosly." I also made mention that I'd left the Mentor group finally. I don't think LL really cares about the quality of helping new folks, just that someone is available to answer the odd question or two. Well as much as I love helping, I work in a RL job that fosters mediocrity, so I don't need to subject myself to the same thing in SL.
That being said, I've found new challenges in SL which will make my volunteer & social time much more limited, so it all works out.
Also, Mera Art was never fully completed, although it was close to it. The amount of traffic received was quite odd to me as I'd never posted its location, nor had it searchable in SL. I guess I should see if anyone was linking to it from their website.
*IF* you were linking to the place, could you take it down? Not that I don't appreciate the traffic, but right now everyone that tries is going to get an "access denied" message. Why, you ask? Because the whole build is gone and the parcel has been made restricted access. Yes, it will be back. I've got wondrous plans for something new, improved, and very cool. I just need to find the time to do it. Until then, though, the land is locked up. Sorry everyone. I'll let you know when the doors have been reopened, though.
Overdoing it?
As I'm writing my last entry I began to review, as I've been doing a lot of lately, my commitments within SL.
Sundays:
- 3:00 – Teach Basic Building
4:30 – Help with collections at Building Shelter(Coal has agreed to be the official helper! Yay!)
Tuesdays:
- 2:00 – Provide backup to Tateru's Basic Building Class
(not a requirement, but I do what I can)
Thursdays:
- 4:00 – Host Building Shelter
Fridays:
- 4:00 – Teach Very Basic Scripting
- 6:00 – Teach Basic Building
I love doing all that I can, but I'm starting to wonder if I've overcommitted myself. Add this that I'm a Mentor who spends a bit of time on Help Island and we rapidly run out of Mera time.
Yes, yes, I know there are plenty of hours in the day, but I do have a bit of a life outside of SL. Shocking, I know, but it's true. I received word that someone else had picked up the Basic Scripting class, so I may bail on that one. Decisions.
