It's the being out there alone that concerns me, Steph. It sounds like it needs to be a two-person job.

I agree. You are gone as of October 1. And that is being generous. Just the don't wanna is good enough reason. But If they can't solve the safety problem then finding a volunteer is there problem. You are not obligated to be unsafe while they do their search. In fact I'm leaning towards 2 minutes notice.

"Don't wanna" is sufficient, if we're in the 7-8 range. You're allowed to quit! You're allowed to let other people solve their own problems.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
(I have no idea why nobody heard her, especially yelling the word "help," and came out to see what was happening.)
That seems further evidence of their lack of concern about your safety and general security issues.

You're allowed to let other people solve their own problems.
This is key.
In my own world - cramps, multi-day migraine, period, AND hot flashes...suck. SUCK. Did I mention I have an IUD and don't normally have monthlies anymore? SUCKS!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just feel like I can't quit. Because they'll have to find a replacement, and it was hard enough to con me into doing it. And if they can't find a replacement, then they won't be able to have a library for the members. (WHO NEVER RETURN BOOKS.)
Well. Then they won't be able to have a library. It's not your responsibility to ensure they do have one. It is your right to feel safe, and it's your right to decide how to allocate your time.
If the library subsequently folds, it's on them. Your impact on the situation was to keep it running for longer than it otherwise would have.

Between the chair's response and you actually being faced with intimidating and/or crazy people in the past, I'd say they're lucky if you notify them you're quitting rather than just not showing up and letting them figure it out.

I just realized that having a grapevine probably means I can make stuffed grape leaves. In fact, I am probably obligated to.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Here's your dumb question of the day: are grape leaves actually edible, or are they just used to wrap up the edible stuff?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The leaves are edible.
