So congrats to me, I think. I lost a sidegig that was paying me close to about 4,000 a year. I am a teacher and I was serving as the elected faculty rep (union), basically the person who meets with our leadership team and shares concerns that staff has. The stipend is approx 4,000 a year. I have done the job for 3 years, and it took a lot of time and energy. For example, people were texting me with issues while I was on paternity leave. Anyways I lost my re-election bid. It stung initially, because I did put a lot into it, but it was extremely cathartic to let it go. It's hard dealing with people who are stressed and unhappy. I no longer have to "own" other peoples issues. I can simply offer support if needed, but it is no longer my job to try and fix. I probably wouldn't have given it up voluntarily. The money was nice, but I don't need.
So congrats to me, I think! :)
