There's way, way too much to do. Something is an emergency to someone absolutely all the time. There's not enough resources to make everything possible at the speed that would be preferable. Someone is always monumentally disappointed. Feedback rarely comes in any form other than grief - even after midnight on a Sunday. Oh, and there's no money. Idealism just isn't enough sometimes. I can't imagine I will ever help manage another non-profit ever, ever again.
