I'm clearly going to have to ignore off-day texts from church mbrs. Answering back "I'm off today, I'll get w/ u tomorrow" isn't working.

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

Church admin staff… You might be overworked, and underpaid, but the Lord sees everything u do! How is ur attitude today? Do u love serving?

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

There's always that one church member that needs a favor at the worst possible time. How does he ALWAYS show up?!!

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

Gotta give a volunteer some feedback today. And all I can come up with is "This really sucks. What the crap were you thinking?!!" Fun times.

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

@JBender5 nope….Been there, done that. Not worth it.

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

I've worked here long enough that I know when not to ask questions...

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

That moment you see your name on your boss's calendar… And you know you didn't put it there...

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

@bethbeutler happens all the time 😣

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

And just like that, Pastor decides to flip the entire service on its head... #thisiswhyiprocrastinate

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

Might as as add "staff nurse" to my job description...

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

@ThePWLife you better believe I responded at 4 am :)

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

10:30 at night I get a text from a church member who has misplaced their Bible. Are you kidding me?

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

@CatFlo that's what I'm thinking at this point

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

Looking for a way to tactfully say: "no, seriously, you and your husband can't manage the 4 kids you have. You really don't need any more."

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

The 9 pm text that starts out "I'm sorry to bother you, but...

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

@JustinOswald yeah, just the text %. We do online and kiosk now and that's about 25-30% for us. Wondering is text worth the extra clutter?

[Tales From Church IT @TheChurchIT]

Lack of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

Oh, wait, it usually does.

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

@SecretaryTruths this very thing has caused me to hate my phone

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

@JustinOswald curious--what percentage of your church uses it in a regular basis?

[Church Secretary @AnonChurchSec]

Anyone out there use text giving?
