Being a senior sure has its privileges and I am not speaking of common perks that you see everyday but the ones that others have to exert effort while you simply wait for your invite to be handed over. Aside from the perks working with dedicated and bright people tickles my interests because there are a few people in my circle who speaks my language. However, being in this position is not without downsides.
First, leading an organization with a big population isn't an easy task even with the help of your officers. They can help you in a lot but the 'head' must think two steps ahead while striving to improve what is behind and this is giving me my worst head sore. Not to mention external pressures that don't stop accumulating and oftentimes when expectations aren't met you get a nasty feedback. Criticisms are accepted but it becomes demotivating when they drop them like a B-52 Bomber.
Second, you always go home late! You plan, meet with fellow officers, organize events and then do the restoration afterwards. Expect to come early in the morning and leave late in the evening or even at dawn. Decent sleep becomes almost impossible as the target date is nearing and you can't attribute it whether its just you or constant worrying is wearing you off. Either way it's tiring.
Third, tasks seem endless. Even when you delegate them there's still so much to do! Before fully accomplishing the first a second one stacks on top and more tasks ensue. Even after the actual event tasks related to it are still surfacing. Like providing the "higher ups" with end-reports.
Last, your head is ALWAYS on the chopping block. Anything that goes wrong is your fault. Nuff said.
