Delegation! My therapist says it's healthy.

[xp_wildchild]

So it turns out that trying to do like

all the big maintenance tasks for the mansion that can be done by one dude
and be an X-Man and do hand to hand for like three people (sorry Maya you're moving to Gar and Logan's class consider it a graduation present, your present is bruises)
and learn to fly a plane
and teach 30 hours a week
and therapy and volunteer work
and Danger Room scenario making
and Gen-X training
and chickens (Alani sorry about the text spam but Brooster Banner is TOO GOOD OF AN IDEA TO IGNORE)

is kinda a lot for one dude, um, in my defense I didn't realize how much I was doing until my therapist made me do a sleep chart. I kinda wasn't.

you know sleeping - I wasn't.

Anywayway like. I need some volunteers so I don't voluntold people for mansion stuff - groundskeeping, getting to ride the big riding mower (we can't delegate that one to a paid groundskeeper, because of the grounds security, we legit have to have someone from here who knows why there's graffiti on the walls that can't get removed), some student teaching...

mostly Gen X stuff, because the last time we had new people here it was me and Angel and Keller and now it's me, and I need help because I am drowning

and drowning Kyle is an asshole

RIDING MOWER YES PLEASE!

I can do a lot of stuff. I can show you if you want?

but uh, not today? today I feel kinda ooky.

[xp_wildchild]

Nobody's doing groundswork today. Today I'm making lists.

[xp_liono]

k....if you want me, I'm outside in the big tree

[xp_banshee]

I’m happy to help with Gen-X, since I’m already working with Shatterstar on his powers. Just let me know which parts in particular would be most helpful or best suited for me to assist.

[xp_wildchild]

Ima setup a group chat once i have volunteers. We're pretty far back on self-defense and like the security training and the like, explanations of stuff and fuuuuuuuuuuck I am backlogged on stuff.

[xp_banshee]

Excellent. I’ll keep an eye out for that. ❤️ Let me know if you’d like some help with all the lists.

[xp_darcy]

I.. hm. Can help with DR scenarios? I actually enjoy that. Maybe some pinch hitting for Gen X training, but I think there are others who can provide better support there.

And not the day-to-day with chickens but I have low-key been helping with the mucking. We can work something out with my schedule, maybe monthly.

[xp_wildchild]

I'll send you a meeting invite for DR stuff. You and NaniteBoy are on my short list to help, not for the big awful one (you know the one you're already helping with that) but like the basics. I mean we should cross team support that anyway and you guys are legit smart at this stuff.

[xp_darcy]

The big awful one is why I'm interested (but it is in fact awful).

[xp_rictor]

I can help with outside things like mowing and gardening

[xp_hawkeye]

I’d offer hand to hand help, but I don’t want to over commit since I’m overseeing the last of the Chapel upgrades and doing portal stuff. If anybody wants some archery training, though, I’m 100% your guy.

[xp_legion]

I can help with GenX, at least in some areas. I know training for psi-shielding is always in demand.

[xp_longshot]

I would be more than happy to help wherever you might need me with GenX. I'm already working with a couple of them on weapon training.

[xp_magik]

i will give speech on Do Not Touch The Magic That Means You for new people. they probably do not have good understanding of terrible ways magic will kill them.

also am available to help with sword lessons. cannot do programs but will give update on limbo if that canada guy wants.

[xp_daytripper]

I have a powerpoint and stuff from my "Magic 101: Don't touch the bloody thing!" session I usually run a couple of times of year that might help. :)

[xp_magik]

no touching no reading out loud and definitely no bleeding near the magic shit

[xp_mayhem]

I can probably help with some groundswork and hand to hand or other basic combat skills?

I mean, I'd like to learn to fly the plane too, but I can't do that for you, and the chickens are kinda scared of me?

[xp_echo]

Yeah you can put me to work. I’m good with chopping wood or hanging shutters or just general yard or maintenance work.

I’ll even help out with the teenagers.

I can’t believe you’re gifting me to Gar and Logan. I’m making you draw me the first ice bath you jerk. (I kid, it’s fine. Long as you’re not dipping on dance classes)

[xp_cypher]

Bro. Yes, your mental health is important.

(I say as someone who wrecked their mental health by trying to tough things out once upon a time)

I can handle some hand-to-hand if you want to send some of that my way. I'm not the handiest person ever, but I'm happy to help with lifting and carrying sometimes.

[xp_darcy]

you are, in fact, very handy. chatty hands, even.

[xp_cypher]

That's 'handsy', babe. ;-)

[xp_darcy]

are we starting a round of that's not x, it's y?

you're that too, though.
