I hope you'll put all this together into a single article soon!

Because of that, I have tried to approach my current role a little differently. I am trying to not get caught in doing more than I should, especially when there are capable people here. I have actually said no to my participation in a couple of projects that the sr minister overfunctioned in before he left. I wouldn't take over the role that he had with these projects and it caused some anxiety with other people. Some have stepped up but sadly, they also pulled an office staff member into the triangle to have her do "their" work. (i gave her fair warning that this would happen) This is not to say that I am not overfunctioning now in other triangles and I am reacting to those and currently trying to work on my "stuff" there. Never ending it seems. As I have learned where my anxiety causes me to overreact, I have been able to see the triangles that I get hooked into.
