You never realize how much work goes into something until you do it.

Easily can be applied to staffing a convention.

Holy Balls.

Man I have been on the staff for Rainfurrest and was on the board for 4 years and know enough that you DO NOT want the con char position...

Running Charity is enough for me.

I may be the only anime con guest who actually pitched in to help con staff. I know how tough this stuff can be!

Indeed it is! That's why I've always run for the hills whenever somebody has asked me to volunteer or help. x.x

Mmhmmm, I had a friend doing staff duty collapse in the middle of a con. Had to be taken to the hospital by an ambulance and all - the guy exhausted himself 'til he passed out o.o

Been there, suffered that.

I used to be a staff member at Megaplex, down in Orlando, Florida.  For two years (starting with Megaplex 3 in 2004), I was the scheduling coordinator, then for the following three years, I still did the badge art.  All this while still paying for a membership (mostly because I still wanted to be a financial contributor, despite already having access just due to being a staff member).

Megaplex isn't even that big of a convention, and yet being the scheduling coordinator was sheer, unmitigated hell for me.  Doing the badge art was a lot easier, but by Megaplex 8, that duty went back to the guests, so I kinda lost my job with the staff.  That was actually something of a relief for me, honestly.
