    NB>>$7 an hour...?   That's $7 more than I ever got volunteering... ;)    
    NB>>All my volunteering was for free, and largely not even recognized...

     Wait a sec, I can't remember if I corrected this or not now.  I might have   
   paused at a message so long that I missed it when the BBS autologged me out if   
   I wasn't watching pointers carefully...   
     The work that I was talking about wasn't volunteer; I must've had not nearly   
   enough coffee in me when I made that message.  It was 501(c)3 non-profit   
   charity work.  I've done some volunteer work in my time, as well.  Not a whole   
   lot, but the unsung stuff that needs to be done on some days with nothing else   
   going on.  Plus multiple times when I've been out shoveling for others in the   
   upper midwest where I just figured hell, this neighbor is older, this neighbor   
   has health problems, why not just do the whole face of the block?   
     Volunteer work has its benefits, and is probably something I should look into   
   more than just at Free Geek around here, but the work that I was referencing   
   there was really, _really_ underpaid interview specialist work for determining   
   which applicants weren't fraudulently seeking funds and then, as funding was   
   available, allocating and dispersing those funds to those who were truly in   
   need.   
     I was always amazed that I made at much at that job as I did at McD's as a   
   trainee at the same time.  Until I'd been at McD's for a month.  Then I was   
   making less helping those in desperate need than I was poisoning those who   
   wanted their cooked pink slime.  :|
