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