I realized while I was beating a couple dead horses to death(and carelessly and innocently I might add throwing wikipedia quotes into my posts ) on another thread that maybe I could be using my time and talents more wisely....
My daughter has started a new job as Volunteer Coordinator at a charity that prepares and delivers meals to people with AIDS, Lou Gehrig's, MS, undergoing Chemo, etc. Well, she has offered me an opportunity to be a cook's helper(I actually was one in college) or drive around delivering meals...the pay is nothing to speak of, actually let me check - why it is nothing, guess that's why they call it volunteering....I would have the additional opportunity of having my little girl be my boss god help me...but it would mean not having the time anymore to post threads about - Most Unusual Police Reports, and dig through wikipedia for arcane quotes and debate really important stuff like if Gore had been elected where would we be today, etc. (like what are the chances anyone is going to say, god I never thought of that, you know you're right, thank you for pointing it out - I think you've not only changed my view on that but also the way I want to live my life)....so I knew I would eventually be doing some kind of volunteering and that just writing checks wasn't going to get me into heaven and after all I have do my part to keep Minnesota #1 (it's got to be #1 in something, but with global warming we are going up a few notches in weather) in the volunteer category....I'm just determining now what kind of boss my daughter will be...whether it would be good for our relationship and whether it would be a good career move
