 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.  :|
