Nancy,

This apparently got eaten by the black hole, too... never saw it
anywhere but on the bbs I sent it from. Dunno if it was length or just NB>bad karma... ;) Just in case it was length, I've split it in two... NB>first half mostly about work... ;)

The BBS echo gremlins are at it again. <G>

Some aspects of being a manager would carry over from one to the
other, but moving from fast food to prepared food would take it up
a notch or two... :)

I did some manager training while employed at Burger King, but I
couldn't cut the mustard...never mind stirring the mayonnaise. :P

From what I've seen so far, you don't need that sort of a
pressure-cooker environment... :)

Too many jobs are that way nowadays...although remember that STRESSED
spelled backwards is DESSERTS. :)

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

N.A.V.Y. -- Never Again Volunteer Yourself. <G> Yet, I find myself
doing that quite a bit with ham radio, with traffic nets, license exam sessions, etc. You'd think I would've learned to say "NO" sooner or
later. :P

Daryl

Does seem somewhat intentional... <G>

Nice theory... ;)

Oh, I've learned to say NO... and mean it... but there are still some
worthy causes that I'll still help out with... :)

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. :|
