He is busy much of the time (I don't believe the 6 - 8 hours) trying to fill positions for volunteers who are sick or otherwise need to be off. Of course, that depends on how much they really need any one specific volunteer job. Maybe it will work out okay for you.

I am constantly whining to my husband, "How do you do....?" Pathetic, I know, but it works for me. I remember twelve or so years ago when Best put in computers to place your orders on in their store in Spokane. Older, excuse me, I mean 'pre-computer age'. people were so very intimidated by them. One I observed was in tears. I can remember feeling sorry for them. I'm sure your help and understanding will be appreciated.

It doesn't surprise me that you are among the more competent volunteers.<br /><br />I had an old man ask me at an assignment the other day if I had seen him on TV (he is a bit of a media hound). I said, "No, I don't have a TV," and he said "Oh, so you're LOW TECH, are you?" and I said "Not particularly. I just don't have a TV."
