I donated some books to the library a few weeks ago and noticed a lot of donations just sitting there. Normally they’re sorted reasonably quickly. I went back earlier this week and found that the only thing that had changed was that the donations had grown.
Leaving them there was really bothering me. Some of those books could be put into circulation or sold in the shop. I called and asked if they needed volunteers to help sort them. I got a very emphatic yes.
It was a relief to hear a very emphatic yes. I’m going slightly stir crazy as of late. My resume was sent on for a contract position at Prestigious Government Agency and I had a 2nd interview at Prestigious Non-Profit both last week. I called to ask about the interview but they’re trying to staff a position they need filled immediately. They’re very interested in me and I’ll know something when Staffing Agency knows something. It’s also right before Christmas so most places aren’t doing much other than winding down.
Since they’re both big names with good potential, I don’t want to commit to another job until I know those aren't an option. I thought about joining a gym near my house but it’s $100 initiation fee and $30 monthly. Since my income is rather fixed, I can’t justify that expense. Volunteering will get me out of the house and some exercise since I'll be lifting books. I'll also be doing something good, putting books to use. I hope something good comes from this.
