Volunteering for the Unexpected
Isn’t it weird how when you’re trying really hard to do something it doesn’t work and then when you stop thinking about it, you do your best?
I’d been dreading last Saturday’s shift (as you know) because it was on an important night for me — Halloween. Plus I really hadn’t gotten the hang of the Volunteer thing.
