Just for today, I can volunteer for Good Causes...even when they are no fun. Being of service is not always fun, in fact, it can be downright abusive. Yesterday, I volunteered for a nameless good cause and spent the day on my feet being yelled at by petite older ladies who felt obligated to share with me how tired they were from working so hard...for free! While I wasn't really working as hard as they were, I was sufficiently tired and decided to spend some time partaking of the food and festivities (thinking, that as a volunteer, which means, No Pay, that it made sense to at least enjoy the food at this event). Well, needless to say the shame that I felt for enjoying my salmon burger, skewered fried shrimp, champagne and strawberry shortcake was not worth the deliciousness. The old ladies did not take any breaks (a fact they were strangely proud of) and stared at the remains of my strawberrry shortcake dish as if it were a piece of pornography. I tried to focus on the Good Cause for the remainder of the day, but was branded with the Scarlet letter of E for "Enjoyment." Nonetheless, I have to remind myself that I was of service and just for today it's OK to volunteer for Good Causes even if nobody there likes me.
