One of my goals for my funemployment was to do some volunteer work. It is something I have wanted to do while employed, but my job took up a tremendous amount of time, made me incredibly depressed and pretty much useless to most people. So I just threw money @ charities [which is great, too - but I wanted a more hands-on approach this time around]. Earlier this week I targeted a few different organizations that I was really interested in volunteering for and found an opportunity at Sheena's Place - which is a support centre for people with eating disorders.
So today I went on an interview for a volunteer position. I would be helping out with some reception and other assorted administrative duties for a few hours each week at the centre. It is a cause that is near and dear to me [weee - cliches!] and one that I would love to be involved with [just had to end the sentence on a preposition like that]. They do important work - they save people's lives. And I do think that doing volunteer work will go a long way in helping to save me as well - it's work that I can enjoy, not work that will destroy me [and I need to learn that].
