I am feeling in sort of a crappy state. I just can not seem to get motivated. I go to work and can't wait to leave. I am glad I have a week off in a few weeks. I guess I will take my aggressions out on cleaning the house. That is good for getting rid of frustrations.
On Saturday I went to do the Household Hazardous Waste clean up. A few times a year in Western PA they will have one day a month when you can get rid of your hazardous things. Such as, oil, paint, insecticides, and other things of that nature.
This was the first year I volunteered because I felt it was a good thing to do. I live in Allegheny County, which was one of its sponsors..
There were a lot of volunteers and we got a lot of things done. BUT, as I am standing there waiting for the people to file in a woman asked me if I was an employee of Allegheny; County. NO, as we spoke and I found out, the employees of Allegheny County got paid time and a half to be there. What was the definition of VOLUNTEER???? I really felt that I was being taken advantage of....why was I there on my day off, blissfully thinking I was helping when the majority of them were getting paid for it.
I will not do that again. To think that my hard money, paying my county taxes was going to pay for alleged volunteers at this event. It really made me a bit angry.
Never again.
