yes, i have volunteered regularly my entire adult life.

frankly i cut way back the past couple of years because people are such miserable psychos to be around and it was making me miserable. I focus more now on doing volunteer work that doesn't involve people. it is a lot better.

i notice years ago volunteering was more about volunteering... now a lot of people think they should be 'rewarded' for their volunteer efforts. like with money. it's fucked up and why i cut way back. it's fucking weird people around 'volunteers' who are whining they they should get paid to do this.
