I do volunteer work for three organizations. The number one lesson I’ve learned is that you just can’t herd cats. They wonder in all directions, but come running when it’s meal time. In other words, a volunteer gets little or no help, but is expected to get the job done and gets blamed for anything and everything.
Why don’t I remember what I learned in the Army? Never volunteer for anything! But, even then I volunteered if I thought there was something in it for me. Like when, I would volunteer to load ammo on to trucks because I got to ride in a truck instead of walking miles and miles. Sure there was a chance the truck might explode, but that beat walking. Sometimes, you take your chances and it pays off.
Not this time.
