[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 607971, member: 1550"] Went very well. Totally different kind of volunteers. Older, stable, no outward drama, no felons (lol), and I did catch onto it. Not as much fun as the other place, but I can drop in and work whenever I feel like it and I get to see all the items that come in before they are put out there (terrible for my pocketbook!). Since I lost so much weight I seriously need new pants and haven't gotten many pairs so for $3.49 plus a 25% volunteer discount I can get some new ones in my size and stop having to pull up my waist every time nobody is looking! I was quiet and friendly when spoken to. I watched to see who was in charge and who to ask if I had questions. I am still depressed over the rejection. I guess that will take time. It always does. On the up side, at my age I have to learn social skills or I will be lonely, so it's not a terrible thing that I had the wake up call. It's just never easy to be rejected. I swear I have Aspergers. Moms, teach your differently wired kids appropriate social skills as soon as you can. It socks to learn them at sixty...lol :) [/QUOTE]
