School Update: Volunteering

I have been volunteering at a local non-profit boutique thrift store for the past few weeks. The goal was to complete 33 hours of community service for my LAST university unit.

(In theory will have my actual degree within a month or so)

I have been working all day the past few Sundays, and every. single. day. after work for at least 2 hours.

This store has great potential. It is a little run down looking, but it has character. I've inadvertently committed to working here for longer than my required hours, because I actually feel like I might be able to help them.
The lady that started and runs the place is totally scatter-brained. She needs some major help. Luckily my specialty happens to be organization, which is desperately needed.

This week's project has been a full office clean up. I don't even know how she can find anything, ever. It is such a mess.

She keeps all of her phone numbers in a day planner...

from two years ago...

She remembers how to find people based on which month they started.

For example, I started in April, so to find me she flips to her April section.

Who does that!?

I'm trying to improve her life....
