It has been ab-so-lute-ly *fabulous* to have more time to spend here during the last week, especially after last week!  That will probably change now that I have my wheels back, as of just a few minutes ago.  Personal circumstances change all the time, don't they.  I believe most everyone would recognize that outside volunteer opportunities are an important facet of all of the many other things we already know that we need to do in the office in order to stay in the faces of those we want to impress and receive favor from.  And, the things that we do just because we want to do our very best job for the company and ourselves.  Whether we *feel* like working at them or not, outside volunteer opportunities are especially great when they benefit others as well as us, too.  I think it was Smith Wigglesworth who said, "If the spirit doesn't move me, I move it."  In your case, Andrea, moving your spirit to do those outside jobs put you over the top.  It's just that 2% extra effort that does the trick, in most cases.  Yeah, doggone food, doggone shoes!  I rue the day that someone thought up Limited Too or, rather, I rue the day they thought up their prices and the scheme to get you back in within a month to spend (deep sigh) more money.
