One of the groups I volunteer for raises some money by providing some volunteers at the local bingo hall once a month. Last night was our night, and I was one of the volunteers.

I'm very introverted and not exactly a people person, so that kind of volunteer work - dealing with the public - is very difficult for me. I usually volunteer by sitting on boards and committees, where I deal with a small group of people, in a quiet atmosphere, just doing things that are easy for me, like making decisions about programs, funding, staffing, etc.

But dealing with the public, in a busy place like a bingo hall, is pretty hellish for me.

I sign up to do it, because, well, I feel an obligation to the organization, and we make some pretty decent money for a few hours of work. So I look at it as a job, and tell myself that I have no choice.

I know a few weeks ahead of time that I'll be doing it, and the anxiety builds over the weeks until the night of the bingo. I feel nervous, nauseous, and it's all I can do to stave off a panic attack.

Afterwards, I feel a great deal of satisfaction about having faced my fears and done it.

Of course, then I start to look ahead to the following month and the cycle starts again. frown

Illegal immigrants also spend $7 billion each year in the US, a nice big chunk of GNP.

The "molester" refers to the guy who kept sticking his hand up my dress in my own house at my own wedding party. Getting hit by a bus is too good for him. Unfortunately, like I said, he has blackmail material.
