I volunteered at the Utah Food Bank yesterday.
It was great and all. I mean, I got warm fuzzies and stuff and had an awesome glow of awesomeness around me all day- like a halo affect er something? But can I just say one thing... the Utah Food Bank people need to reassess their personnel a little bit!
They had this guy- his job, best as I could tell, was to tell the groups of volunteer workers what to do. You know, volunteers- like groups from corporations, churches, communities, etc... He's dealing with a lot of different folks and personalities. With that in mind, you would think that they would hire a "people person" for that role. Holy crap!!! This guy was the polar opposite of "people person". He was on the other side of the planet from people person. He was people persons evil surly annoying twin. He was prickly, moody, wouldn't look you in the eye, mumbled directions, totally annoyed when all the volunteer minions were in the path of his fork lift, and became instantly upset when something wasn't done to his mumbled specifications that NO ONE COULD UNDERSTAND!!! I'm just sayin' Food Bank people. Kind of a major oversight there.
He was really conflicting with those warm fuzzies I was trying to give myself for being so great for volunteering.
Gosh I'm great.
Dang! Back off food bank guy!
I take it you were at the food bank in provo? That is funny cause my mom is basically the head person there and I know a few of the fork lift guys. Maybe I should pass the message along when I am there next week?!?:)
ReplyDeleteHow well do fork lifet/colunteer overseer's get paid? I'm a people person.
ReplyDeleteand apparently a crappy typist.
ReplyDeletei volunteered once at the church's food storage place in minnesota, and it's the same thing there. i would agree with your friend that they probably aren't getting paid much or anything at all. they might be volunteers too, but...it is true. why be pissy if you are there to help other people?
ReplyDeletehey, i don't know your real email or phone number. pete does, but he is swamped this week. is there a time after thursday that we can come by to do those cuts for izzy's play kitchen?
