But I have a very good reason.
Tonight was my work's annual fundraiser. It's a ton of work. The staff puts in a lot of extra time and money and it sometimes is horrifically challenging.
But we kinda HAVE to be there.
The people who VOLUNTEER to be there are the real rock stars. There were several people who were there just as long as I was and didn't have to be. They did it because they WANTED TO. They are home right now, icing their feet, putting heating pads on their backs, and counting down until NEXT year. Because next year, they will be there again, despite still aching feet from the year prior, and do it all over again simply to help.
These people are amazing. All the volunteers in the world amazing. I don't know why you do it, I don't know if you actually enjoy it, but I don't care. Because regardless of your reason: you're amazing.
Thank you to the volunteers of the world. Keep doing what you do.
