Places that depend on volunteers should cherish them and a heartfelt "thank-you very much" takes nothing from the budget. Volunteers often provide a much better time for the visitors because they "want" to be there and "love" what they are doing. I've learned so much from you. Thank-you! <br /><br />http://travelinglongdogs.blogspot.com/TravelingLongdogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07562207397650862936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-27824046009544764222012-04-29T10:40:02.631-05:002012-04-29T10:40:02.631-05:00Safe travels.

They were so upset with me leaving them, even after my extra hours I put in training my replacement. I got the cold shoulder from everyone, and on my last day I faced piles of work and knew I would end up staying late. My replacement didn't care and left at 5. Not one person came into my office to say goodbye. When my work was done, it was after 7 p.m. I walked out of that office into a dark empty building, laid my keys on the boss's desk, and left with tears in my eyes. There was not a single goodbye echoing in my ears other than the one I said to myself. Sigh. <br /><br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Our Blog) RVing: Small House...

One would think even a small reception with cake and ice cream, wouldn't cut into their budget or time too deeply. They are lucky you enjoy what you're doing, or you would have pulled out a lot sooner.
