I decided I am going to start volunteering at the animal shelter again (I haven't in 4 years, since moving back to Illinois). Reason being the manager is such a witch - she just has no compassion for the animals what so ever and looks at everything from a management stand point... but I decided I am going to do it to benefit the animals and maybe I can approach things in a way that will make her like me as well...although I have never been particularly good at that LOL, especially in situations like these...I'm a little nervous for myself.
