While I understand that many volunteers can be cranky every now and then, I ask everyone to understand where they are comming from. Most volunteers are taking time off from work to come in and work longer hours than they do in a normal day. Everyone is getting the idea of being "on schedule" jammed down their throats over and over, because if you aren't...alot of money and hastle is on the line. By the end of the day, your feet hurt, your voice is hoarse, you are dehydrated, worn down, and ready to get to bed and enjoy the 3 hours of sleep you get until you have to get up and do it all over again the next day.

While we have alot of fun doing it...it can get stressful, and yes...we can get snippy. In most cases, remember that we are cranky not because we are mean spirited, but because we are worn out and tired...just like any normal human being.

Great weekend to everyone!
