HSLB

[pivyca]

I submitted my application a year ago, complete with the page indicating schedule availability. I was contacted a few weeks later by a woman asking me to help staff a public event that was clearly on one of the days I listed as completely and totally unavailable. I wrote her back apologizing and offering, as I had stated on my application, to work in the office during my listed available hours in organizing and preserving their archival collections (my area of interest & knowledge).

I never heard from them again.

Sounds like a volunteer organization rule rather than the exception.
It's cool: if I have to stay on top of them for them to let me help them, that's no problem for me. I'll probably get more benefit out of the time spent with them than they will, so it's worth it to me.

Oh, I get that's it's all volunteers. And at the time they were moving into their new space and I was busy with school so I wasn't too worried about it. Just saying I'll be curious to see how your experience goes.

I'm hestitant to make any more commitments right now that would over extend myself. But maybe in the future.
