I second that as well, because you helped me with Zathura and Jumanji, Jamie.

Jamie, I'm so glad you discovered Bookshare to do your volunteering, and I like to think that I am one of your friends. I certainly do enjoy working with you on books. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Yates, CPhT To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 4:23 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Are volunteers really that important anymore? I tend to think of volunteers as people who work on books for the love of the book and outsources as people who work on books as a job. As a volunteer who is not a member, what I do for Bookshare is a labor of love, mostly the love of books, but there are many of you who I consider to be friends of mine and I would do books for you just because you are my friend. I think that is the difference between a volunteer and the outsourcer. Volunteers put their hearts and souls into their work, in most cases. Since we don't know the outsourcers, we can't make the same assumption. To them it may be just a job. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: The Assistant by Bernard Malamud See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
