Hi, Judy, I had a nice little laugh with your parody on the Jeff Foxworthy
routine. I know I'm a bookshare volunteer because I buy books for Bookshare
to fill in gaps in book series. I know I'm a bookshare volunteer because
despite all the stuff I've downloaded from the Bookshare site, the only
stuff I've finished are books I've proofread for a submitter. I know I'm a
Bookshare volunteer because I like talking about what I'm proofreading.
Honey, this woman isn't feeling blasé about Bookshare, I can tell you! Is
there hope for me in actually reading stuff that is already in the
collection? Help! Regards, Kim.

I don't want to clutter the list, but I've had a really massively bad month
and decided to write up something totally lighthearted and frivolous
tonight, just to relax and have a little fun.
smile. Enjoy.
You know you're a Bookshare Volunteer if?
- You've ever worn out a scanner;
- you're thrilled that the books you just bought on eBay have loose spines
because they'll scan easier and you don't feel guilty about damaging them if
it happens;
- you automatically change "die" to "the" in everything you read, because it
just has to be a scanno, right?
- you know where to find or have memorized the codes to put into Word or
Kurzweil to search for a smart quote, a tab, a paragraph mark or a carriage
return;
- you know what a header is in a book;
- someone says the word stripper and you immediately think "page break blank
line page number blank line" instead of "seedy night clubs";
- you have more books to read than time to read them for the first time in
your life, and those aren't the ones you're reading because you're scanning
or proofreading yet another book;
- you've ever scanned or proofread a book you discovered you absolutely
hated halfway through, and finished it anyways because someone else asked
you for help with it;
- you proofread or scanned a book instead of listening to the Superbowl;
- the local librarian tells you you're their most active patron and the
staff is dying to know why because you're blind and can't read printed
books; and
- You know that Cherry Ames isn't a new soft drink!
