I cleaned the river bank with a thing organised by work. That was 4 hours of condoms tampons and hypodermics...

1793.5 hours

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is to high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up.

Does volunteering at Open Days at work count? I've done two, I'm not paid and I spent the whole time helping lost people. If it does it's another 8 hours for the total...

Well, I should think so! So that's 1801.5 Hours.

Now I can add 2 hours PTA, 5.5 hours camp preparation and 214 hours at camp!

Running total now 2023 hours.

I've just done a weeks worth of volunteering at Pioneer II camp at Woodlarks...my time off each day probably averages about six hours for sleep (I had two half night duties).

I'm going to estimate 114 hours over the week, which brings us to 2137 hours.

Imagine fighting the power of the gods with flashlight batteries! Needless to say, it didn't work, and everyone died.

Camp's happened. I'll work out my hours when I'm a little more recovered. And post the spider picture.

And poke Coolio to post her hours too.

eep. Haven't updated this in aaaaages.

These are rough estimates but I reckon there was 100 hours prep fo camp in the few weeks leading to camp and then 90 hours at camp (I did less than Coolio as I had 2 days at civilian work too).

Since then, about 10 hours prep for the next camp.

Total: 2983

I totally forgot to add the helping out I did for nothing when we took Amazing Radio to a festival (I got my food and a canvas roof...)

Drove down thursday, helped out all day friday and saturday and drove back Sunday, think it's fair to call all of them 15 hour days - 60 hours.

3186 hours in total.

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is to high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
