Oh no! Been there done that!

I volunteered to call to have all the left over stuff picked up after the neighborhood garage sale...easy, right?

Wrong, it took me two hours to get the addresses and email addresses, then I sat on the phone for an hour giving the names and addresses..okay done..right?

Wrong! I've had calls from people "I" left off the list..so I got all that corrected, sent out an email telling everyone it was to be picked up Tuesday leave it outside the garage with a note on it telling it was to be picked up.

I've already received five emails asking me what time Tuesday? Do I know??? NO.

I've had five telephone calls, what do I do if it's raining...Do I know?

Moral of the story.... Never volunteer for ANYTHING no matter how small it seems at the time.
