kirkcudbrightLast night was the annual volunteer appreciation event at Nevins Farm. It was overwhelmingly volunteers from the small animal shelter. This makes sense, because the barn has fewer animals, and more self-sufficient animals, so we have maybe half a dozen volunteers a day, versus the army that has to walk the dogs, clean the cat boxes, etc. But this meant I was surrounded by a lot of strangers with whom I had a nominal affiliation, which always makes me kind of edgy.
For 3 years of service, they figure you're going to stick around for a while, and give you this engraved name tag. (Actually, I've been there 2½ years, almost exactly, but they only do this once a year, so they rounded up everyone from 2007.) It's a stupid piece of plastic, but it actually makes me happy to have it, because of what it represents.
