It Was a Good Try

There is a secondhand shop downtown - other than the one owned by my landlord. I have frequented it before and there are always two friendly but for sure crazy ladies there. I went downtown to walk around the farmer's market to get some sun and exercise and saw that they had a sign in there shop saying their hours would be sporadic because someone was ill. I need to keep my time free for job searching but figured I could give up 8-10 hours a week and volunteer to work there. I thought it a win win proposal since they would be able to stay open and make money but not spend money and I would have something fun and interesting to do ---- how easily can you picture me working in this junk shop just chatting away with everyone. The owner was very appreciative of my offer but said that others had offered the same and she looked into it and it would cost too much to change their insurance. I left her my contact info in case she changed her mind. I thought it a clever idea but understand her position. I will keep looking around.
