Put In Some Overtime for Hurricane Katrina Relief.
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 07:37 AM by mcscajun
I only have one part-time job these days, and it's less than I really need to get by, BUT...

...I found myself putting in almost ten hours over my usual schedule this week. I had plans for that money, but there are people on the Gulf who need it far, far more than I do. I'll find some way to manage on the money I PLANNED to earn this week, I usually do.

So, as soon as I get the paycheck for this past week, all my OT hours go to Katrina Relief.

If you work a job that lets you pick up an extra shift, why not do that and donate the OT money?

1. Also if you are really lucky enough to have things like stock options
Why not sell some of them to donate? That's what I did.

And I'm not rich, I'm just fortunate enough to have some good benefits. Like every American worker should have.
