Today, I washed countless plastic forks, wedged a few blocks of rather wet clay, and won a couple games of solitare, and picked up a book off the floor.
The Children's Museum is very overstaffed. There are simply too many volunteers, asked to do the same work as the lowest tier paid-staff, so there's a lot fo waiting around, waiting for five minutes of chaos to make the day worthwhile. One girl, Kristi, who has been a paid staff member for a year scarcely has more responsibility than a volunteer of similar tenure.
