I spend my afternoons and evenings (1-8) sitting at the Goodwill in the drop-off room. There are carts there—big canvas laundry carts or the multi-shelved carts they use in restaurants—that I unload boxes of stuff into/on. I do a general sort: clothes, electronics, toys, accessories, books, useless knick-knacks. Mostly clothes.

Most people wash things before they bring them in; they wipe cobwebs off furniture that was in the attic and wash their clothes. But every now and then there’s a bag of clothes that’s like they just decided instead of doing laundry, they’d take it all to the Goodwill.
