            Mitch said that he also remembers working hard, but rarely
            feeling put upon to do the work.
              Sarah-Anne said  that  she experienced  a similar  such
            feeling whenever she’d pop by the summer camp while they
            were dating, in that there was always plenty of work to go
            around, which she always eager to assist with.

            there always seemed to be something to do.
