for information around Jan. 20, just as a member. With only a few mods at that time, I sent a modmail to see if they could use some help, and two days later I got mail where I had to verify myself, and I was on board.

I like to mod in my breaks and when I am at home in the evening. I think in a whole day I am modding around two or three hours. When I am free and have nothing else, it could be around three or four hours. For me personally it’s not stressful. I am in a stressful job [as an ER nurse] so I am used to it.
