This is Planet Money from NPR.
Well, tell me, who is this Darlene George and how did she make all this stuff happen?
Oh my God.
Well, Darlene George is a regular young lady from Brooklyn, New York.
Darlene George is talking to Susan Sharon,
a local public radio reporter at Maine Public Radio, who interviewed Darlene recently.
How old are you?
I'll tell you that off the record.
Oh, well, I'll tell you too.
Okay.
Thanks.
Susan is talking to Darlene because Darlene has kind of a remarkable work situation right now.
Darlene is a grants program coordinator at a local health center in Maine.
So I monitor, scout and look for grants,
making sure we stay within regulations, guidelines of each grant.
She gets paid a salary.
She's not hourly, but she generally tries to work seven to five-ish.
But if I am needed before the fact, I'm there.
If I'm needed after the fact, I'm there.
If I have a project I'm working on and it entails me working on a Saturday or Sunday, guess what?
