She could've done some voluntary admin, but exaggerated her role? The charity I used to work as often got students/unemployed people wanting something to do. They weren't qualified for the services we offered but there was always plenty of admin to do which freed paid staff up. They were much appreciated.

I'm gonna vote with no on this being it.
She doesn't have even the slightest whiff of altruism about her. Despite the facard. It's all ME with her from what I have ever seen.
I mean, I may be wrong and will answer to to my wrongdoings on judgement day but I don't think this particular Assumption will be mentioned.
In fact my new favourite PA-ism and thread title submission is:
Pantomime Altruism.

With all the Vlad chat on here, I'd be surprised if he isn't a regular poster.
(On a three-day luxury grunk, this may have been said)
An ad just for you Jack 
I'm not describing what I meant very well, sorry. I'm not thinking of someone who needs personal care, I'm thinking of people with additional needs who just need a bit of extra support with life admin and navigating food shopping and things like that - I've seen charities who provide volunteers to help in that capacity.
I've just only just clicked
I think she was doing Labour party stuff around this time, she probably started hanging round the office opening the post “oh you don’t need to come again tomorrow Jack, you’ve done enough”
Damn Yankee doodle
Jack cannot be allowed to go to university. She's precisely the sort of twit that gets about six weeks into their first year and thinks they're an expert in their field and in the unlikely event of her graduating I don't think I could cope with "I literally have a degree in this" every five minutes.
No No No No Noooooooooo! (ex nursing home Frau)
She couldn’t even pass a degree in “lived experience” she co-ops so many other people’s personalities and stories

The vom emoji is a nice colour match for the Asda green.
I know what you mean, I just can't see Jack being that person.
Back when my dad was still with me, a lovely guy called James, the son of one of his neighbours organised a weekly thing whereby the more abled among us visiting the street (more accurately cul-de-sac) would do the shopping for all the frail old residents. Splitting BOGOF offers between them and bulk buying and splitting random things likes bags of cheap onions etc. It went from like 3 of us to 7 quite quickly.
It was like a little military operation with the best price offers being collated and chosen between the local supermarkets and even smaller places like the premiere shop etc.
Was always a lovely feeling handing a box of groceries over with more change than the recipient expected and being perpetually force fed digestive biscuits and cups of tea every Sunday afternoon.
But and this is where I get back in topic, this would never occur to Jack.
EDIT: Has been a good few year since this was a thing for me but even still, if I was the medias queen of thrift and charity then that is where I would start.
Community means more than charity to those in real need.

At times I think she couldn't write "duck" on a dusty Venetian blind.
(Shout-out to the divine Coral Browne for my favourite insult ever)
She also claims she was spending day after day in the public gallery at local council meetings at around this time.
Yeah she would be trying to attach herself to something high falootin’ and grandiose
Christ could you imagine her in lectures. Right up the front, hand up every 20 seconds, me me me me me ME ME ME ME. While the rest of the lecture theatre behind her do a collective eye-roll
Well, I have somehow managed to properly upset myself with my own words. I need to take myself off for a bath and bed. Well done Monroe. Well Done, you got me.
"ACTUALLY when I was poor *triumphant look to students behind her* I had to eat dust from between the floorboards and make my coffee (which I don't drink) with expensive baby formula that a food bank gave me for no discernible reason. This is something I wrote, It's called Potatoes..."
The word Grandiose always reminds me of the song Adios, most famous recently for the version by Glen Campbell, on what was the last album he recorded.
"Our dreams of endless summer / were just too grandiose / Adios"
Doesn't really apply to Jack in any way, but meh, it's a decent song, albeit a bit sad in that instance, given the context.
