EEP!

Well, last week I received another binder-full of cases for the Census Bureau, and have gotten about a third of the way through the assignments (completed interviews, that is). Today, I received two additional binders, and this phase of the Census (No Response Follow-Up) ends on May 31. So far, I have completed three interviews, and will be pounding the pavement again this evening (it's a flawless day- not a cloud in the sky, and a comfortable mid-70's Fahrenheit, so working outside is a pleasure). It's gonna be one busy weekend, and next weekend (Memorial Day weekend) will most likely be a total wash, with many people leaving town (myself excepted, I'll be working a signature event at the other job, which means no free time, but a fun time).

Well, looks like it'll be short posts for the next week or so.

Do you get to keep the messenger bag I've seen Census canvassers w/?

Fun is a bourgeois concept. (I'm having none of it either.)

I think we have to return it... a pity, to be sure.

I was talking to an Irish guy who is staying with friends while on holiday in *strike*Cambodia*/strike* Yonkers, and he asked me, "You're getting paid for this?" It's a pretty sweet gig on a pristine day!

When you censor these people are their children allowed to see them?

The whole family can join in the fun, although one has to be at least fifteen years of age to be an interview subject.
