re: #189 Dark_Falcon

I’m up for it.

I should have known that trouble was brewing when a phone call from the Census folks came in 4 weeks ago on a Sunday at 10:30am! Apparently they were so short staffed in administration, that even when I rejected the first job posting (I was to be a Senior Citizen assistant in helping our nursing bound elders fill out forms for $14.50/h), they informed me that they would call again the following day with another, higher paying, job. So the following Sunday at 9:15am they call again offering $18.75 to do “non-traditional” enumeration. I accepted in my half-asleep state, not knowing what I was about to get into….

….which was counting homeless people in New York City! (The training manual which the Census forgot to take back from me, advises to “Wear comfortable shoes, should the need to run [from angry and violent homeless people] arise.”) And that was before the disaster that was “training” began….
