Politics

Have you seen the VW commercial, where the guy takes all kinds of odd jobs in order to get his own VW Jetta?  I'm starting to feel like that guy.

The past two weeks, I've been working as a paid political canvasser, collecting data about several candidates,  It wasn't as bad as I expected.  When someone comes to my door, I just blow them off.  I expected the same treatment.  Instead, I found that most people would listen politely and then decline to participate.

Some wanted to vent against the incumbents and a few were downright rude.  One woman ordered me off her property.  As instructed, I maintained a non-confrontational attitude (which is hard for me to do) and did not express my personal views.

I got my first paycheck today.  Time to start paying for my toys.
