One Day at a Time....Life as a Census Worker
I officially started my new call-center job friday, I don't like it AT ALL! Its for the US Census, at my job, the system dials peoples phone numbers from their census form and I have to follow a script to ask questions to clarify the answers they put on their forms to make sure that we have everyone counted at the right address, alot of them are people who listed college students and counted them at their homes but they were away at college, some who have people moving in and out, alot of elderly people we have to make sure they weren't in a nursing home at the time and alot of people who can barely speak english. The people who cannot speak good english are the nicest ones by far. Southerners are nice but the further north and west you got the ruder they get! I've been cursed, yelled at and you would think you were asking for a kidney! Every day I've been sick to my stomach before I go to work, but I HAVE to work or I would tell them to shove it! I mean, it's not like we are trying to collect anything from them or sell them something, its the Census people! I know you filled out your form , that is how I am calling you...this it JUST to make sure that we are counting everyone Correctly!!! I am off for 3 days...Yeah!!!going to look at another house this evening! Wish me luck! comments????
