census again

I started work for the census again. Those people are still crazy. I had training on July 1. It was supposed to be for 4 hrs. We started late and then messed around and over an hour later we started the training. We were given a booklet to tell us the things to cross off in our manuals. I could have done that on my own. About half way through our training we stopped to fill in our time sheets. And that took over a half hour. I don't get why people have such a problem writing down what time they started and ended work and how many miles they drove. For training, we were even told the answers. And then it was time for a half hour break.Then we were told that we almost didn't meet for the training, but there is a stash of money in Washington DC and we had this training so we could get our share of the stash.

We completed the training and then waited and waited for the binders to get here. I had a dr app't Fri morning July 9 at 10. Thur night at 8:30 I told Mike, I guess I won't work this week. I got a call at 9 that the binders are here and we were meeting at 9 Fri morning. My crew leader told me that I could meet up with her later in the day so I could go to the dr. After the app't I called her she said that they had run into a problem and I would have to wait to get my binder. So Sat I met up with her. We are going back to places that had been reported as being vacant on April 1st from the last census job. I thought it was really stupid that we were going back to places because I knew I did mine right the first time and I assumed everyone else would also. Well I was very interested to find out that my 1st binder had 5 addresses in it and on my 1st visit I found out that all of them had been occupied on Apr 1.  And Lance gave me a bit of grief about a lady that he knows that worked with me. He told me that she beat me about 10 to 1 on completed forms. Well Lance. I was redoing one of her binders. In her defense, she was following up on someone else's job, and I know that she did clean some up and I was surprised that she missed these.

My mom used to say "don't egg them on" when we were growing up and encouraging craziness from a sibling. So now some of you leave comments that "egg me on" so I guess I'll keep going with the craziness.
