'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hello everybody. I am here in Natter for the first time in... a year? Maybe? I am sorry that I lost the ability to keep up here.
I am here now just to say that I have moved to Brazil with my wife and three kids. I realized when I was talking about it in Literary that I hadn't said that on the board, and it's kind of important to understand anything I might talk about!
So there you go. On that note, I do miss Nattering and may try to keep up here again. Wish me luck!
I do wish you luck both in the nattering and with your time in Brazil. We have a very large Brazilian population in South Florida. Their politics are as distressing as ours. I hope you find time to share your experiences and observations.
Ooh! Brazil! What will you be doing there?
What part of Brazil, Gris?
(Big fan of Brazilian music so I know some of the regional distinctions.)
I hope Brazil's working out for you, Gris. It's good to see your pixels.
I'm hosting a phone bank tomorrow and my attendance has gone down from 7 to 3. UGH. Still plowing ahead with it, I'll just make less food. Today is my day to practice, so I am comfortable with online interface and can better guide the volunteers. I don't much like making phone calls, so it's gonna be a challenging afternoon.
ugh phone banking , man. Tested the system, got a feel for it ad the script - never even got into the script really because calls were so short.
12 calls in 20 minute with an average wait time of 30 seconds to get connected to a call.
4 hang-ups (there is a lag on connection), 2 "remove me from your list", 1 "we only vote Republican", 2 "not a good time/please call back", 1 Undecided - this guy did not know the name Beto O'Rourke, 1 Leaning toward Cruz, and 1 Beto Supporter.
Not even a net negative on the outcomes and still so UGH. Block walking is sooo much better.
Timelies all!
Went into work for a little bit today.(A sample that had to be processed within a short amount of time was drawn today, so I agreed to take care of it.)
Thank you for your efforts, msbelle. My efforts will be for Gillum, but seriously, Beto taking that seat would be a sweeter win than any of the other races.
Does it help to have a Very Texas accent when you phone bank for Beto?
