Ooh! Brazil! What will you be doing there?
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
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.)

Our wings are not tired.
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?

Hey. New board.
What part of Brazil, Gris?
São Paulo
Ooh! Brazil! What will you be doing there
Teaching! My wife and I are both teaching at Graded, The American School of São Paulo.
I hope you find time to share your experiences and observations.
I honestly haven't even begun to grok it. I probably should, but new country, new school, new students, new language, new apartment, I can't handle new political ickiness more than I have to.
