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.
I'm glad you're doing the work for her, Cindy, even if the results haven't been encouraging so far. Cold calling people is basically my idea of hell on earth, so I have major respect for those who can do it.
Has anyone heard an update from amyth lately?
Good for you, Cindy. They want me to cold call for Warren, but I just don't think I could do it.
Could/would your dad ever wear gloves at work, Teppy?
I should ask him -- thanks for mentioning that, Cindy!
I didn't think I could do it, either. I had to take an Ativan, and sent DH out for mini powdered donuts. There's a long wait between calls. They have an easy click thru script, but it is nerve-wracking.
I definitely wouldn't be able to do it with ltc in the house. She sees me on the phone and immediately becomes the most difficult, needy 4 year old ever.
Cold calling is hard at first, but at least for me got easier each time. I am door to door canvassing today and have put off starting to get some food. In Texas we always went out in pairs, but this is solo and I'm a little nervous, but I just need to go and get through the list. This is the highest % effective way to GOTV, so gotta do it.
So what do you do in that situation?? Do you have to make something up, or can you just scrub something from work?
I'm bringing a fact sheet I wrote at the lab job that explains complex scientific concepts, and I'm bringing a test I did for another job application.

Substitute Spare Cat for the kiddo -- but at least a cat I can lock out of the room with a clear conscience and the confidence she won't get into anything more than usually life-threatening.
But really, she hears me talking and immediately has to know What's Going On?
16 doors knocked. Only 3 answered. A lot of canvassing is just leaving literature.
Yeah, trying to lock ltc out of a room would just lead to much louder screaming and probably some destroying of property.
