(no subject)
So I didn't make quota. I got about half. I still have tomorrow, though. And hopefully they'll send me to a nicer neighborhood, since they seem to like me....
Houses I visited: 63 (goal: 65)
Houses with people whom I spoke to: 41 (goal: 40)
Amount raised: $50 (goal: $115)
This one woman went on this whole rant to me about how she grew up in Nazi Germany, and that's why she's supportive. She was very nice. Another person interrogated me for a while about a whole bunch of shit before giving me money. This is all very awkward, still. It's very hard not to feel very selfish. But I am indeed enjoying speaking to all of these people. I've had some great conversations with some of them.....
Lara (with whom I was "buddy canvassing") didn't so much..... got some asshole who had a big Jesus on a Crucifix sticker picture thing on his door, but then was in full support of torture. Uhh?
I love my (hopefully??) coworkers, though. They're fantastic. Today I was with Lydia, Lara, Dan, and Dasha, we drove to Princeton. Fucking NJ. Whatever. But the banter going on, particularly between Lara, Dan, and Dasha, it was great. Must add "dumb ass motherfucker" (DAMF?) to my list of insults, haha.
And then afterwards we got back to the office to sort out the donations and stuff, and Lara has the fantastic idea to duct tape clipboards to her hands and play ping pong.... which Jordan does.... and he found a white board eraser to be a ball.... and the three of us played a weird sort of baseball/ping pong type game with the eraser..... it was pretty fantastic. Oh, another thing to add to the list of things I should say: "If you were a hoagie, I'd smother you in mayonnaise" (if someone has very dry humour, lol)
The two of them also came up with probably the BEST twss I've ever heard: "Keep it up, guys." Simple, but..... amazing.
Also, I might finally be getting back the definition I had in my arms from during the semester? Heh. Since I stopped going to weight lifting 'cause of tech week(s), and then I lost it.... but I've started up some daily exercises again, so that'll be good....
