Oh, to be a pollster...

Apr 24, 2007 21:11

Josh had talked to CJ about putting a poll in the field, and the thought had taken root. As much as he was Enjoying his Involuntary Vacation (and that was with a capital 'E'), sometimes he got antsy. And this was something for him to do that wasn't entirely self-indulgent, for once ( Read more... )

Ainsley poked her head around the counter, waist-length hair trailing with her. "Well, I answer to the name Ainsley if you really need me," she said in a deadpan, with a sweet smile.

Josh glanced up woefully. "Really? This is driving me nuts, and I could use the help." He ran a hand through his hair and tossed her a smirk. "Even if you are a Republican. Frankly, you'd help keep me bipartisan, I guess."

She wandered in and smiled warmly. "And what is the benefit if not bipartisan," she drawled pleasantly. "Hit me with your best shot. What's wrong?"

"CJ and I had been talking about laws and the Council and whatnot, and we had talked about putting a poll in the field." Literally. "But now I'm stuck at where to begin. You don't have any background in polling, do you??"

"God's on vacation, but I can take a message." Guy said as he came into the room, returning a book (he had to return some reading once in a while). "Who's Joey? And what are you writing?"

Josh glanced up. "Oh, Guy, maybe you can help." Without making a pass at me. Well, maybe that's a bit out of the question. "Joey is a woman from home-- one of our favorite outside pollsters, actually." He sighed. "CJ and I talked about polling the island, and now I'm stuck at where to even begin."

Just a bit out of the question. "Polling is just the means to a - bureaucratic - end. What do you want to get to know?" Guy asked as he sat down while glancing at the battered piece of paper.

Josh frowned, trying to explain himself. "Well, since we've started this whole council thing, and making laws, and having police, this place has turned into something more than just a crash landing. And there are probably a lot of people who aren't getting their opinion heard."

He scratched the back of his head fitfully. "So I thought polling the inhabitants of the island to see what THEY want would be nice. I mean, we could have it all wrong-- some people might want a monarchy, for chrissakes."
