Well, I went and did it.

I went over to my local Dem HQ to get another bumper sticker, and before I knew it... I was agreeing to help the Obama campaign... My job? I will be the Data Entry Manager. This means signing people up to come into our office to enter the data that has been collected from the phone banks... And then supervising those people when they do the actual work... :scared: I need a hug... Honestly, I am glad to be helping...

3. Good for you!

:hug: I love people who volunteer! :hug: I wish I could still do that kind of stuff. I hope you can keep your small part of that office running smoothly, and have fund doing it. Every bit of help makes the campaign run that much more smoothly, and adds up to us burying McCain that much much more easily. :)

4. My dear ThomCat!

Aw, thanks! I haven't done much, but give money, so far... The guy who recruited me is horribly busy, and this will lighten his load quite a lot... And of course, it's just till the election... I'll be scarce here Mondays till then...:shrug: I hope it goes smoothly too...I expect it will. :hug:

8. My dear crim son!

Yeah, I know I can do it... It's just that it's NEW... I haven't done data entry before, but honestly, neither has the guy who recruited me! We'll be figuring it out as we go along, lol! Thanks so damn much, sweetie! :hug: :hug: :hug:

14. If you can type, you can enter the data.

Even the numbers pad will become second nature in a short while. Peg, how is the rest of it? Life, I mean? We haven't conversed in ages.

20. I can type!

Things are pretty good for me these days... I've been writing poetry, and performing them at the weekly open mic at a local coffee house... And my teacher and I are talking about a new assignment soon... Life is good... I hope and wish the same for you... :hug:

16. That's fantastic

I love hearing about people doing more than just writing a check. This is what democracy looks like, people sacrificing their time and energy. I applaud you, Peggy.

18. My dear mokawanis...

Exactly. That is a very accurate description of what I'm about to undertake. It's a little scary, since I haven't been involved in this sort of thing before... But once I get going, I should be fine... I'm wired that way. Thanks for your very kind words, sweetie...:hug:

Edited on Sat Sep-13-08 12:07 AM by ih8thegop Way to go! While data entry can seem tedious, every name I enter makes me feel that much closer to winning the thing. Because each name represents a different person, a different background... ...but we all share the same goal. :toast:

19. My dear ih8thegop!

I'm not sure just what sort of data we will be compiling, but I will find out! And theoretically, I'm supposed to supervise those doing the data entry...We shall see! I'll most likely do some data entry too, as the need arises... We sure do share the same goal! Thanks, sweetie... :hug: :toast:

27. Oh yeah, I know that expression!

I was just wondering if what I'm doing is really WORK... Somehow I consider those folks doing the calling, or knocking on doors or that sort of thing as the ones doing the work... Money is also essential! :loveya: :hug:
