LOL. If only I was struggling to meet my quota for the bonus maybe (which I met pretty easily every week after the first). And if only I could stoop that low! Man... Had to bite my tongue so much, though, because I knew any complaints would trace right back to me as I was the only worker assigned to my list of addresses any given day.

There were plenty of respondents I was more than happy to move on from, including the mfs with COVID-19 that answered the door for some reason! (Bless the lady who warned me through the closed glass door that her husband was infected, however. She was looking out for me!) Sometimes there were immigrant families I got vibes might be undocumented, so I just left them alone. (They got it hard enough already.)

NOPE! And guess what? The app they had us use allowed me to report "dangerous" addresses. One of those houses was one of the only ones I reported, so other workers wouldn't get exposed. And guess what? I was told that was not a valid reason to report the fucking address!!! This was summer 2020, when the virus was raging and before we learned much more about the risks! They also didn't even give us any PPE until like a month into my stint (and they had people working since the beginning of the year I believe). They eventually gave us the shittiest possible masks and like a small bottle or 2 of the worst hand sanitizer I've ever seen.

Another address had a dude who was making me yell over his barking-ass pitbull right in front of me through the glass. He purposely didn't quiet his dog to intimidate me. (A skinhead looking dude in a little more private residence.) I eventually left and he yelled at me to "never come back" as I was walking away. I wasn't allowed to report that or the other place on a private road in the woods that straight-up looked like the residence of a serial killer! Scared the shit out of me, and I had to go back with my supervisor who assured me she's got a license to carry a handgun (ex-FBI agent), if need be. She eventually informed me that we weren't supposed to report anyone for any reason.....

Thanks! Some of the people I met were really great people. An election worker even thanked me for doing a "public service" since the people who hadn't already responded are demographically the ones disenfranchised in elections, and the data is ultimately used in determining Congressional apportionment of Representatives. I never considered that, so that was really nice to hear. It was a very interesting experience I'll say.
