The 2010 Decennial Census

I wish that sharing information regarding my work as a census enumerator didn’t carry a penalty of fines not to exceed $250,000 or a period of time in prison with a limit which I don’t recall, or both. People are strange, mysterious creatures. If you ever get a chance to be a census worker, to walk around and knock on your neighbors’ doors and ask them personal questions on the government’s dime, I say do it.

In looking through the list of categories, there are surprisingly few that wouldn’t apply to at least one of my visits (and it’s only day one.)

    I promise that I won’t share stories at #cfs2 even if you remind me. I’m certainly not keeping track of the interesting ones at all, sans personally identifiable information, naturally. I won’t do that at all. Don’t even bother to bring it up at clusterflockstock II in the presence of people I trust with no record of what is said but our memories.

    After Dave doesn’t tell us anything? I imagine it will be expected.

    Okay, Dave. I’m making notes of questions I won’t ask you.
