Community Service Blog #2

Hey, so this week on Monday (20th) we went to volunteer for Obama again...It also happened to be my birthday also...fun stuff...haha

So this time we had to take polls through the phone, exciting ain't it?
We ended up doing this for 3 hours from around 3pm to 6pm. They gave us some like prepaid verizon phones and we began to call all those people on the list. It was kinda hectic to repeat the prompt they have for you when you leave a voicemail on their answering machine for them...Carrie tried to say it like a robot once...but failed epically haha and ended up just laughing into the answering machine and she was like "WHAT DO I DO?!?!" and I just told her to hang up. Anyways...majority of the people we called were pretty much not at home, so it was kinda easy, mainly because people were still at work. The people who picked up however we either REALLY mean or REALLY nice, which was weird, not really a neutral person. Like one person was giving me a attitude about the poll, and he was like "how are you convincing me to vote for this person?! your not doing a very good job!" and I'm just like, I'm only taking a poll...I'm not doing any convincing to get you to change your vote! Tyler's phone also broke but I don't know why.

Pretty much sums up those 3 hours right there, fun stuff...haha
