Mile 3,803

I am a terrible blogger.

It's not that nothing has been happening--I've just been feeling very very lazy about it. And now I'm sitting at work doing nothing and I figure--why not?

Canvasing sucked this week. For some reason, I wasn't on my game at all--like, at all. I went from having a $600-day to a $3-day. It was awful and I thought I was going to get fired. I didn't make quota all that week, in fact, so it seemed very possible. They did let me stay, however, they stopped inviting me to Field Manager trainings so I guess I can kiss that $16 an hour good-bye . . .

Canvasing has other perks besides money though and that is truly why I do it ;) Talking to people, enlightening the public about the dark side of our democracy . . . getting free concert tickets and invitations to Kathy Griffin stand-up from complete strangers ;) There were also that one stoned guy who asked me to go see a movie with him, like right now, and the other one who asked me for my phone number, and the Jesus lady who told me I was going to hell because I was gay (that was an assumption on her part based on our tagline "Come fight for gay rights!" . . . nobody said that simply being a Christian made you particularly well-informed.

I have a friend coming to visit this weekend. I took the weekend off work. I think we're going to hit the beach, a flea market in Pasadena, maybe the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and a movie. It will be nice to have someone to hang out with :)
