Today D was in Des Moines (again) with our field organizers for their training. He might still be there tomorrow too. (Hmmm...) I coped with this complete lack of direction as best as I could (which was fine) and worked on finishing a couple of reports he wanted me to do. The one I spent the most time on was the "College Report" which entailed gathering info about the four local colleges - things like Poli Sci professors, campus maps, student contacts, enrollment... you know, good, useful volunteer-finding information. I also kind of attempted filling in more contact info in the R4 List of All-Important Knowledge (that's my cool, excessive name for it today), but I was having a hard time concentrating on scouring the internet for labor unions in the CR area.
This afternoon I had my first interview for a real job (one that pays me money, not just experience). It was at Applebee's by my house. I filled out a REDICULOUS "personality" survey. Definately meant to weed out depressed and aggressive types. A little discriminating against those with mental health problems I think. Tomorrow I get to interview there again and at Express. Not sure which I want more right now. Probably will come down to flexible hours (to work around the campaign) and which pays more.
Tonight, I stayed late at the office to be around while the Obama campaign met in our conference room. This is definitely inspiring some rearranging of furniture. And the updating of the needs list to emphasize "Folding Chairs!!!!" because we need those that bad. It's totes true.
