anyone out there taking advantage the decennial census? 14.50 an hour for 8 weeks worth of work is pretty baller if you ask me. except the work kinda blows but so far i just cruise neighborhoods on my skateboard all day stopping off at houses and ringing doorbells. it only sucks when you can't find anybody there or the people there are duschebags and wont just fill that shit out. not that it makes any difference to me, i get paid whether they comply or not!

paraphrased: getting paid by uncle sam to skate around all day is dope. anyone else doin' it?

First I don't like asking people those kind of questions. Second I don't like barging into random people houses. Third they don't like the above things either.

You're going to get shot

is there some kind of dress code for you? i feel like if you were just skateboarding around in normal street clothes and went up to someones house and asked them to fill out their census they would be a little weirded out.

i dont have to barge into anyones house, in fact i just know on the door or ring the doorbell. second, i'm not a huge socially awkward pussy so interaction with strangers isnt uncomfortable or scary whatsoever, it's pretty entertaining when people get all pissed off because id ont give a fuck. i get paid bank and if they're all pissed its mostly just funny. and most people don't actually mind that much, they're actually suprised that there are so few questions and that it takes way less time then they thought. lastly, i really hope i get shot because then i'll basically be hooked up for life by the government, not to mention i can sue the shit out of whoever shoots me for free becuase the government will back my case and the district attorney will be my lawyer so yep.

the only negative i see in the whole thing is the fact that they fingerprinted me, but it was bound to happen if i got arrested anyways so whatever.

did i mention that i get paid from the time i leave my house to the time i get home, and i get 50 cents for every mile i drive? oh yeah. that too.

not really a dress code, i have official gov't ID and a bag that says census on it and all types of official census forms. and if they doubt my credentials i can just have them call up the regional office to confirm that I am for real.

First, calling me a socially awkward pussy is pretty weak. I'm very social. But I all respect other peoples wishes. Most people really don't want to be bothered. Unless you live in florida, then the old people will let you in make you lunch and talk to you all day.

" it's pretty entertaining when people get all pissed off because id ont give a fuck" That's pretty retarded.

" i get shot because then i'll basically be hooked up for life by the government," Uncle sam shall grant your wish, and you won't get shit for it. You'll probably knock on a door as the cops pull up to check a robbery or double murder and get arrested.

"did i mention that i get paid from the time i leave my house to the time i get home, and i get 50 cents for every mile i drive" It's easy to make so much more than that with out having to do any of that.

Just sayin

You're always in such a pissy mood. And yes there are far easier ways to make more than 15 bucks an hour, or make the same as the total in an hour or two.

i respect other peoples wishes too. i have yet to press someone to give me the information, and i'm just doing my job trying to get paid. its not a big deal and technically they're required to comply with it. if you actually knew anyting about what it's for you might understand a little better. we could not have a census every 10 years and millions of people could have 8 weeks less work in there wallets and less food on their tables. we could also not have properly apportioned representation in the government because we dont know how many people live where. we could also waste 5 times more money than we already do by overallocation state and federal funding for social programs that help people less fortunate than your rich new york ass feed there kids and put clothes on their backs. i'd say your pretty retarded when you think about it. yeah the fed sucks, but its the way it is and some anti-goverment scrawny ass white kid from new york aint gonna change shit about that. in fact, nobody really is because they control everything. might as well go with it because fighting it just makes it worse and even more fucking lame and less efficeint.

I just have to say that anyone who gets annoyed about the census is a moron. The census isn't some door to door security system sales force, its an innocent and not terribly intrusive survey that provides incredibly valuable information, but only works if people participate.

There is no reason to respect someones wish to not participate in the census, it's their fault for not doing it already.

isn't that what uncle sam is? the middle-upper class taxpaying 20%? I mean, they're who funds everything he does.

and also, if more americans realized that it was there tax dollars, they'd probably be less eager to waste that money by wasting my time when i'm out there. people don't understand just cuz you tell me you don't want to do it doesnt mean i'm going to stop. i'm required to keep coming back until i get the information from you or at the very least a basic headcount from a neighbor or other knowledgeable respondent. oh well, its not like we're not the most wasteful country in the world as it is. I guess we can let yet even more waste slide.

Learn to spell. And second, legitimate jobs don't even really count under the table. Which would hook you up pretty easily without the taxes even at a lower rate, but you could still make the same or higher. And who needs a legitimate job. I'm doing painting for 15 under all summer, not bad working with friends and listening to music.

But the easy  easy stuff is far easy enough to be worth the lack of legitimacy. And yes, I said easy 3 times right there

Again you are a douche. Second, you said you enjoy pissing people off.

You're saving the world al gore, one census at a time. And as far as the "this is the way it is argument"... That's about the dumbest route you can travel.

And your  closing statement was just awful.

sick dude, your way better at arguing on the internet then anybody else ever. and your spelling/use of the english languages grammatical rules is superb beyond belief. I do commend you sir.

I never said I enjoy pissing people off, I just said I don't give a fuck if they get pissed and it makes the job interesting.

I've painted before, it blows hard.

I'd be great at arguing on the internet too if I just stated that everything you said was awful or dumb or retarded instead of presenting valid points. which you have yet to do in any of your responses. I no longer have the time nor energy to continue this discussion as it is going absolutely no where. enjoy the fumes of paint and the hot sun on your back all summer, while i skate fresh paved hills for 14 an hour and eventually move to utah to ski epic powder.

lol, I could give a shit about the world. we're all fucked anyways. I don't think I'm doing something special or amazing for the people of our nation or some bs like that you are under the wrong impression. probably because its close to impossible to tell what sort of tone i'm using when typing.

i was simply stating that making 14 dollars an hour to skateboard around all day and do a little bit of doorbell ringing on the side really isnt bad, and was inquiring whether or not anyone else was taking advantage of such an opportunity. I began to get defensive after you blatantly attacked my position on the matter multiple times with brash anti-goverment statements and ignorant arguments about how retarded I am. really I don't give a shit about the census or properly allocating government funding or senate representation. I was just defending my means of making a living as you were attacking it. completley justifiable. I said this early but i don't think you picked up on it, I'm just trying to bank enough loot to move out west. and skating all day isnt a bad way to do that. good day.

Wow dude for a while I was definately backing you in this argument but that was just uncalled for. You make a decent point the job is easy, seems even kinda fun but you took this thread to a different level. Both you and the abortionator are little bitches but at least you can tell hes fucking with you. You are actually getting emotionally upset at what some kid on the internet is saying to you. So upset that you take my comment personally when it was an obvious attempt to bring humor to this shitty thread and maybe break up your four year old back and forth bitchfest. The only time your dick gets wet is when you smear peanut butter on it and force dogs to lick it off.

I work for the government in the summer. My local city government by being a maintenance employee. And you would think with being a member of the city team you would get decent equipment. NOPE, chainsaw barely works and the damn spikes to climb the tree are almost 20 years old and dull as fuck.

its funny i work for a local park district. its one of the premier park districts in the nation in terms of how its run, gets its funding, etc. we have park departments from all over the country come and find out how we do it.

needless to say, we have nothing but the best in EVERYTHING.

seriously, they picked up a new toolcat for this upcoming season. a new E ride electric vehicle, and another Kubota. and thats only at one park.


the amount of money they piss away is astounding.
