Nothing too exciting to report from this weekend. I was too busy dodging phone calls from the stupid Census Bureau. It all started when we got a random survey from the Census Bureau. I was excited because for some reason I LOVE filling out forms and survery's are included in that passion. One day I came across it again in the office and found that my dad had already started filling it out. I decided to control my inner rage and move on with my life. The survey had different sections and each member of the household had a section they were to fill out. I filled out mine and realized too late that the survey was stupid and annoying. I left the rest for whoever to fill out and forgot about it. Then the calls began to start. I guess it is required by law to fill the stupid thing out. I managed to be home EVERY time they called wondering where their survey was. I lied and said I wasn't old enough to answer their questions and they would have to talk to my mommy or daddy (yes I am evil).
I politely answered their phone calls until finally I could honestly say that the survey had been sent out. I thought the calls would stop. I was wrong. Friday night they called and I answered (translation the Census Bureau and myself have no life). "We are confused on some of your answers." some annoying lady said. "Can I answer them?" (inside voice: SO YOU WILL QUIT FREAKIN CALLING ME!) Don't know how but everything got messed up. I corrected them and made up a few numbers, who knows how much their parents pay in property tax or what they pay out in income tax? I don't. The representative from the Bureau could see the deer in headlights look through the phone I think and just told me to make a "rough estimate." There goes the total purpose for the survey. After finally hanging up, I kept thinking would this be the end of the calls? Probably not. I guess I will have to wait until the results to come out before I will answer the phone again. Doesn't it take them like 7 years to get the data published? For the love.
