phone banking

[redbird]

I have now done two sessions of phone banking from home, this election. I liked it better in 2018 when we didn't start with half-hour zoom meetings. The calls today used the same software I was using to call Florida two years ago, but I was hoping for less time on the intro when I said it had been two years since I used this and could use a refresher. Fortunately this time we were encouraged to bookmark the website for making calls, and do so on our own, anywhere from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. This one is calling Maine, so no time zones to worry about, but I may look for something with a shorter script--if I'd gotten anything but voicemail, the script is about the senate rate, then the presidency, and then state legislature (if the person called is willing to stay on the phone that long).

I don't expect to enjoy this, but if I'm going to sit home being unhappy anyhow I might as well get something more useful than a crossword puzzle done.
