The phone call from HELL!!!!/Life of an intern for the Obama campaign...

I was making calls yesterday afternoon before I went home for a break, and I called an older woman's number. A man answered and when I asked for her, he asked me who I was. I told him who I was and what I was up to.

His response: "Obama?!?!?! That no good, lying SOB and you're calling for him?!?!?!?!?! Don't ever call this number again!!!!! Take it off your list!!!!!!!!!!"

I did so, and he kept badgering me. Because of my training from when I worked as a telemarketer, I didn't feel right about hanging up on him, so I had to listen to his verbal abuse until he finally deigned to hang up on me! By the time I got off the phone I was so shaken and was more than ready to go home and take a nap. Lizzy told me if I get yelled at like that again, then I should just go ahead and hang up on the jerk! Ah, the life of an intern...

I ended up going back last night and helped getting things ready for our trip to West Liberty to canvass today. I don't feel comfortable canvassing, but Lizzy and others will be with me. That said, I must away to get ready, but will leave you with a pic of me at my new home away from home. =)

Slan go foill...

P.S. the two fellas with me in the pic are Rep. Nathan Reichert (big brother figure to me!!!) and fellow volunteer Tracy
