Indeed I have just been fired. He claimed it was because I did not notify him of the time I was address canvassing in the form of an answering machine message, although I called every morning and did not receive a response.
He denies that I called him, and further claims that his cell phone does not have a missed calls list.
I offered to submit nightly written plans for the subsequent day and begged him to get in touch with me via the HHC message service. I informed him that he could contact me through email on my blackberry.He failed to show up for a planned meeting in the field, and claims no knowledge of it.
When i have gotten in touch with him, he did not know who I was several calls in a row and told me to call the other guy.
He went on to say that I had "an attitude" from the beginning, and in training threw my HHC in frustration. I found that astonishing to hear, particularly as he was not there.
I think that he must have been frightfully overworked, and that we had more census workers than we need. The irony here is that i was doing a great job. I strapped on hiking boots and canvassed busy streets with no shoulder in the mud and heat on foot to get more done. Oh, well. I never imagined that i would be fired from a job, much less a part-time silly one like this.
I hate map spots by trees, by tall townhouses, by townhouses in tight little circles. Map spots just don't like to cooperate when there are storms in the area, when there are clouds or when they just don't want to.
