For the past years of my life located here in Sacramento, I have dedicated quite a bit of time to elections. Never have I been paid for my services and I have been to Bakersfield, Fresno, Rancho Cordova, Modesto, Hanford, and at phone banks in Sacramento. I learned about my current boss while phone banking.
This year I had planned on taking an election year off. I am tired, the last two years have been terribly stressful, and being totally fucking poor didn't help. This morning an upper level staffer called me and asked me if I had volunteered yet. I said no becasue it was true. I then listened as they explained that the election volunteers had been saying they were going to hang up pictures of capitol staffers who had not yet volunteered. Really? These fucking newbies come in and think they are the shit!??! My superior then said, "You better get on it before its too late."
What, are they going to fire me for not giving up my free time? Well I wasn't invited to San Diego, dicks. You brought UNEXPERIENCED staffers and are paying them extra and leaving me in the capitol to continue to handle everyone's business.
When another staffer returns I need a vacation. Maybe I will lie and say I'm on GOTV duty. Can't a girl get a break???? I've been so nice to random people....

Don't let them rope you in! If anyone hassles you just explain that you've done it a bunch and that you're taking a year off, they can't fault you for that.
