Census

[hellkat]

So I applied for a job as a census interviewer.
Providing they accept it, there will be no :

1. Asking why "biker" is still not listed as a religion*
2. Eating of my liver with fava beans and a nice chianti.





*(I plan to merely tick "other" and then write "biker", "Jedi" or whatever else required in the appropriate gap)

I got a form through today telling me to fill it out or I'd get fined, I must act now blah blah blah.

It got a message on the front page in thick black marker pen telling them what I think of threats and to fill it in themselves.

One step up from a traffic warden at least though lol.

I only see it that I would be helping people, same as a translator or a person who helps fill forms for people who can't read or write.

Its not about being nosey or about helping the government "find stuff out", cos actually I don't give a toss.

Its about that people have to fill it out or they risk a fine; I didn't inflict that fine, and I'm not collecting it - I'm helping them AVOID getting fined from lack of ability to complete a form. If they have trouble filling it, then I am happy to help them.

Although I fully expect to be treated like some sort of bailiff.

But then if someone wants to get arsey about it, the onus is on the individual to fill it out, not me.

If you wanta fill out the form in red crayon saying "sod off you nosey so and so's", then get on with it.

As I'm about to leave my other job, the extra cash will come in handy. So (providing they do accept me, cos I'm not entirely sure they will ) ... they're paying an hourly rate, not a success-rate.

You'll get stung for a grand then. Apparently they fined only 38 people last time.

That's the frustrating thing, though, cos if they REALLY wanted the information they are asking, they would be better off spending their resources on collating information they already have.

Because most of it probably actually is on government computers in a LARGE majority of cases these days, anyway.

So basically another expensive time-wasting effort.

They can access everyones facebook page if they ask nicely/bribe the owners under government powers so they'd be better off doing that, will give them all the info they need, although mainly what everyone's favourite drinking establishment is.

Sweet, book yourself in, I promise to be polite.

Is it wrong to have ticked second house occupant as both my partner and my ''Sister or Brother'' for the lulz.

Mmm, who are they going to summons - me or the missus? Which Occupier failed to fill it in?

Might be a lark to complete it in Klingon or Welsh or some other made up language though. Qapla', look you.

I admit to being a tad curious as to what happens with the 56 people living in a three bed flat above a kebab shop??

If a census person can find my house good luck to them , no one else can
