A Minor Triumph...

chicatingsince you read, and I write, about the bad or slow parts of my job(and I'm still kind of pissed at the Dem higher-ups for not giving us better things to fight for and making my job easy thereby, but...)
I did get someone to volunteer who was disinclined yesterday...sometimes, my work is more like therapy than I'd like it to be, but people will do a lot for you if they feel you are listening to them and taking their wants and frustrations into account.(This can make talking on the phone with them frustrating and long, but I may be an ace redirector.)
Also, sometimes perhaps I try to start too early. I am more free earlier in the day, but maybe many PDA-ers are not. Perhaps when I think I should start, I should go watch something for an hour first(Possibly while pretending that someone has already said yes within that hour, making subsequent effort... lagniappe, maybe.)
