obama phone bank

I volunteered at an Obama phone bank last weekend.   I don’t like talking on the phone.   We were calling complete strangers in Colorado and apparently during a Broncos game.   But I have to say, I’m glad I did it.   Awkward at first but I felt really good afterward.  If you’re interested, go to this site: http://my.barackobama.com/page/votercontact

This was one interesting exchange from the day…

WOMAN:  Hello?

ME:  Hi, may I please speak to Harry?

Long beat.

WOMAN:  (SUSPICIOUS)  And who is this?

ME:  My name is Katie.  I’m calling from the Barack Obama campaign.

WOMAN:  Hold on.  (POORLY COVERING THE PHONE AND MIMICKING WHAT IS APPARENTLY MY CARTOONISHLY HIGH PITCHED VOICE) It’s Kaaaaatie from the Barack Obama campaign.

Click.

Harry, if you’re reading this, vote for OBAMA!  SHE CAN’T STOP US!!!   LET’S DO THIS FOR REAL!!!

The Kindergarten Picture

Below is my kindergarten class picture. Take a look and guess which one I am.  If you guessed “the kid in the wheelchair”, you win.
