I had a flit with a job. It would have paid nicely and I probably would have been in great shape by the end of the summer. I did the first day of training, mainly just watching other people and how it is done. Then I took a few turns at it. I felt horrible telling people half truths to try and milk as much money as we could. The job that i had a flit with you ask? Canvasser. For those who don't know what that is, it is the person who walks door to door asking for money. Oh don't worry it is for a good cause but just give us anything, even 5 dollars helps.
There is a reason i am not a member of the sierra club myself and that is the mail generated by just looking at them. That in fact is why i don't give my money to charity. I have chosen to bestow my money onto that organization; none other and they can't allow me to feel good. I am flooded with mail from other orgs that have all these pretty pictures and then tell you that every animal and tree there was burned last week. "Oh would you give us just 5 dollars so we can keep this from happening again." I just want to feel good about giving money and that doesn't help.
