I think I'm working for the Republicans

[TaraJo]

So, a couple of weeks ago, I started working. I've been out of the job market for a while, so my primary focus has been getting some job history on my side. However, there have also been a few problems

1) I get paid minimum wage. Do you know how low that is?
2) I work, at most, 7 hrs a day with just one 20 minute break in there. That can be more than a little tiring.
3) I work in a call center where I call people to do political surveys all day. This usually means they hang up on me immediately, but some of them yell/curse at me first.
4) I haven't even been getting the full 7 hrs a day lately. This week, the longest I've worked has been almost 6 hrs.
5) I have no car and I have to leave for work a little over two hours before my shift starts to catch the bus and get there on time.
6) I get off usually around 10 or 11 and can't catch the bus home that late, so I have to rely on my boyfriend to get me a ride home. His car is kinda beat up and it's costing us a fortune in gas to get me there and back.

Now I've come to realize another problem

7) The great majority of the work I do seems to be for the Republican party. A lot of these surveys tell me to ask leading or loaded questions. For example, they might ask something like "If you heard that __Insert_Democratic_candidate___ sacrificed babies to Satan every night, would you be more likely or less likely to vote for him?"

I feel dirty. I also need a new/better job (hopefully one that allows me to complete school).

At least you can get free health care which will be paid for by the money they steal from me.

So many things wrong with that. The rest of the group brought up most of it, but I'll point out a biggie: I live in Texas. I mean, seriously, have you ever heard of Rick Perry? Hell, we're the state that put Ted Cruz in office.
