Last I heard, we had seven cases left in our census zone. We’ll probably be done by the time I get this posted.
That’s not to say the work is over; we’re sending enumerators to several states that need help, and there’s a zone (or two) in Chicago that we’d like to aid, if only they would have us.
But the end is near.
Technically, we have until October 31. That’s when the entire operation nationwide is scheduled to end. Lots of housekeeping – administrative tasks – to complete before then, too.
And then we’ll see. As always, I have a ton of projects I’d like to pursue – if only anyone was buying. And supervising two-dozen enumerators under difficult circumstances has only bolstered the confidence I have in my management and leadership skills – and that I should be leading a reporting team and/or newsroom somewhere. It’s way past time, but let’s just say the industry doesn’t hire people like me to do the kind of work I do best. That was proven long ago.
Anyway, here are a few things I’d like to bring to your attention.
