The main thing I will miss are the conversations I get to have with people. That may be enough actually to make me come back when we get ramped up again. While I spend a fair amount of time speaking with total idiots who have less political awareness than my dog, there are also a lot of people who are very informed and wise. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be elderly which means we will not have them around more than another decade or two and then we will be stuck with the idiots.
That is an exaggeration of course. I call during the day most of the time and at that time of day, only elderly people are home. Plus a few welfare Moms. Good grief I despair for us when I talk to some of these people. I think I have talked to them before – they were calling in for fat pills when I worked DR for West.
Anyway, I am certainly going to be looking for something else during this hiatus, but I expect if they call me I will go back to OP. I am an idiot.
