The Saudi General Authority for Statistics is running an ad gently asking people to stop inviting census takers into their homes for coffee and meals. pic.twitter.com/X7E5bKt9id

I wonder if this is an issue here in Ireland. I still see my Census person picking up forms in the neighbourhood!
Anyone?

How did you get a job as a Census Enumerator anyway? Looked like it paid well for having chats….
Were these jobs advertised?
Yes, on the census recruitment website (censusrecruitment.cos.ie) and I think publicjobs.ie too. It was also advertised all over media at the time (around November 2021)
thank you
Also, I’d say it was a pain in the hoop. Imagine having to call to so many houses 3, 4 or more times, the hassle of dogs, if you’re in a rural area having to drive up and down boreens all o et the place, people running you down the lane with pitchforks or worse, no thanks. A thankless job I’d say.
mine woke the baby, I wasn’t very nice, so I apolagised and gave him some chocolate when he came back.
The baby?
yeah you know the small creatures we start off as before we learn to hide out desires….they need naps
… LOL! :0)
The jobs were well flagged; thought about it, but then heard it was just a box-ticking exercise.
I’ll get me clipboard.
I worked as an enumerator for the register of electors as a young lad.
I was invited into 2 homes one Summer, by ladies between 5 and 15 years my senior I would say.
“Are you going around to all these houses? You must be wrecked, do you want to come in and have a cuppa”.
“No you’re ok, I’m fine thanks, you get used to being on your feet”.
*facepalm*
I have many regrets.
Like, so many.
Could have been my first and second time – and in definitely experienced hands. Little did I know I’d wait 2 more years for an anti-climax into a Durex ribbed instead of some energetic (and likely qausi-submissive) education.
There’s a ‘Come to your census’ joke hiding here – if only we can find it.
Ronan ya big ride
