Day 76- Everyone Counts

We received our census paperwork in the mail on Tuesday. I have no recollection of completing it in either 2000 or 1990, but for some reason I was expecting more than just basic household and individual demographic questions. It shouldn’t take us more than a few minutes to complete.

It does only take minutes. I finished ours tonight. For “race” I couldn’t decide between “supermoto” or “human”. I opted for “human”.

In 1990 you were still technically living at home, so your parents would have included you in their census and I don’t remember doing the census in 2000 but I am sure we did.

I love how the picture makes the census look ominous and creepy.

I saw the pic and thought ‘Rear Window’ for some reason.. Now, why do I hear a creaking door and footsteps? :):)

Hubman, if you don’t yet feel that you have done your full part in the Census–fear not, this is just Round 1. There is more to come when the Census workers start going door to door.

As big of a deal as they are making it (which, yes, I understand) I was fearing a big amount of time … but no. For our six people it took me 3 minutes to fill out and it was run back out to the mailbox within 5 of taking it out in the first place. easy smeasy lemon squeezy

Totally remember doing the 2000 census. I got it while on maternity leave after DJ was born and chuckled how if it had come a few weeks earlier we would have only been a household of 2, not 3. Funny how little things like that standout in my mind.

I have just done battle with 2 girlfriends over the Census. They are annoyed about it and the one refused to answer a Census worker’s questions last time around…. and she works for the government. Shameful! The one in 2000 may have been a longer form, I think I read that, I don’t personally remember.

Neat picture, nice shadow effect!

Unrelated to census: Stop being so fascinating so I can get back to work! I’m excited to read more updates. =)

Love the ominous picture! I wasn’t looking forward to the census, but it took no time at all. The census worker who came to our door spent 20 minutes trying to convince us to become census workers- I literally had to find my cell phone and call my husband, pretending to need him just to get the woman to leave him alone… he is irresistable, but she had less-than-dirty intentions

I will admit to being a nerd and loving the census…sigh…I am always sad when I don’t get the long one!

Temper filled his out the minute he got his. He lives for that stuff.
