Report on Survey Taking Assignment

I was offered a Data Entry assignment that never occurred. Then, I was told that I was "definitely one of the persons needed for" a computer-less survey taking assignment, for some reason. A possible reason is because of lack of assignments for me from that temporary agency, (even with my 25 years of Admin Assistant experience).

I arrived at 7:40am, 4/26/2011, at the offices of the temporary agency, for the 2 hour training session for the survey taking assignment. I was the 2nd out of 8 persons to arrive. The 8 persons that temporary agency, (in the suburbs of Washington DC), had selected for that assignment consisted of 3 black women, 4 black men, and 1 asian woman, no caucasians whatsoever. Because this assignment didn't involve working with a computer, I received the impression that the selection of persons for this assignment was an insulting slavery reference, and the 1 good-looking asian young woman was possibly there for psychological warfare purposes.

The hired temporary survey takers were seated in a close circle, with chairs arranged in a close circle in the temporary agency's offices. Basically the same start as the EDJ assignment. The hired temporary survey takers, not including the asian woman, then engaged in idiotic conversation that seemed to be influenced by illegal drug use.

The employees of the survey taking research company then arrived for the training session. They were 3 white women, and an all-white group, unlike the all non-white survey takers. They had travelled from New Orleans, Louisana, and addressed the non-white survey takers in "Miss" or "Mr" followed by their first names, as in slavery. I also had the impression that the research company employees, being from the south, and all white, and the survey takers being all non-white, was a slavery reference.

The survey taking research company doesn't work with experienced survey takers, possibly for slavery, confusion, and impoverishment purposes. The hired temporary survey takers didn't seem to have experience in this work.

The survey was about the advertisements around Shell gas stations in the suburbs. One type of advertising device was called a "Free Standing Wind Master" sign. Another type of advertising was called a "Bollard Wrap". It is interesting that there are psy-ops possibilities with these sign names.

After this suspicious start of the assignment, the 4 day survey taking assignment then went well, (without any incidents), and the research company employees then travelled back to New Orleans, Louisiana.
