Poll workers -- any advice for a newbie? [View All]

[moriah]

This will be my first time being a poll worker.

Since I normally work 13+ hour days the length of the day shouldn't be too hard on me, but...

Any advice from people who have done it before? I'm planning on bringing an ice chest with snacks, for me and to share. I've been also thinking about slapping a nicotine patch on for today, since I'm one of those awful smokers.

I had thought it was a volunteer position, but when they called me yesterday to let me know they did need me, turns out it is a paid position. If Christmas wasn't coming up I might turn down the money, but ... things are too tight right now for me to do that.
