If you don't fill out the payroll page you don't get paid for working the polls.
(Yes, poll-workers in Massachusetts are paid. I think poll-workers get paid in most states. It's minimum wage or a bit higher for the clerks and wardens.)

The police officer also couriers the box containing the blank ballots and other sensitive items from the local police station to the precinct at the start of the day.

Arrive at your polling location by 6am.
Be professional, respectful and polite.
Don't use your cell phone except for emergencies and breaks.
No wearing any political stuff.
Be tolerant of diversity.

Next slide: we just took the poll-worker's oath specified in Massachusetts law (MGL. Ch. 54 Sec. 20).

This is a mixed class: inspectors, clerks, and wardens all in the same training. That means they're going to cover some stuff that's only relevant to the clerks and wardens.

I am trying to figure out how it can be, after all these years of #Zoom eating their lunch, that #GoogleMeet still doesn't have a way (or at least not any that I can find) to page through the tiles for everyone attending a meeting.

Needless to say we also have a bunch of people who haven't muted themselves despite being asked to multiple times having private conversations on mic.

Well, this could be incredibly boring or perhaps interesting to a few people. I'm about to do my online Boston poll-worker training for the November election, and I'm going to live-post throughout the training. Follow along if you're curious.
