Should I be a poll worker?

I was just checking out the voter information booklet for the county primaries, and they had an ad in the back for pollworkers. Either position I apply for (inspector or judge) would pay $180/110, respectively, but I thought it would just be an interesting thing to do, it's only a couple Saturdays at most, make some spending money, and get involved in local politics in a very minor way.

Is it worth it?

How would this look on a resume, would there be any possibility for advancement, etc? I don't really care that much about money or advancing, but any involvement I could do would be a good thing, I think.

*sigh* Nevermind. I have to work from 9AM till noon on the 16th, and I have classes all day on Nov. 4th. Dammit.

Maybe I'll try and be an aide for someone a few days a week this next year.
 
If you are over the age of 100 and can slow any attempt at progress to a crawl, and hand out stickers, I'd say go for it.
 
sure. Then you can be just like the ass @ my town who said I was not a registered votor because he did not know my name. It took me 5 minutes of bitching to even get him to look for my page in the damn book.
