<== Me! Because if you can't get a signal, or your phone's battery is dead, that's when the emergency happens and you need to call 911.

What phone service do you have that you dont get a phone signal? My phone goes on the charger every nite so no dead batteries. I love Cingular. So far, where ever I've taken it I've never lost signal (except for one back woods area in TN, but thankfully Mr.Katie's Nokia had full signal).

I used to work for Ipsos Reid back in the day. When I was actually working on the phones I had a nifty little trick.

I would often run into two types of Americans

Type 1: Ignorant Southerner. Usual response "If'n you call again I am gunna hunt yew down and keel yew!!"

Type 2: Guy/Gal who thinks he/she is a smart *** "Why dont you give me your number so I can call you during dinner!'

My trick was that I wrote down the number of "Type 1" and when "Type 2" asked me for my number I gave them the ignorant southerners number. Two birds one stone.

I would like to think that if Bob is merciful that at least one of those Smart Asses actually phoned the ignorant southerner.

I get a telemarketer calling here every day, for sure. Often, two times or more a day.

Grrrr.

We have Cingular too, but in some areas, the signal just drops, even though we have 5 full bars. Go figure.

Either way, if I remember right, in California when you call 911 from your cell phone, it automatically goes to Highway Patrol as opposed to say the city police or county sherriff dispatch. So you could get routed through different emergency dispatches if they're trying to deal with jurisdiction or they're trying to relay the information you gave to the appropriate and that delay, even if only a few minutes, could be the difference between a life and death situation.

We had to get a land line after we moved. There are no towers out by our house. But we went with Vonage, so it's cheaper, and I can call bhodi free for teh phone sex.

Dealing with this is quite simple but if you dont handle it precisely it doesnt work.

Tele-marketers and Tele-research.

Telemarketers - Selling goods or services. Simple enough.

Tele-Research - Asking your opinion. Whether it be on Politics, Consumer Products or anything else.

What is important to note is that DNC (Do Not Call Laws) only affects Telemarketers. They in no way effect Tele-research, mainly because politicians rely heavily on telephone surveys for public opinion. So they made sure to put clause in DNC laws to exempt survey and market research.

So how do you stop both?

It is simple really. Tell the person on the other end of the phone either:

'Take me off your list'

Make sure you get a positive response from the person indicating that you have been removed. Thank them for there time, move on.

Sometimes you have to word it differently. Let them know you are on the DNC list,ask them if there is a way to remove your number from there calling list etc.

Important: Swearing, telling them 'dont call again', hanging up, screaming threats etc never work. You will be coded as a refusal but the next time they dial through the sample your number will still be there so you will get called again. Make sure your number is removed.

If you do get repeat calls

If this doesnt work you can do the following

1) Ask for name of interviewer, company, address, contact info and report them through the proper channels.

2) Purchase a "Call Blocker" (should only be 20$) or inquire if your telephone provider provides this service. Simply it intercepts any anonymous 1-800 calls and asks them to provide name and reason for calling before it will connect the call.

Some call blockers have features where you can manually enter number and it will block it forever more.


Hope that helps!

I have Shaw Digital Phone.

I play a flat fee of 45$ a month. I get the following:


-I can call anywhere in North America at any time for as long as I want. Canada/US/Mexico. No hitches, no restrictions just pure unbridled Long Distance.

- 1,000 free minutes a month international calling.

- Caller ID

- Call Forwarding

- Voice Mail

- Call Waiting

- 3 way calling (so I can phone sex with Nadenu and Nobby at the same time)


Very cool beans for keeping in touch with people who are spread all over the country.

I think I get most of those same features for $25 a month through Vonage. I had to pick up their goofy broadband adapter but I can plug any standard phone into it. I doubt I get the free international minutes but since everybody's American anyway, why would I ever need them?

I have a friend that worked at Sprint that did something like that. All the customers he delt with were expecting the calls, and already using Sprint.
I myself just got a new job at Olive Garden in January. Got hired on as a server. I have no experience in the industry, but the hiring manager was a chick so i charmed my way in. Ether way, i make fat money in tips plus the minimum wage which works out to about 17 to 26 buck an hour. I have to run my *** off, but my last job was sitting on my ***, so it's a nice change of pace.

I don't think I could stay on this job for more than two days.
I'd call people be in mid sentence and start screaming obscenities and inane babble along the lines of "damn OT... Aggro ... MAMBA JAMMBA!!! RAR!" and then continually putting people on hold cause im too busy healing cause some pat killed our priest.

Congrats Katie :)

It's called "homesourcing" - as opposed to outsourcing. Company doesn't have to buy all this furnature, rent space, provide parking, etc. Also they can hire people in lower cost regions of the country. Since tiny homes in my neck of the woods are selling for US$600,000, it simply isn't very easy to hire even in the US$70,000/year range because these people won't have the standard of living they are used to. As a society we save on roads and traffic.

Oh, and now Katie can join in one of the most honored national pastimes in the USA: deducting random crap from your taxes. Let the games begin.

I'm no tax expert - I just file my own and don't work from home. However I found:

Quote:

Can I deduct home office expenses?

Answer:

If you use part of your home to conduct your trade or business, you might be able to deduct certain related expenses. To qualify for the home office deduction, you must pass certain tests.

You must use part of your home regularly and exclusively for your trade or business. Exclusive use means that this space is not used for any nonbusiness purpose, such as watching television, during the tax year of the deduction. If the space is used for business only sporadically or occasionally, you may not meet the regular use test.

Also, your home office must be used as either (1) your principal place of business or (2) a place where you meet customers, clients, or patients in the normal course of business. You may also be able to take a deduction if you use part of your home to perform administrative or management duties and you have no other location to do this work. If you are an employee and work from home, the business use of your home must be for the convenience of your employer in order to take the deduction.
...
If you qualify under these tests, you can deduct certain expenses related to the business use of your home, but your deduction is limited by the percentage used for business and the deduction limit. You can deduct both direct and indirect expenses that apply to the portion of your home that you use for business purposes. Direct expenses are costs expended solely on the part of your home that you use for business purposes, and these can be deducted in full (subject to the deduction limit). They include such expenses as painting, and installation of separate telephone jacks and wiring. Indirect expenses are costs that benefit your entire home, including the portion you use for business. Indirect expenses include mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and so on. You may deduct a percentage of these expenses. You may use a square footage calculation or any other reasonable method to compute the business portion of indirect expenses.

If you are self-employed and not a farmer, you must file IRS Form 8829 to take advantage of the home office deduction. IRS Publication 587, titled Business Use of Your Home, offers more information on taking this deduction.
