People need to think before they speak and act!
When someone calls you on the phone to do a poll, please remember they are doing a job.
We have had two incidents today regarding callers getting hurt.
First was a caller being asked for her phone number so the person being called could bother her at home when she was trying to relax.
The caller has no home, she lost it due to the bills from losing her husband a year and a half ago and her child 3 months ago. This comment hurt her greatly.
The next was an autistic gentleman we have. He is fantastic at polling. However, he is scared to death of those little party horns, the sound scares him badly. Someone answered the phone and blew one. The poor man was so upset, he had to go home mid sift.
The people who call you to do polls don't know anything about you save for maybe your name, the same goes for you towards them.
Please remember they are doing a job. If you wish not to participate, just say so and/or hang up.
Fri Jun 20, 2014, 01:52 AMDoes that mean some people prefer a call center job?

1. KnR. They are also under extreme constraints sometimes by supervisors.
Many people who take such jobs do so because they are the only jobs they can get.

2. We also hire on many young people...
Many with stars in their eyes about doing political polling.
It takes about a week and they see that people don't really careAnd that's how a deadbeat becomes really disillusioned.
Fri Jun 20, 2014, 08:24 AMDUmmy yeomannumbers is the type that worries Amber. What about those starry-eyed young direct-marketing recruits?

9. I try to be nice
And say I am not interested but some are agressive and won't take no for an answer. I just hang up on them now.

10. I respectfully disagree
There's no need in 2014 to do any phone solicitation of any kind. With all the other outlets for online surveys and polling, the LAST thing I need is somebody to call me up and bother me. This would be my opinion, and if you call, I'll flatly hang up. don't want to be bothered. PERIOD.

From now on, I'm going to look at polls differently.and yet we are surprised when the polls are so spectacularly wrong.
I would think the employees of these call centers work on a cume basis. What's to prevent these DUmmies from writing down the answers they want, whether they talk to a live person or just get their answering machine?
A party horn! I never thought of that! Thanks, Amber!
and yet we are surprised when the polls are so spectacularly wrong.
I wonder if what she's doing isn't very good for people with mental and emotional issues like Amber - there is too much rejection in the job and her grip on reality is tenuous at best.
She was supposed to be writing books about a year ago, and she uses Dave's last name then and now and often refers to him as "her husband". She lists her marital status as "in a complicated relationship" on FB, true with herself.
One time in a post she mentioned her "marriage". ???????I doubt she's married, unless she's convinced herself she's in some sort of common law marriage.
I doubt she's married, unless she's convinced herself she's in some sort of common law marriage.
If there's one thing Amber has in spades, it's common.

I got to see Amarillo at sunrise on a Greyhound bus heading to a new life in Tucson! I lost everything in Joplin in May of 2011 and we needed a new start! My husband woke me up to ask if I wanted to live a song! It was an amazing sight to a person that live in a small town as long as I had!

Alright. I don't know if I'm the only one seeing this or not. I'm thinking that LFR has seen all of the fame and accolades that nadin has gotten from being a pretend journalist and knower-of-all-things, and she has become a bit jealous.
Think about it. If what LFR says is true she has went from being unemployed and homeless to being a call center executive in no time. And not just any call center. A call center that does political polls. She now knows all about call centers and call center etiquette and is instructing the DUmmies on this etiquette.
If what she says is true, more power to her as that's one less hog at the low end of the trough, but I'm somewhat suspicious.
I am not sure if she really is a call center executive. Quite skeptical about it.
I'm skeptical that she even works at a call center. Especially in any position above floor sweeper. Not that there is anything wrong with working as floor sweeper.

The call center sounds just like the coffee house. Imagine that.

Dreamboat Dave? Really?
She didn't know the song was "Hit The Road, Jack".
Ptarmigan has an ally in Joplin!
Or maybe... ptarmy is actually the Tucson Tart's classy sister, the "sugary pagun".
There have been dozens of DU threads over the years regarding unsolicited phone calls, and every one of those threads has responses on how they react to those calls; police whistles, air horns, yelling, and so on.All history is subject to revision by the libs.
And now they want to show how kind and considerate they are. It's as if they don't read the stuff they typed - or cannot remember it.

Some of the funniest things I've read here at the DUmpster have come from the lovely Hoyt girls. Sugary.
Just based on a snapshot I think Annette could be funnier than Amber if she would only start posting at the DUmp.
Can you imagine what a one-two punch they could be?

Agreed. I visit their pages often. I'm hesitant to bring anything I find on their facebook pages over here, since they don't post at the DUmp.
I agree with Gobucks, though. The DUmp would never be the same if all three of those illiterate lardasses all showed up there.
I think Annette and Crystal Naydean have played such major roles in Amber's story arc, they should be considered honorary DUmpettes.
The most astonishing thing about that crew is that if they were Charlie's Angels, you'd have to call Amber "the smart one".
Hello...as some of you know,im Crystal. I am cofounder and lead investigator/tech for HLPS. The other cofounder, Annette Hoyt, as with our junior members would like to start off by saying welcome and we hope you enjoy this page. Secondly, paranormal investigation doesnt mean that we absolutely belive any little thing. We take pride in being a skeptic-friendly group. Paranormal doesnt mean just ghosts or ufos-it means anything that doesnt have a reasonable explaination. Our job-determine the cause if at all possible. With that in mind...Good Hunting! ~C.
Hey we're back after a long injury laden hiatus! Just got back from another Sasquatch investigation out at Diamond Grove ..alot of action! We heard alot of wood knocks as well as branches snapping. Tomorrow we will be investigating the area the sounds came from for physical signs.- C

Lady Freedom Returns a Shotgirl???
I just might be. I did put in a bunch on applications today at the Mall, but I do have a lead on a job as a Shotgirl at a local Bar. I never thought of it before. But then again why not?
I go in tomorrow night @ 7:30 p.m for application and short interview.

I've heard of and have personally known reputable people who have seen things. I'm hesitant to ridicule those people, but Bigfoot hunters and ghost hunters are sources of amusement to me.Bigfoot hunters, ghost hunters, and 9/11 truthers attend the same church.
Who says sasquatch doesn't exist ?
Just because they haven't caught one yet, don't be a doubting Thomas.
They do have the location of one narrowed down to the vicinity of the White House.
