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.

A party horn! I never thought of that! Thanks, Amber!

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.
Does that mean some people prefer a call center job?      


Oh, yeah. Those starry-eyed, idealistic young winos and mental patients:

Amber has seen 'em all pass through the call center during her six-week career.

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.
DUmmy yeomannumbers is the type that worries Amber. What about those starry-eyed young direct-marketing recruits?

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.

For Amber to maintain her girth, she's going to have to be packing in the calories like there is no tomorrow.  We've seen the "recipes" she's come up with that she's proud to post on the DUmp.  I can only imagine what she's cooking for herself on a day-to-day basis.

Jeez, I used to insult them all the time, when I had a land line phone.

Another trick I liked to play was to engage in a bantering conversation to see how long I could keep them on the line without getting any answers from me. At around the ten minute mark, if they hadn't already hung up on me, I tell them that I thought I had prevented them from making 4 or 5 additional calls. At that point they always hung up.

I'd say that Amber's call center had better hire some tougher skinned, mo' brazen people or their precious "Political Polling" numbers will suffer.

From now on, I'm going to look at polls differently.

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?

Hey, Amber dear, I know you're reading this, sweetheart.

I was first-hand, up close, caught in between two tornadoes on Monday.

First-hand, up close, although I will admit I didn't see them, as it was raining too hard where I was at.....right smack in between them.

(http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g419/Eferrari/june/double_zps04b504e8.jpg) (http://s1100.photobucket.com/user/Eferrari/media/june/double_zps04b504e8.jpg.html)

Of course I got shook up, but I got over it.  I mean, it's not as if I was in combat where other people specifically were trying to kill me; it was just Mother Nature doing her job, and by random chance I happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  It wasn't anything personal, so I got over it.  No allegations of "PSTD" here.

If it hadn't been raining so hard, this is what I myself would've seen:

(http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g419/Eferrari/june/0013_zps17eacb29.jpg) (http://s1100.photobucket.com/user/Eferrari/media/june/0013_zps17eacb29.jpg.html)

And if I'd been up in the air, it would've looked like this:

(http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g419/Eferrari/june/0014_zpsf7ec92a8.jpg) (http://s1100.photobucket.com/user/Eferrari/media/june/0014_zpsf7ec92a8.jpg.html)

It was a pretty big thing, Amber dear; the other one, the one that destroyed a whole entire city near here, was much smaller.

I tell you what, sweetheart; if I had to make a choice between encountering a phenomenon of nature that could destroy me--but it's not personal; nature doesn't have anything against franksolich--and encountering other people who specifically wish me dead--that's real personal, Amber dear--I'll take the first option any time.

So don't be trivializing PSTD by alleging you have it because of a long-ago tornado; you don't know shit, Amber dear, about the terror and fear those authentically afflicted with PSTD felt.  (And of course, neither do I.)

Grow up, sweetheart.

The "polling" part is 99.99% bullshit.

They say polling or survey because those things have a loophole in the "do not call" laws.

It's all telemarketing.

When I was young I wanted to be a truck driver.

and yet we are surprised when the polls are so spectacularly wrong.

I've always wondered about telephone polling.

It's a very rare, peculiar type of person who will cooperate with a telemarketer call - which is all these annoying polls calls are.

So if they only get to talk to oddballs, how can they be accurate?

Yet they are. Astonishingly accurate - within their stated statistical range.

Really inaccurate numbers are usually because candidates leak bogus "internal polling" data as a campaign strategy.

("Internal polling" supposedly had Eric Cantor up by twenty points, hoping to suppress his opponent's turnout.)

You still hear people arguing about "too many dems" or "too many repukes" in the sample, but they're always 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.

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 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".


Alright Gobucks, you talked me into it.  How about something from the Hickory Lane Paranormal Society?

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.

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.

Surely the Hoyt girls are as honest as they are stupid, right?

Before I say what I'm going to say let me say that I don't know if Sasquatch exists. It may exist. It may not exist.

With the above out of the way, my wife will sometimes watch the show Bigfoot Hunters or whatever it's called. When they do their "investigation" I generally sit and laugh. She finally asked me once if I ever saw or heard anything strange in the woods. Keep in mind that I've spent the biggest part of my life in oak woods, pine ridges, and river swamps. I told her that I had encounter a ton of strange things in the woods, but I was able to figure out what 99.9% of them were because I was in the woods during the day.

Even during the day the woods can make a lot of noise. At night, the woods are even more alive because so many animals are nocturnal.

I remember once being way back in the woods. There were no houses around for miles. Out of the blue I heard what sounded like a person or animal groaning. It was very loud, but I really couldn't tell if it was near or far away. Sometimes it would be a quick groan. Sometimes it would be more drawn out. I got to looking around and finally found the groaner. There were two tall, slender trees that were apart from each other at the base, but almost crossed about 20' or so above the ground. When the wind would blew just right it would cause the trees to rub together where they crossed.

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.

But I will never forget a day when I was 12-13 years old, squirrel hunting with a Stevens Mod. 94 as a huge black bear came ambling straight at me through a dense tangle of wild grape vines.

I was shaking so hard I nearly fell down as I tried to decide whether to shoot or run, just as the bear broke from cover and revealed itself as a half-grown black Angus steer. I've never been so relieved in my life.

And that's not a bouncy.

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.

All that being said, I believe that LFR will have to throttle back on her activities with The Hickory Lane Paranormal Society. Reason being that when she agreed to take on the extra responsibilities of manager at the call center she also agreed to develop and write the policy and training manuals from scratch. This is going to take a week or two.

To many that might not seem like a lot of time until consider a personal time budget for producing original artwork, supervising her personal housekeeping staff, creating nutritious and yummy organic recipes for "on the go" executives and preparing her travel arrangements to the east coast (to give a motivational speech* to the call center slackers in NYC). Good thing LFR has been releaved of the responsibility of taking her medications. This will save her precious time that can be put to better use. It remains to be seen if gym time will be impacted though.

*This might sound like a daunting task but really it’s all play for a professional with a B.A. degree in communications. No worries.
