Hello from a Jersey Guy I grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey. We are right across the Hudson river and you can see the New York City skyline from all over my hometown. I have a sister in Poughkeepsie, one in Albany and my ex-wife is from Manhattan. I know a little thing or two about New York...

Unfortunately, that many a day Yeah on some days it can be really bad. 90 percent of the time when I type to them ( RO HERE PLEASE HOLD FOR SUPERVISOR ASSISTANCE) they hang up immediately. Once or twice, I have lost my temper and typed ( RO HERE I AM GOING TO INFORM THE CALLER THAT YOU ARE A...

Auto Zone Yeah, that auto zone call was pretty much on target. What really sucks is that there are days, from the moment that I clock in at work until the moment that I clock out, those are the ONLY calls that I will get in a single day. On a typical Monday, there will be 10 or 11 of those...

Company Rules need to be changed Thank you Shel 90 for being so supportive. Truly, if anyone is to blame for alot of the mess that is currently going on with Relay, I would say that it has to be the phone companies themselves. Some of us (myself included) have even been written up or warned on...

Privacy When it comes to privacy, that is nothing to worry about. I hear so many personal phone calls, check so many bank accounts, am in the middle of so many family squabbles it all becomes a blur. Every relay opr taking a legit phone call is not worried about what is being said. We here...

Rude Users I had a call to UPS only a day or two ago. When the option that the user wanted was not on the recording they started typing "Shut up Opr and Pay Attention, Opr Shut Up ,". After I got a live rep on the line, the information that the rep was wanting was not the information that...

Getting A Job One thing I have learned from the working world, (I am 32 years old ) is that just because you take a job that you do not like does not mean that it is the end of the world or necessarily the field that you are going to stay in the rest of your life. I grew up around and learned...

Put them in an oven If I sound cruel with what I am about to say, I don't care. Any person that could do that to an animal deserves to suffer the same fate that they inflicted upon the animal. Prison time ? As we say in my hometown in New Jersey "Fuggedaboutit,". Put those guys into ovens and...

The Aristotle Approach I like that approach, not to mention that I like Aristotle. I feel that a persons IQ goes up at least ten points when reading his work .

Offended Some people are just rude, it would not matter who it is that is in front of them, they are just rude. I am very interested in history (particularly medieval history and the Middle Ages). Not too long ago, when I was in a bookstore and inquiring about a certain title "The History of...

In Regards to Wrong Numbers Being written Down One major problem with wrong numbers being written down is not always the fault of the operator, but the person on the other end of the line. I had a deaf user, today, that kept typing Salter Street, I tried saying it very slowly and clearly...

Nigerian Scams via the phone system Yes those email scams are a pain. However, I am sure that this subject has been talked about on this forum before, but since I am fairly new here I thought that I would add this to the discussion. I work, as a relay operator and over 70% of the calls that I...

Theocracy- SouthEast Asia I never said anything about a theocracy. By the way, I do know the difference between Southeast Asia and the present day problem that is going on in the Middle East. Anyone can turn on the idiot box and see the difference there. As far as how safe it is to...

Yes Yes I agree, this particular instant does not appear to have anything to do with terrorism.

Muslims as terrorist? While I am not going to classify all Muslims as terrorist, I do have to say that I have not seen any type of outspoken criticism within the community over all that has been happening in the past few decades (centuries ). As far as attitude towards Jewish people in the...

Good Paying Jobs? Merely because a person is hearing does not mean that they are going to be entitled to better paying jobs. Earlier mention of pilots and firefighters is a case in point, many active military personnel with an acute interest in flying are not going to every see the inside of a...
