Telemarketing Survey

[c9]

No no! Don't hang up! I'm wondering what you do, if anything, to combat telemarketing calls in your home.

1. listen to the whole spiel, then say no as much as necessary
2. hang up once they say something to show it's telemarketing
3. hang up when nobody says "Hi!" when you answer (i.e. computer is routing call because you answered)
4. never answer the phone
5. at first opportunity, ask to be removed from call list
6. remove your number from the call list because you work at the telemarketing company
7. use complicated math equations to get them to stop bugging you
8. other

CAPRICORN!!! Awesomeness. I've been thinking about getting a tattoo, preferably on my forearm but that might be a little too radical for the office.

thanks. :-D

within the next two months i believe that i will be getting my fourth and fifth tattoos.

and btw: what exactly on your arm?

Haven't decided what yet. I like John Mayer's idea with the three boxes taking up about half his forearm, he's got some filled in and empty spaces that can be filled in later. I'd get that but I'd look like I copied him, one of those "if I had come up with that I would have done it" things. My big thing is that it has to be easily covered - the forearm if tastefully done makes a good statement I think - also thought about a calve or shoulder.

it seems as though you've thought more about -where- than -what-. i find the latter more important in the end.

regardless, you can check out http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/bme-tatt.html if you're looking for more ideas.

It takes a while to make a decision. You think that's bad, you should see me try to order lunch.

yeah -- i've been thinking about the two that i want next for a little over a year now. of course, if that had been lunch, i'd be dead.
