Ok tonight was a bad night! I think I got every foreigner residence with first and last names I could not pronounce. I had one lady with the first name of Shaquayanla! I spelled so much tonight I felt like I was in a spelling bee. I had a horrible headache to top it off. I just wasn't a good night. I had a ton of hang ups and answering machines too. Finally, I gave in to my headache and called it quits for the night. I'll try and try again tomorrow. So what do you guys do when you have a night like this?? http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley7.gif

Hey lol , that was hilarious , knksmommy, (felt like u were in a spelling bee) , well i have had several nights of answering machines , hangups , hard last names , so your not alone , we feel exactly where your coming from , but i didnt have the headache to add to ithttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif, and during open calling , i normally do the same , after calling and calling and theres so many hangups and answering machines , i'll log off for a while then try it again maybe a few hours later to see has anything picked up, but i learned when you get nights like that , all the hang ups , that gives u ample time to catch up on something else FUN you wanna do , i normally play yahoo dominoes or spades , and forget all about it , that way your not just sitting there listening to answering machine after machine , so find something online you enjoy doing and when u get a night like that grab you something to snack on and enjoy , but trust me you will haveseveral more of those days so dont ever let it frustrate you , and you will have several wonderful days , so just take everyday as its the best work day of them all and nothing will frustrate you(say a lil prayer before work and trust me you will get through it with a blast) goodluck and have a good one!!

Well I'm getting ready to start now so I've said my prayer, did a yes dance, and took a xanax....lmao. No not really, but I did get up got my shower, fixed my hair, and am ready to go. I'm going with the "when you look better, you feel better" theory. Let's hope it works this morning!

Oh and Tammy....do you use Touchstar? I can't have any other programs or websites open because when a call comes in it will bring up the web page and minimize the screen. Maybe you know a trick I don't. Hmmmmmm.

yes i do use touchstar , try placing your cursor on the outer edge of thetouchstar screen and stretch it out from the top to the bottom and it should override the screen you pull up once a call comes in , if not im not sure i never had that problem , i pull up multiple screens , and everyscreen i pull up will go on top of the next screen , but it will remain up , i just make the screen smaller so that i could still see touchstar, just play around with it i guess maybe someone else can come on and give some better advice, i hope you have a great day at work today

Hi I do the same as tammiehouston and browse the internet and ready my email. Also chatter with my daughter in between.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif Last night wasnt a great night for me either not to mention they cut me off at 9:30 and I usually stay on till around 10:30/11:00 on Fri nights. Today wasnt too bad for a Sat. I take two hour shifts. It makes it easier for me not to stay on too long at once. Like start at 9-11 then 2-4 6-8?? It works for me! Bad to do this job with a headache usually have one when its over. lol http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gifJust keep at it and it becomes second nature. Also started ready books to fill in between calls yelling and answering machines. Good luck!

Well I just finished an hour stint. We have been having horrible storms on and off all day so it seems like I can't stay on too long. Another storm just started so if it passes quickly, I'm gonna jump back on. I have a cable phone service so it starts to mess up during the storms.....YUCK! I've worked a total of 3 1/2 hours today and only got 10 yes's. Is that bad???

No thats not bad at all! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gifI know about storms I live in southern east Fl geez do we get them. I couldnt log in a couple of times do to that. Decided I did not want a set of headphones on my head if lightening hit. lol http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley29.gifRemember you dont just get paid for yes answers you also receive credits for simply contacting and coding some calls. You will begin receiving emails that will give you how many credits you receive per day that will give you an idea. Hang in there your doing great!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif
