What a week

So bad that one of the few calls I get this week I was in the Pottie and 3 minutes later I call back and lose out on 150 bucks for tonight.

So between printer failure and pottie break I lost 500 bucks this week, oh yeah had to upgrade my wireless print server because the HP all in one did not respond to the old one.

I'm glad the week is over..

Take that darn phone with you everywhere..

I'm thinking of getting a waterproof one, as it always seems to ring when I'm in the shower.One thing I hate is haggling over fees when I'm dripping wet!

Yep. The phone never leaves my side!

Shower, on the pot, you name it, I've answered on it... What the caller doesn't know, won't hurt them and you don't lose out!

You got that right. If you don't answer the phone you loose work. I even took a job while in the dentist chair. Isn't blue tooth great.

Re: Take that darn phone with you everywhere..

I totally agree. BUT if you are going to take it into the bathroom make sure NOT to put it into a sweatshirt pocket, so that when you go to flush the phone ends up flushing too ;-) (Don't even ask how I know).

I, too, have answered the phone during a dentist and my son's doctor's appt. I hate to do it but I know most co.'s will just move on. The only time I can remember shutting it off was for a wake & funeral... that just wouldn't be right!

***Advice from my hubby this past vacation: When you know you can't accept a job shut the phone off. That way you don't even know you missed the call unless they leave a mssg.

Re: Take that darn phone with you everywhere..

I recently answered a call during a doctor's appointment for my teenage son. Doctor greeted my son (not me) when he entered, was speaking to my son (not me) when my phone rang. I was sitting in the corner and quietly answered it. Doctor had * a cow * and insisted I get off the phone as he was"giving my son some instructions". I was so flabbergasted that I told the caller I was sorry, I would have to call her back. The doctor took literally 10 - 20 seconds to finish giving my son the instructions and we were outside walking to the car less than two minutes later. I called right back and was able to still get the job after profusely apologizing. The doctor was a jerk but in hindsight I should have excused myself and walked out of the room to answer the call.

If they catch you in the bathroom tell them: "give me a minute while I pull my car over to a place where I can talk"
