Or work for a company that is making all of its people do 'face to face' visits! CONGRATULATIONS Greg on your User Of The Day status!! Yeah there is an outfit here that does that. But due to whatever reason they don't like me anymore and black listed me. They also do telephone work. They call US MD's and admins in charge of MRI departments for Siemens and ask about maintaince contracts, how things are going and so on. They were (don't know about now) having people also set up appointments to visit. However, you had to use your own money and bring back an expense report or something along that line to get your money back. Wife did not like that idea, it does sound a bit off. So I now make face to face visits to a chain of auto parts stores here in Belgium. ID: 71238 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

We here on land die and then get eaten by the worms, those who die in the sea get eaten by other creatures in the sea. We here on Earth are destined to both eat other things and then in turn be eaten by other things, it is the ultimate in recycling! ID: 71262 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
