Thanks much. Please ask me for any more details you would need.
Thanks again trying to load balance a cisco 1720 router w/ 2 T1′s running to it? I am working on load balancing concept in grid computing.
To simulate grid which is the suitable software? I need to figure some load balances on both delta and wye wired transformer secondaries.
What do you think of this?
I think it was very brave. Good for them.
Some three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign script attacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents.
Nina Williams, a stay-at-home mom in Lake County, Indiana, tells us that her daughter recently called her from her job at the center, upset that she had been asked to read a script attacking Obama for being "dangerously weak on crime," "coddling criminals," and for voting against "protecting children from danger."
Williams' daughter told her that up to 40 of her co-workers had refused to read the script, and had left the call center after supervisors told them that they would have to either read the call or leave, Williams says. The call center is called Americall, and it's located in Hobart, IN.
"They walked out," Williams says of her daughter and her co-workers, adding that they weren't fired but willingly sacrificed pay rather than read the lines. "They were told [by supervisors], `If you all leave, you're not gonna get paid for the rest of the day."
The daughter, who wanted her name withheld fearing retribution from her employer, confirmed the story to us. "It was like at least 40 people," the daughter said. "People thought the script was nasty and they didn't wanna read it."
A second worker at the call center confirmed the episode, saying that "at least 30" workers had walked out after refusing to read the script.
"We were asked to read something saying [Obama and Democrats] were against protecting children from danger," this worker said. "I wouldn't do it. A lot of people left. They thought it was disgusting."
This worker, too, confirmed sacrificing pay to walk out, saying her supervisor told her: "If you don't wanna phone it you can just go home for the day."
The script coincided with this robo-slime call running in other states, but because robocalling is illegal in Indiana it was being read by call center workers.
Representatives at Americall in Indiana, and at the company's corporate headquarters in Naperville, Illinois, didn't return calls for comment.

I also think it was very brave of them, they could have lost their jobs and they still stood up for what they believed was right.
I need a direct number for someone at Fifth Third Bank who has authority to reduce my mortgage payments until I find a better job.
Every time I call the public number I end up with somebody in India who reads off a script and cannot help me in a meaningful way. Any ideas of how or where to reach an authorized individual in the U.S. would be much appreciated.
If it's of any relevance, the loan originated in Naples, Fl.
Thanks in advance!

When you call, immediatly ask to speak with a supervisor. The person who answers the phone in the first place will insist that they can solve your problem and try to prevent you from going to a supervisor-- but if you keep requesting, they have to send you over.
The "supervisors" (also known as Escalations Specialists) for call centers outsourced in India are typically much better with english and they also have much more authority to help you with reducing your mortgage payments.
Best Wishes!
I remember when I working for this outbound telemarketing call center, I had made a call to Manhattan. So this guy picks up and I say " may i please speak to mr. (so and so)" you know reading off of the script. And the dude responds saying "Uh........yea this is him" and i knew it wasnt him because of the way he answered, but hey we still have to pitch anyways, if they say they are the person we have called for, but anyways...I told him about what i was callin about, and then all of a sudden i hear somebody pickin up the phone on his side, and then hear somebody say "hello?". So i was like "mr. (so and so) and the dude that had picked up was like "yea this is he". And i was like "o. so YOUR mr. (so and so)" and he was confused and was like "of course i am, why wouldnt i be?" And i was like "well, cuz the gentleman who had answered the phone had said he was you." And he was like what guy?" and i heard the dude that first answered go "Oh Sh*t". Long story short, the dude whas a burglar.
