Lizzie asks…
Is my job inconsiderate or is it just me?
I work at this company that staffs models, actors, etc. for agencies. out in NJ (I won’t reveal the name). The way it works is like this: A separate company sends out “scouts” to shopping malls to have “potential candidates” fill out contact cards which comes back to my company and us “appointment setters” have to call these people up and get them to come in for a free evaluation with a director.
The job has base pay ($12.50/hr) + bonus/commission if u get at least 50% of the people thru the door for 2 weeks (i.e. 2 out of 4 or 3 out of 6). This is not as easy as it sounds. We’re given at least 200-400 cards in stacks of 25 throughout the day to call, we dial the #s, we say everything we’re suppose to say, but that doesn’t change what the person ur calling is gonna do – Most will not pick up, some are wrong #s, some are not interested, and some just filled out the card only b’cuz the scout was being a pain in the butt with them or they thought the scout was cute. So a lot of the time, the leads (or cards, if u will) are crappy.
So us appointment setters do everything we’re supposed to do, but if we dont have enough appointments throughout the day, they get pissed and blame it all on us when its not our fault. If u have 1 appointment and u’ve been there for like 5 hrs, u will get sent home and have to come back tomorrow, because they say ur “wasting time“. How am I wasting time if I’m calling all these people, non-stop, one after the other and they dont pick up? What about the ones who tell me they’re not interested, etc.? I’m actually SAVING TIME by finding out if they’re not interested so that their card doesnt get recycled to someone else! What they ask of us is equivelant to asking a man w/ no arms/legs to climb the stairs – it’s IMPOSSIBLE!
U know what else? I’ve been there for a month, I had one absence the other day cuz of my allergies and im still a little sick, so they pull me into the office and question me about it, I told them all about my symptoms and how it would have effected my work negatively if I came in, all he had to say was “Well lets keep the immune system up from now on”, WTF?!?!? How?!?? Is there some medical technology I’m not aware of!?
I’m only there for another 30 days (until I take the state exam for EMS…and pass it) so I shouldnt complain but still u gotta admit, theres some seriously f***** up $hit going on at this place. Thoughts?
The Expert answers:
Your right, I get hayfever at times and if they told me to keep the immune system up from now on…I woulda told em to fcuk off.
Also, have you told them what you have just told us?
Search for a new job from now on while you’re still working there.
Michael asks…

Theyer Crying out to us

I need your help..!!
They need Your help..!!
Because i can not do it all by myself.!!
Recycle..!!
Build a Compost..!!
These are the actions that will help our world the most..!!
The Expert answers:
Your sentiment is a good one. You really need to drop all of the unnecessary punctuation (…!!) but need to add punctuation in some places (We’re) Drop the unnecessary caps that are not in the beginning of the sentence. You should really dig a little deeper for what is the most important actions for our world, other than throwing old food into a heap in the back yard, and recycling, even though those are good things to do. It just doesn’t seem like they’d be the most important of all.
Keep writing poetry, you are off to a good start.
Maria asks…
Could someone please answer this recycling question?
Please no haters….my husband is currently in the front lines, I mean the front lines in Afghanistan where they are burning about a trillion tons of chaotic waste per day. They burn things people in the U.S. don’t even know about.He is only speaking what he seen, not to make judgment. Could someone please tell me what recycling my pepsi bottle, does? I would love to know. Every one here follows this procedure weekly, and is spending so much time with recycling pickups and dividing all their crap into little bags and what not. Any idea why we are doing this? Honestly?
I meant “he has seen” my improper grammar I’m sorry
The Expert answers:
I agree it’s a basic good idea just impractical. I know that locally they encourage recycling. But soda& beer can are all that are actually recycled. I have friend that is a disabled Veteran, he is a security guard at one of the land fills. The recycle pick up trucks dump every thing but cans. I save my very few soda can about a dozen a months for a local church member that comes by and gets them. We have a plastic bucket with drain holes on the back porch where we put them. I add the ones people toss in front of the house.
Steven asks…
I need a good idea for my graphics mock exam?
I do graphics at school, and basically i’m really crap at it =(, everyone in my class (only about 7 others) has all these ideas and i have none and have little motivation towards this mock…I only took graphics because I had no idea what else to take after my first two options, and my mum said i was creative and suggested graphics, unfortunately i agreed and now i do graphics, i very much regret this decision.
The exam lasts all day from, 9:05am to 3:05pm, i do get break times, at 11:05am and 1:30pm, so it has to be able to be done and finished in that time.
Okay, so it has to be about recycling and must be some kind of poster.
Do not feel as you are cheating, it IS a mock and has little importance…Please help i just want to get it other and done with and finished and that’ll add to my list of GCSEs in the end, so it won’t be a complete waste of time.
This is my last resort please help…I get so bored in lessons, i just don’t know what to do, because i have to do loads of preparation crap for it.
Please help, thank-you…also if you have done this mock for graphics, please forward your ideas…ugh i feel so dirty doing this but it’s the only way, and plus it is only a mock.
PS: I live in western England…I don’t know if that makes any difference…it might limit the materials i can collect i guess.
The Expert answers:
Make it more specific or you’ll end up picking up rubbish and gluing it to a poster board.
There must be a message which you could portray in your art. Maybe a type of rubbish people do not know can be recycled and you could prepare by photographing the route of the rubbish from bin to recycling place to new object.
Western England…contact Viridor waste management. They are a national recycling and waste control company and can surely help with some inspiration.
You could do art about oil. Plastics can be recycled, and are made from oil. Oil is a fossil fuel running out and damaging our world with bad emmissions. Plastic takes years and years to rot away underground and produces bad emissions when it does. Recycling plastic saves emissions being produced.
You could promote the recycling of a particular item that causes alot of damage to the world such as plastic bags.
Make up a catchy slogan for your poster too to help promote the message

how to export waste paper to china?
I have an opportunity to purchase large amounts of waste paper consistently for an undefined amount of time. I know that China is importing large amounts of recycled paper, my question is, what are the requirements to be able to trade with China?

James asks…
Postman wouldn’t deliver junk mail?
A postman was disciplined for not delivering junk mail. In my opinion he should be hailed as a hero. Everyday I get piles of junk mail that I don’t want , don’t open, and throw in the recycling bin. Its a waste of my time, and a huge waste of paper. I wish it would stop. What do you think?
The Expert answers:
I understand his position, and I am certainly frustrated by the junk mail that I receive in my mailbox, however, there are appropriate channels and behavior that is expected in a democratic society when you opopose the status quo. If he had a problem with delivering “junk mail,” then a possible start to changing the system would be to contact a legislator or engage in talks with the Postmaster in a civilized manner. I don’t think that I want any one individual to take it upon himself or herself to be the judge on what mail should and shouldn’t be delivered.
Haililng him as a hero would set a bad precedent for other postal carriers who had similar ideas. We need to have assurance that the mail that is addressed to us is delivered to us. Imagine wondering if your postal carrier had a problem with a particular organization you were involved in and decided to not deliver your mail from that organization.
No, there has to be protocol and everyone who works for the USPS must follow that protocol whether they agree or not.
Carol asks…
E-wasted Recycling Fee?
I need to research about the how much percents which Users, Manufacturers, Retailers have to pay to recycle the electronic wasted…
Any example is fine, please provide me source.
Thank in advance, please help me >.<
The Expert answers:
An Electronic Waste Recycling Fee is a fee imposed by government on new purchases of electronic products. The fees are used to pay for the future recycling of these products, as many contain hazardous materials.
The Electronic Waste Recycling Fee is a fee imposed by the government of the state of California in the United States on new purchases of electronic products with viewable screens. It is one of the key elements of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act. Retailers submit the collected fees to the Board of Equalization. Retailers may pay the fee on behalf of the consumer, however the retailer must remit the same amount to the State and indicate the amount on the consumer receipt. Retailers may retain 3% of the collected fees in order to recoup costs of collection. The fees collected reimburse a number of recycling centers, who in turn offer free recycling of e-waste to consumers and businesses. The statutory recycling fees are adjusted every one to two years by the state on or before August 1 of the year. Sellers and manufacturers are subject to civil fines for failing to collect and remit the fee.
Fees are collected for the following CEDs (Covered Electronic Devices):
Televisions that contain cathode ray tubes, liquid crystal displays, or plasma screens.
Computer monitors that contain cathode ray tubes or use liquid crystal displays.
Laptop computers and Portable DVD players with liquid crystal displays.
“Bare” cathode ray tubes or any other product that contains a cathode ray tube.
