Free DVD 2.0

I will give you a free original DVD of the movie "Knowing" (2009) for the first correct answer. Or, you have your choice of the following for free: router, hard drive, cdrw, mirror, needlepoints, car stereo, tennis raquet, tables, etc. What is the new planned date for Marriage 2.0? The hyperlinks, of the first two people mentioned, on the 11/22 posting, will clue you in. The previous date was 1/24/10

Here is a Romanian to English translation of the first comment left for this posting: "Very interesting topic posted by you. I checked your blog and I love what I am sure vazut.Cu visit to him in May. Good day!" I do not understand it or know who it is from. Please, when you leave a comment, at least identify yourself in some way, like "Joe in Georgia" or "The smelly guy in AZ elementary school"

Convergys Corporation

The following was found on Google Maps:
Convergys Corporation 287 International Pkwy,
Lake Mary, FL (407) 771-8000‎ convergys.com
3 reviews
Very bad company‎
By Paul - Sep 15, 2009‎
Its very unfortunate that a company is able to manipulate employees, treat them very poorly, using the poor economy as an excuse. This company completely under pays their employees, and in reality does not treat them well at all, also, its a fact that convergys while under paying their employees is increasing their own profit margin. Lets put it this way, what do you really think of a company that wont even supply ear phone cushions to their employees requesting that their employees purchase their own, 70 cents a piece, that is really sad and cheap. They watch you like a hawk, this is really one of the worst managed companies I've ever had the pleasure of working for. Maybe if enough people write reviews about this company, they will get the picture. I have to agree, they are morons I could write a book about how bad this company is, and ATT should be ashamed to be doing business with them.‎

disgusting company‎
By Paul - Sep 15, 2009‎
The true test of a companys treatment of its employees is its turnover rate, not what they pay or entice other companies to say about how great they are to work for, looking at the unbelievably high turn over rate this company has, and it should be apparent as to how bad they really are, and if their management had any brains or cared, they would recognize this as a sign that someday this will come back to bite them in the azzzz......they are really really bad.‎

CONVERGYS, WORST COMPANY EVER!!!‎
By Christopher - Jul 2, 2009‎
I was hired by Convergys on April 1, 2007 which is yes, April Fools Day, and I found out that I am a fool for taking the job because they treated me and all of my other co-workers like (expletive). First of all, the supervisors are always staring down your throat and watching your back which would make anyone nervous and (expletive) up their performance.
Second, the managers were always changing their rules. How are you suppose to abide by rules if they are always changing? Third, after working their for a certain amount of time, you accumulate vacation and Paid Time Off which I was saving for the right time. My supervisor was giving me GREAT reviews with great scores, but all of the sudden, it seemed like my scores were gradually getting worse and worse even though I was performing the same way. While still getting poor reviews, I noticed that they placed Awards on the wall with my name on them saying how Great of a worker I was. Now does that (expletive) make sense? I don't think so.
It also seems ironic that after I was working there for exactly 6 months, they told me I was not working up to their standards and laid me off. Last but not least, after they laid me off, I was able to collect unemployment from them because I did not use misconduct. After collecting the whole amount of my unemployment compensation, they sent me a letter in the mail asking for all of that money back, WHICH IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL. When you collect unemployment, you DO NOT have to pay it back. Convergys should be sued because of this. In fact, I am working on Legal Action towards them. CONVERGYS IS THE WORST (expletive) COMPANY EVER. CONVERGYS IS REALLY MEDIACOM, MEDIACOM IS REALLY CONVERGYS! Mediacom treats their customers like (expletive) and I am a witness because I was there. Poor customers ALWAYS had problems with their service. SUCK MY (expletive)(expletive), I HOPE YOU B*RN D0WN IN HISTORY!

Parallel Play

FaceBook: http://andrewlerner.blogspot.com/ <--Click here
I, (Tim Page) was diagnosed with this autistic spectrum disorder in 2000, just after I crashed and burned as an administrator at the Saint Louis Symphony. I had gotten rather cocky in the late 1990s and really thought I could handle a job that would involve working closely with hundreds of people every day would be the natural next step after criticism. I couldn't and I returned to Washington in terrible shape.

The diagnosis was helpful in a lot of ways -- mostly in explaining some of the things that had proved difficult, sometimes even impossible, for most of my life. And I didn't exactly "give in" to the condition, but being aware that I had it helped me make smarter choices. It also helped to explain a weird childhood that included an easy mastery of all sorts of data -- the dates of every president and president's wife, which I could recite forwards or backwards upon request, an encyclopedic knowledge of silent films and old recordings -- yet also included an absolute inability to concentrate on subjects that didn't interest me. It was also enormously difficult for me to make friends, and overstimulation would send me into fairly frightening meltdowns.

These got better as I grew up and went around the block a few hundred times. For me, at least, Asperger's Syndrome was most debilitating during my youth. And yet there is no doubt that I am still affected by it today. I sometimes feel that I have spent my life in a state of parallel play (hence the title) -- alongside but disconnected from most of my fellow human beings. And it gets lonely sometimes.

Yoga

FaceBook: http://andrewlerner.blogspot.com/ <--Click here for comments. Attended my first Yoga class ever, today! I guess I performed Yoga. It was scary, and hard to follow. I was uncomfortable and puzzled. I walked out, exhausted after 15 minutes. Do I not know how to breath? What is the purpose of closing the eyes and chanting "ohmmmm". I did not not do either, so I can see and hear what else I am supposed to be doing. I believe "ohm" is an electricity term. Oh yeah... everyone had naked feet! Please click on a lettered box below. Each box corresponds to the following choices: A) Funny. B) Informative. C) Clever. D) Disagree. E) Excellent. F) Frivolous.

I made my first purchase of my first Whamo Superball since 1967! It was $1.99 at Sports Authority!

321-214-9855 has been permanently disconnected. This was my VoIP telephone number.
