Author Topic: Who do you call in case of disaster? Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 10-01-2003 11:46 PM                        As found in the Salt Lake Tribune... Keep your disaster notification card handy!!! Convergys, the customer-service company, recently issued each employee a plastic-coated wallet card containing an emergency number to call if the employee plans to be late or absent because of a nuclear attack, tornado, flood, earthquake or civil unrest.

I'm going to be a little late today ... North Korea is attacking my house. So expect me in around lunch time, alright? What's the number? 1-800-UR-FIRED?  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-02-2003 12:13 AM                     Yeah, "I'm going to be a little late today, I need to wash the radiation off"  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-02-2003 12:46 AM                        "Nuclear attack on the city. Most roadways detroyed. Much debris blocking other roads. Might be a bit late. Please don't write me up!"  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-02-2003 02:07 AM                        Who do you call in case of disaster?

Didn't I teach you anything?!?!?! I ain't afraid of no ghosts...  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-02-2003 12:42 PM                     What if there is a nuclear attack and no one is there to take your call? Does that constitute a no-call, no-show, or is there an automated voicemail system that lets you rate the degree of the disaster on your touch-tone phone? Honestly... If I so much as come down with the flu, I don't worry about calling my job until I feel well enough to do so. Besides, a half hour into my shift, they'll call ME and save me the trouble. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Steven Privett Expert Film Handler Posts: 208 From: Pasadena, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-02-2003 12:53 PM                    [ 10-03-2003, 03:09 PM: Message edited by: Steven Privett ]  |  IP: Logged
