and take away your guns? Do you pay taxes? If you do, you are already part of the "system."

Then if they have us in the "system," there is absolutely NO...sm - Not the OP but

reason for all the personal stuff on the census, like name and phone number. If we are "in the system," it makes absolutely no sense to me to answer their nosy questions! I agree with the previous msg. And to make my point even better for those coming around, I've placed a sign on my door that says simply: "To the Census takers: One person lives here, AMERICAN CAUCASIAN." Doing this will prevent doorbell-itis for them and an irked reaction from me!

People move. Either way, I never give anyone my correct phone number. - Toejam

If you don't want a census taker at your door, send in the form as requested. The census doesn't care who you are. The numbers are important for schools and government representatives. The Census has been a law since about 1800. It is the only way we can "count" who's where. The IRS does not have access to the reocrd, nor does the Census Bureau give out any personal information until 72 years after the actual census count. Not sending the form simply costs the govenment money, because someone WILL knock on your door. It's a law that everyone is counted. The Census taker is making $12.50 an hour. Why make it hard on this person? He or she just needs the work.

There is no question on the census for that...sm - VTMT

asks for your phone number.

The census form that Ihad did ask for a pho. #... - Excuse me

I didn't fill that OR my name out. None of their biz, especially if this is only for purposes of counting people. What difference does it make for an AMERICAN CITIZEN to provide a name? None whatsoever!

I stand corrected, sorry. However, the request...sm - VTMT

for a phone number was supposededly in case there were any questions. I don't think that a phone number is a requirement as some people do not have a phone. If you don't want to give your phone number and they have a question they can always send a census worker to your home.

They play $16.00 in my town in Texas. no message - mt

Am glad you have something that pays better for a while. When you meet with those who will not cooperate, it is because they know things. For example, the census is sooooooo confidential that the bureau actually sells the data that they collect all the way down to the street you live on. Anybody with a reverse directory can then know who you are, how old you are, etc., and then you will get all sorts of unsolicited advertisements. Try filling it out in Spanish if you don't believe me. All of a sudden you will be getting solicitations in Spanish. Anybody who has ever gotten the long form, knows how invasive this can be. Count me as still upright, and then don't ask anything else. When I worked in marketing research we got solicitations from the bureau offering to sell us all manner of demographic information collected via the census. And, if it is so confidential, how do they know who did not fill it out? Does that bar code have something to do with it? hmmmmm

I'm on the "do not call list". I doubt - Toejam

it will increase any sales calls.

You are blessed if you do not get calls. You are doubly blessed if you do not get unsolicited mail. I don't care to have my privacy invaded by anyone seeking information.

I think you are paranoid about the census but to each their own. The DNC list truly works, and if you receive unsolicited calls after being it, you can report the caller to the FTC. That works as well because I have done it. There is a toll-free number to call to get your address removed from the junk mail list, it lasts for 5 years. If you file a tax return, and I assume that you do, the government knows all there is to know about you anyway.

Oops, should say "on it." I wish there was a way to edit/spell check these messages before posting, lol!

I'm on the do not call list too, have been since day 1, but - me

[ In Reply To ..]
I still get calls. Most of the ones I get are the automated ones, dial 3 to take to someone about lowering you credit card interest rate, etc. but I still get other solicitations.

I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...

Does anyone care to share that if you are hired at optiscript part time will they let you change to full time easily? I know they are a small company and do not over hire so I do not know how easily this could be done. I am thinking of cutting down to part time at my current employee so I can work part time elsewhere and eventually just leave my current employee once I see how the land lays elsewhere. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated :) ...

I am still debating whether to enroll at Andrews or M-TEC. My husband is retiring in 2 years and I want to be able to work part-time after that. Is it realistic to think that I can complete the course at Andrews or M-TEC in 12 months at the most, work full time for a year and then part-time after that. I would want to be able to work from home. I guess the other question is "How long after graduating could I expect to earn enough to make it worth the investment, in a reas ...

For those who went full time to part-time with MQ (because you got another job)...how did that work? Did they approve the schedule you wanted, or did they make you take a schedule? My CCM told me in my area there is no more flexible part-time available but could do regular 24 hour part-time...she said she would have to approve my schedule if and when I do this. I may be doing two part-time jobs to start and I am trying to figure out how to do my scheduling around both jobs. Does a ...

I'm considering dropping to part-time. I checked out the MQ Central for the specs and it indicates 24 hours/0.03 PTO per 48 hr pay period/1.37 hours for a max of 5 days/40 hours yearly. My CCM said if I happened to work 39 hours in a week, I'd get more PTO accumulated during that time. She said there are PT folks who get just as much PTO as the FT do. I didn't see anything like that mentioned in the PTO section on MQ Central. ...

I was talking to my CCM last week and she said the facilities just let them know they do not need them anymore, just like that. They go with their own VR.
