My Availability.
As the colder air flies in from the north, I take less
interest in outdoor and crosstown activities. You may not know this, but I do
not drive. I haven't driven for years. In fact, I owned a van that served mainly
as a storage unit before I eventually sold it to someone who decided to take it
for parts. I love to bicycle, but in this Midwestern climate, some seasons just
don't suit the activity. So I have adjusted my service schedule with the acknowledgment that I will far less frequently be leaving the house. Although
my schedule looks pretty much like it is 24 hours a day, there is no guarantee
that I'll actually be fully available to meet this schedule in truth. The
schedule I have posted on my profile is to be available to receive your calls
from 4:30 AM to 6:00 PM Central Time Zone (2:30-4:00 Pacific and 5:30-7:00
Eastern). Otherwise my listing will be available "On Alerts" it is called. This
means that I am still available for calls but in a tentative way. You are free
to call me any hour of the day, but during the hours I am "On Alerts," this
means that even though the call button is working, there is a chance I won't be
able to take the call and will ask that you reschedule. On some occasions -
usually a Saturday night or two in a month - I won't have my listing available.
This means that I have had to manually turn off my schedule feature. I do like
to have a life, you know. :-) But if my call button is indeed working (whether
available or on alerts), chances are I am definitely going to take your call
even if conditions warrant I request a later call-back time.
So feel free to call me at any time. You can log onto Keen
and use the call me button whether it says I am available or on alerts. My phone
will ring! And if I am not making a quick trip to the store, or frustrated with
chasing leaks in my ceiling (seriously, but I do laugh), or not quite stumbled
out of bed yet because you needed to call me very late - I will look forward to
the opportunity to set a call-back time and talk to you very soon. If you see
that I am not available, you can of course look forward to seeing me soon. Or if
you don't log on to the site, you can reach me at 1-800-275-5336, ext. 01903225
(that's my Keen direct line).
And remember, I'm currently offering 2
free minutes for every full 10 minutes you pay for (on a per call basis). That's
like getting almost five dollars or more back on every call!
