I get unlimited long distance for 18 dollars or 19 dollars a month plus regular service.

There's The Neighborhood too -- have you tried it? nm

sad day in the neighborhood
It went downhill after that.
MCI - The Neighborhood
I used it for years and it had unlimited calling - never had a problem. Only recently changed to Charter because I no longer use a C-phone or Lanier... everything is internet based.
We must live in the same neighborhood (sm)

The cost of living is too high here to work for 8 cents per line.


The nationals have sucked up all the work here because it is such a high cost of living.


It would be fine if they would give me a decent account, but I haven't had a decent account from a company in such a long time, I just gave it up.  I am tired of wasting my time and energy only to get the worst of the worst again.  You can't make a living on it.


Job hunt networking
I'm a non-newbie with over 25 years experience in acute care (mainly OPs & ESL- I worked for a small company that hired a lot of 'fresh' people, so ESL from all accounts tended to be farmed to me). In any event, that well has run dry and there is no longer work, so I'm looking for somewhere else to be gainfully employed- as opposed to IC status. I had been with that company for 15 years and admit to being a bit spoiled as far as TATs- I had standing accounts that had disgustingly flexible turnarounds, so for the most part as long as the work made it into the office within 24 hours, they did not care when I did it; in other words, I had no set schedule.

Are there still situations to be had like this, or should I resign myself to locking into a schedule? Does anyone know of anybody hiring for something that's fairly flexible (I live on a farm and sometimes things come up where my husband needs an unexpected helping hand or other specific tasks require two people)?
always networking locally
I work for a national company, but also have two local docs for small part-time work (better pay than the national). I'm always networking whenever I meet anyone in the medical field, letting them know what I do, how long I've done it, and that I love the work. Be friendly and let them know you're available; that's how I got the local work. You never know what will come up, even if it's months/years later.
Figured with research and networking somebody would know.
Of course I don't expect someone to answer me and tell me one specific company who absolutely has the best benefits.  Maybe I should have worded that differently.  I just figured someone would have some suggestions.  Thanks for the advice on the private insurance.  I may just end up doing that because out of three companies that I have spoke with the insurance is expensive and not worth it.
This is a networking board for current events in MT
This is a current event that has obviously sparked a lot of concern within the MTs on this board.  Obviously since this topic has been discussed so much it is the interest of quite a few people. This is a life-changing event for almost 500 people, and for some their only means of networking to discuss what concerns them.  I apologize that it has bothered you, but at the moment it is my only connection to my fellow workers going through the same things.  Please bear with us or skip over the posts.
