I was working for a telemarketing company and I dragged myself out of bed for an early morning Sunday shift. I was beat, barely keep my eyes open and running late - I'm so not a morning person. I finally get there, thinking about how I'm going to hear about being so late, tumble into the office and NO one is there. I thought - oh my gosh, something awful happened and the place was evacuated! Nope, it was the day we turn the clocks back and I wasn't late - I was an hour EARLY for my shift! Oh, the sleep I missed out on. My funny work story happened when I was living in NY. I was working for a telemarketing company and I dragged myself out of bed for an early morning Sunday shift.

I always wanted a wireless headset. I have plenty of stories to tell you from transcription that are funny. Which one do you want first? I am already following you on twitter and i reposted the contest. Ohh, hopefully I will win. I am actually borrowing my mothers headset because my children broke mine a while ago and I had to make them last because they are so expensive. Yes!!! I always wanted a wireless headset.

I used to have Sony Professional headset- one of those you use in a recording studio that weighed 12 lbs. I yanked it off my head one night but managed to do it where my head was in the Y split of the cord so I not only raked my ears, I smacked myself in the face and throat with the headset. By the way, I like the new video on your homepage. That is precisely why I had to get a wireless headset.

I've been coveting one of those plantronics headsets. So often I get on the phone and my puppy will start a "barkfest". Last time I tried to chase him out of my office with a corded headset on I pulled a moment right from the scene in My Big Fat Greek Wedding where she falls to the floor of the travel office because her headset is plugged in. Thnk how far I could chase him I were cordless!! Happy Anniversary. I’ve been coveting one of those plantronics headsets. So often I get on the phone and my puppy will start a “barkfest”.

So sort of noticeable. One night I went on & started the opening dance (a sort of solo 1920s cancan, I assure you it worked well) & I had some moves which involved kicking my feet up in front of my face & twiddling them round and round. And that's when I noticed I was still wearing my flip-flops... In my twenties I worked as a dancer for a while, and for a while of that I had the opening & closing solo dances.

I like to have two, one for at home and one in my laptop bag. I've got through quite a few headsets since I started my transcription business several years ago. The very first headset I bought was a boring Logitech one and it lasted less than two weeks. Not because it was a bad headset, but because I was a nice neighbor and offered to puppy sit during the day since I was at home. The puppy would sit by my feet and chew his rawhide all morning. Well, one morning he got a little headset cord mixed in with his rawhide. Ooops! My second headset got knocked off the desk one too many times and the earpieces just couldn't take the massive abuse I put it through! LOL This is actually an ongoing problem with the corded type of headset for me. The cord gets caught on my foot, or one of the kids walks by, or the dogs chase each other past me, and whoosh there goes my headset. Well, I’m always in the market for a new headset.

I would almost never leave my desk to walk anywhere w/o a file folder in my hand. :) If I walked quickly and held a folder people would leave me alone thinking I was in the middle of doing something important. Most times I was actually going to get some coffee or use the ladies room.

Here's my work story: A few years ago, when I worked in an office with lots of other people, I'd wear my phone headset anytime I didn't want to be interrupted. That way, if someone walked by my office and saw me "on the phone," they'd leave me alone. I’ve been wanting one of those headsets…maybe this is my chance to win one!

I heard Lynn talk about how comfortable it is, and I'd like to start creating some videos, so I need a headset, and this sounds perfect.
