BreakPoint
Robo-call from NI
I just got a robo-call from NI because I registered for the upcoming NI Day conference. 
That was a mistake. I would have thought NI's marketing department was smarter than that.
I will now make sure to give a fake phone number in all my NI profiles.
I don't mind getting relevant phone calls from NI. But put a person on the phone. Not a machine!
Just editted my profile to remove my phone number. And I saw this. They shouldnt be calling people who have specifically asked NOT to be called.
Yeah, I used to get calls from the local sales rep (not the field support rep) all the time just because I was making up PXI configurations for proposals or even just out of pure curiousity. Always annoyed me.
But the ones that give me the biggest laugh are the emails about events coming up. "Sign up for LabVIEW Core 1 and 2". Ummm....I'm the one teaching it! That was the most recent one for me. There have been a lot more before that.

and then thy call me to ask me if and when I was planning to do the exam. -_-
That happens to me all the time when I'm trying to help people prepare for the CLAD. I am a CLA. I don't think I need to sign up for the CLAD.
I actually put in a complaint to some people while I was at the CLA Summit back in March. I was basically told that NI has several databases and they don't talk to each other. So if you do anything on their site, your data gets put into a database and automatic emails are sent regardless. NI really needs to do some research in getting these databases talking to each other. That would reduce a large percentage of the emails I get from NI.
