If you mean quotation marks...
there's something about the programming for this board that makes them disappear inside a post (and in the Name box too, IIRC?).
There's a way around that, though ... just use 2 apostrophes in a row for each one, like ''this.'' ;)
The quotation marks don't stay when the post goes through. nm
I didn't realize that they wouldn't.
My quotation marks didn't make it on.

quotation marks don't work inside messages here
But you can fudge that by using apostrophes instead, 4 total, 2 in front of word and 2 behind the word. Like this: ''apostrophes''
based on your paragraph
it came to about the same amount of lines, actually, the 37 char lines were a fraction higher; so it sounds comparable to me.
Doctors who say next paragraph...
after each and every sentence!
Your 1st paragraph should be burned into
THIS PARAGRAPH SAYS IT ALL:
I also questioned line rates for a handful of MTSOs and flat out said too low of a rate for me. I have 20+ years of experience. They'd be getting my 100% effort and 100% knowledge, but only want to pay for about 50% of what that's worth.
In a nutshell, this is EXACTLY the problem with the MT field. We should all burn this paragraph into our brains, carve in into our desks, write it on our forearms in indelible ink.
The MTSO's should memorize this paragraph, as well. Maybe we should print it out in flowery Gothic script, and put in on their desks when we go for job interviews.
If you reward a worker with fair pay and decent treatment, they'll put out 110-120% in effort. Pay the worker only half of what they're worth, and that's all you're going to receive from them.
LOW WAGES BREED DISGRUNTLED CLOCK-WATCHERS AND CHEATERS!
should have put quotes around next-to-last paragraph nm

Everything you describe in your first paragraph
is exactly what Im dealing with right now. I got put to a lower tier, cpl was cut by almost 2 cents. They gave me the act. from Hades, too. (i hope I am NEVER a patient at that miserable hospital!) My former M-F 8-hr days have turned into M-Sat or Sun 12 hour days. The platform has been as slow as molasses all summer. All I ever do any more is work. Yet as of tonight, the day after payday, my fridge is EMPTY, and so is my bank account. It all went to pay bills, and there still wasn't enough left over for my meds, still languishing on a shelf somewhere at the pharmacy in town.
The only bright part of my day today was reading your description of the 'Rectangle of Revulsion'. It's true, and disgusting, but still the description had me LOL.
Sorry my quote marks disappeared. (??!!)

OMG! I could have written that exact paragraph ~ sm
I thought I was the only one with medical problems that got the boot when I had to take off to have surgery! 6 years of my life I have dedicated to this MTSO to be treated this way. What happened to loyality and respect? My company was Tidewater/Imedx - no benefits. Notifying in advance does no good as they ignore it and if asked to ever train someone as your backup - DON'T DO IT!!! That means they are going to give your account to them.......
I agree with your post, except your last paragraph, that's just LOL..nm

I think someone marks her calendar to be sure to routinely make these

Apologies - my quote marks were deleted!?...nm
nm
PS: In fact, read the 1st sentence, last paragraph: sm
It says that is my take on everything. It wasn't meant to be viewed as carved in stone.
answer MQMT's 3rd paragraph question.
nm
so, in simple terms and a small paragraph, what's
NM
My quote marks on "nack" didn't show up.
I know it's knack, but the OP used nack.
Yeah, this site doesn't accept quote marks. You have to
use an apostrophe around your phrase instead, or at least that's what I do.
