I grovel before you with my face in the cat's litter box.  You see, I have just lost another career-advancing job, stool-cart pusher for my local pathology lab.  They said I was not qualified!  And that I had lied on my resume! 

Sigh, so, please understand, this has caused a serious cutback in my meds!  My various personalities are gaining control!  Please ignore any of my postings from the past, present or future. 

And, again, please, please forgive me.  I will now retreat to my padded cell and shall bother you no more. 

One of my many personalities gained control there for a moment!  Whack!  Back in you go! 

There, now, where was I...  Oh, yes, you see, I just lost YET ANOTHER career-advancing job as a septic tank engineer.  Ah, I had such hopes for that one...  And, again, they accused me of not being qualified for it!!!  Fools... 

As I was saying, once I am able to obtain my meds (fortunately, the septic tank company has COBRA!), I will be able to wrest control of myself from my various personalities and shall never darken your MT doorstep again.

Until then, please ignore me.  I'm insane. 

I am so sorry.  That personality got a bit out of control for a moment there.  I shall now flagelate myself as I beg your forgiveness.

Again, I apologize for being such a total and complete EDITED!

I am just one of the millions of MTs in the world who is tired of being overworked, under appreciated and fed up with being treated like crap in plain English. I am also tired of companies who treat you like an employee when its convenient for them and an I.C when its convenient for them. I decided to be an IC to get away from the unflexibility of being an employee, you know...the fixed hours, and days, constantly being told what to do and how to do it and dealing with the too many chiefs and not enough Indians syndrome. So, I become an I.C. and I just figured out that I have none of the benefits of an employee, but still am doing the same things as when I was an employee. According to the law if you are an IC, no one should be called your supervisor or tell you how and when to do your work as long as the outcome of the work is the way they want it. I realize that companies need to know our schedules and such to better distribute the work, but come on lets face it, we all became IC's to get away from the drugery of constantly having to answer to someone and the freedome of being our own boss, but in the end thats the last thing we are. Another complaint...what ever happened to manners...I am referring to the courtesy of answering an e mail or a phone call? Somebody needs to put out a book of etiquiette on e mailing people. 

 Lastly, to all the supervisors out there, lighten up...you are driving alot of good MT's out the door with your nasty attitudes and God complexes. Be patient with those just starting out. None of us were born knowing anything and you were once a newbie.  Stop making people afraid to ask questions because they will be made to feel stupid if they do.  Just because you work at home does not mean you should bring your problems with you when you sign on for the day. This is the same as any other job and you should not bring your personal problems with you. The economy is in bad shape and many of us live paycheck to paycheck and God forbid we miss a few....so we take crap from people because we know what will happen if we loose our jobs/contracts. I think alot of sups know this and take advantage of it. We should all be working together not against each other.

I swear the MT must be the most underrated and underpaid and underappreciated profession in the world. I was just thinking that the other day when I was typing for a doctor who had a mouthful of food while dictating and when he was not eating, he was coughing in my ear...this on top of a heavy Oriental accent of course.  Then you have to feel guilty about putting that report in edit.

You would not believe how many people envy us because we work at home. oh you are so lucky you dont have to deal with traffic and bad weather. Its not all its cut out to be I tell them. Lastly, I just wanted to say I am not referring to any specific company or person, I just wanted to vent and I am sorry if what I meant to say did not come out right or did not make sense.

Dont get me wrong, I am grateful for my job every day that I sign on to work in this day and age, but there are times again when I would like to drop kick my computer and my supervisor out the window. I hope you all have a great day and dont forget to get out there and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE
