They say to please flex your time when work is low. Then they send out emails when things pick up and tell us we MUST be on NOW if we are short lines/hours. Yes, my life revolves around you TT! I love sitting at my computer 12 hours a day every day to accommodate YOU! arrggghhh.

Sorry, should be drives.
Guess I'm tired.
because your boyfriend drives a bus
I just don't think we are on the same page. I am not so upset that someone gets to retire at half pay at age 55, I just think it is a damn good deal and I would not complain. How many people retire at age 55? Not many!!! Good for them. I am so happy for them. What I don't understand is striking for more. It's called GREED and you are the one who is off base and bitter. I can't help it that your boyfriend makes $18K. I just hope he is very young and someday gets a better job.
Maybe you could swap hard drives.
Didn't have time to read details of all these related posts so hope I'm not too far off your issue. You don't have to buy a new pc. If you can get a copy of XP just get a different hard drive installed in your new pc, take out the hard drive that has Vista on it and keep it as a backup and keep it set up when the rest of the universe catches up with Vista. You can install a clean hard drive and install XP with all the things that go with it. If you can't do it on your own most local pc stores can do it at a really low hourly rate and get it going for you. Just a thought. Good luck.
They do believe we should all do it. The owner of TT even drives a hybrid.
They think its important that we all do what we can for the environment and they are willing to help us do it. Kudos to TT.
That is what drives me crazy about my current..sm
position. I was told when I was interviewed that each month everyone jumped on a conference call to talk about things going on with the work and with the company. Not only do they not do that, I don't know a single person I work with. The only contact I have had at all for almost 4 years is with customer service, my supervisor, or their trainer.
The management says most people like it that way, but it is starting to drive me bonkers. I don't need my hand held, but it would be nice to have some social contact with people who understand your profession, your account, or even just the company you work in.
I am finally over the 5-year mark for experience and am looking for something that is a better fit for me, but I am really disadvantaged in that I have no contacts through work. I think I need someone to adopt me. 
MT desperation is what drives the wheels of
India is such a cash-cow for them at present. Those people will work for next to nothing, under horrible conditions, just to put an extra scoop of rice on their family's plates.
I think the proper word for that kind of exploitation would be.....
'S-W-E-A-T-S-H-O-P'.

Okay this is nuts
I just clicked on the post asking what post I was talking about, and a little hand shows up - - I'M NOT KIDDING!!!!
ARE YOU NUTS?
TAKE IT! If you don't, let the rest of us know WHERE that job is . . .
OK THIS IS NUTS.
I went to their website and emailed from there. I still got a message saying my email is undeliverable. I'm not wasting anymore time on this. I just wanted to find a good company for part-time work to supplement my full-time (lack of) work.
are you nuts? Documentation is not going to
go away. If anything else, it will increase due to sue-happy people.
I think you are all nuts (there is work)
nm
I would appreciate your not calling me **nuts**
I only got 5 hours during my scheduled shift yesterday and only 3 hours during my scheduled shift today, so I know for sure. No jobs.
Please know the entire story before posting such accusatory names as ***nuts***. My account has no work for me.
Yes, it drive me nuts too
I think I work for the same company as you!
You're nuts! nm
..
was it really 5,000 lines per day - that's nuts - nm
x
absolutely nuts for that pay
The job posting for 0.035/line should be removed from the site as a gross insult for the profession, though I feel that the 8 and 8.5 cents most companies pay now is also an insult! Too many MTSOs and mom/pop shops trying to take advantage of the newbies who don't know any better.
Driving me nuts!
OK, what WAS that from? I remember it, but can't put a face or name with it. Why do I want to think it's Opie from the Andy Griffith show (ok, I'm telling my age, but so are you) :)
All she can say is "Are you NUTS?" LOL. I'd ask. Can't hurt. SM
But did you mean 2000 lines/week or 2000 lines/day?
She did not even defend herself. She confirmed it. Nuts.
nm
Yeah, it was pretty nuts.
.
You're just plain nuts. nm

I'm sorry, but this whole thread is making me NUTS!!
You have a new job and nobody is interested in getting you started working. Somebody below has been waiting since DECEMBER? They are IGNORING YOU??? You have receipts that they are receiving your emails and IGNORING YOU, and you wonder if you should be concerned and others like you are sitting around waiting. ARE YOU CRAZY? And you are asking the public if you should be concerned? You are asking STRANGERS if you should be concerned that you have a new job that basically you don't have. This is just pure insanity and again workers like you, or nonworkers really, are what perpetuates the abuse we all receive from MTSOs. How insane is it to start a job and have no work? Would you start your first day at McDonald's and just stand there in the middle of the room if nobody helped you get started? NO. You'd get help from someone there, or you'd walk out. Why in the world you sit here in cyberland and wait is so beyond my realm of imagining that I just can't comprehend it. If you take this abuse, you deserve nothing. Its that pure and simple. Its ludicrous and its embarrassing even reading about it. Sorry.
This person is nuts. She does not know the owner, and if she did sm
she would know that she does not play slot machines. Ever. She goes to casinos a few times a year, not often, and WHO CARES WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER FREE TIME AND MONEY? I know her well and obviously this person does not. This person is obviously trying to hurt the reputation of someone who doesn't deserve to have her name ruined. The truth is that the owner works 7 days a week, more than 8 hours most days. That's why we all have enough work to keep us busy and why our benefits keep increasing and why we do not have pay cuts. Geesh. Personal attacks on someone's integrity. This board is getting worse and worse.
That must be driving you absolutely nuts.
Is it? Nuts. I have been searching all over for my contract, but I'm not sure
I ever got a signed copy back from D., though I specifically requested that she send a copy back to me with her signature on it as well.
Would you please email me. I have a few questions before I drive myself nuts with this. nm

Anybody else at Webmedx going nuts from technical hassles?
I know better than to post this on their internal message board, as anything that is not 100% happy gets deleted.
This is the 2nd week in a row of technical issues on the client's end vs issues on our end, with the MTs caught in the middle, having to twiddle their thumbs during their scheduled shift, then give up their scheduled days off and work like mad playing catchup. I guess I just want to vent and commiserate . Anybody else in my boat?
I do all that for my animals and people call me nuts!
It just depends on what your priorities are I guess. Some people do that for kids, animals, a house, a car...if it makes you happy--go for it! That whole life it too short and all...
Not anymore. I think the nuts have moved on and the owner is less stressed now. I see a sm
a much calmer atmosphere this time around. I've been back just over a year and it is night and day from four years ago.
6 cents a line for surgical reports for an ESL dictator? Are you NUTS??
I'm just absolutely appalled and disgusted... 
That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee
NT
Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm
