Well, I'm not going to toot my own horn because s/m
every time I do I never fail to do something to knock myself down a peg or two. I assume I'm an OK MT or I wouldn't still be there. They've never asked me to be a lead or Q.A., which is okay because I wouldn't do it anyway....been there, done that...don't wanta.

Go toot your horn somewhere else. MT is NOT going the way of the Do-Do as long as
their are dictators that can't speak a declarative sentence and clearly or refuse to type into an EMR software. Tessier isn't doing MTs ANY favors no matter what her intentions are and clearly neither are you.
