Snarky
This MTSO has a point about assuming that a yahoo email address should be ignored. Assuming anything, for the most part, is not a real smart move.
That said, I've got stories to tell about smallish MTSOs (especially the Mom and Pop variety) that would curl your hair... (so many of them have the charming 'tude evident in the your loss comment at the end of the post).
Not Snarky At All (sm)
Yes, as a matter of fact, I took a speed-reading course in eighth grade and am an extremely fast reader. Lightning-fast, I've been told. I think the problem is as you stated partly. As the contestants on Wheel of Fortune tell Pat Sajak, I work for a VERY large company specializing in medical language... LOL. It probably is too many cooks spoiling the editing broth, like you say.
I will go try a bit harder tonight and see what happens.
Thanks!
Owner is snarky.

I agree with you, you are not snarky (LOL)
when editing, I find myself reading and then not listening, then I find myself listening and not proofing as well....so there is a fine line being able to stay focused enough to do both....but I suppose that is no different than straight transcription when learning to listen and type at the same time. Its like editing take the same skill, but then yet different skill.....not sure that makes sense.
Is is Kathy Yip? If yes, then snarky means RUDE!!!
RE: Is is Kathy Yip? If yes, then snarky means RUDE!!!
What does a person's personality have to do with you performing your job of transcription?
Not snarky at all, I read it as just trying a humorous approach
I mean, it's either laugh or cry, right? *shrug* I didn't find your initial posting snarky at all.
Let me ask you this, please. In all honesty and not being snarky, how could/should we prepare ourse
for something like this? I've been an MT for 15+ years. This is really my first experience working for a large company though. I typically have local clients. This is really a new deal to me. What would you suggest to prepare ourselves and for future reference if we're working for another company, how do you prepare for this possibility? Thanks in advance.
