OMG!! How do you respond when someone says this about your job? My neighbor just the other day said this when I told her what I do at home. We just moved into our house and she and I have talked a few times...Saturday night she said, "I know you work at home, but what exactly do you do"? I said, medical transcription...she said, oh, do you have to read the doc's handwriting and type it out...I said, no, they dictate and I transcribe what they are saying...HER REPLY: Oh, I could do that...! I didn't know what to say. I mean, she's a teacher, and I did not presume to say, oh, you spend all day with 20 6 year olds, I could do that...that just burns me up. I felt like saying to her, ok, let's go to my office and see how well you do...
I really need to know how to handle this sort of situation if it ever comes up again. I honestly did not know how to respond. I just said, yeah, well... I thought I liked her, but now I'm not so sure...

We started the new spacing about 2 months ago. At first I said "oh no". sm
Our QA dept did tell us about the tip Ctrl + Shift + F, 2 spaces, tab, 1 space. I was really surprised how quickly my brain accepted the new one space after periods and colons. I still do the double check, but I'm finding very few doubles now.
My kids always say "oh my gosh another vacation" but like I tell them..
It's all about the vacations..put it this way.. I wanna live while I'm young..everyone waits until they are "retired" to travel..Well, trust me, by then, your tired and have health issues. We went with an older couple on our trip..substitute parents.. and this was their first cruise (third in a year for us haha) but first for them at retirement age..and I felt like they missed out on a lot because they tired easily, feet swelled up, legs cramps, irregular bowels..you name it..they had it.. So, I'm living NOW so by the time I am retired I've already seen and done it all. Live for today because tomorrow will be here soon enough and it might be too late..My friends tell me they want us to adopt them as my 8-year-old has been to Hawaii twice, Carribean, Bahmas, Disney World twice.. etc..hubby was a traveler when I married him and he got me addicted.
Bellagio..wow..we've never stayed there.. we stay at the Harrah's properties i.e. Paris, Flamingo, Ballys etc..cuz we get free room offers..Someday I'm gonna splurge and stay at the Bellagio. We go go to the Bellagio for their great buffet..
I wonder if we've talked before.. I met someone on here not to long ago that liked going to Vegas too..I bet it's me.. I think your hubby was a truck driver?? If so, sorry if I repeated my love of travel stuff..
Now who is whining, "oh poor baby you have to scroll"
Whine to somebody else. MQ MTs who have been "taken" by this
company have no other option but to try to discussion and communicate
on such a web site. Nobody at MQ will be honest. And if you have to scroll
well so be it, you are in a far better situation than us MTs who are trying to
figure out how to get out of the hole MQ has put a lot of us in financially. Most
people by the way don't have the ability to just up and switch jobs. We have
bills, children, and it takes time to learn new accounts, new programs, buy new
things for new programs. remember? or are you so independently wealthy that
these things don't affect you?
When your dog "puts one of the kids in their place" and mauls face, will it still be "oh we
:+
When a friend asks how you are today you reply "Oh, I'm feeling within normal limits."
