She really loves it! She has been there since August.  Her pay has been really great. I am hoping I will get a chance there as well.

Good Luck to you

I have changed careers a few times, all due to sheer boredom and after only 5 years I am already fighting it again doing MT.  Interestingly, when my doctor prescribed Cymbalta for my diabetic neuropathy last year, I found my production went up and it was much easier to focus on not only the job but the housework, etc.  Have no other symptoms of depression, and am off the Cymbalta now (it did work wonders for the neuropathy). 

You might try spiffing up your workspace a little with new curtains or a nice picture on the wall...something that will make you smile when you look at it.  Good luck, and take heart in the fact you are not the only one. 

is involved with them and fostered labs before she got another dog of her own.  They will provide the dog with medical care and a loving home while they try to find a good home for the dog. 

Thank you for being so diligent caring for this dog.  You sound like a terrific person.  Labs are such wanderers.  Hopefully someone will claim the doggie soon.  Good luck!! 

Along with his south of the border pal, Jose.

In the past 15 years, I have worked for no less than 20 (yes 20!) national services.  Some are still around and some have been gobbled up by the giants, but almost all either ran out of work, shorted my paycheck, or just plain sucked (no communication, crappy supervisors, screwing with lines, or just plain dishonest).  I've worked MT and QA.  I've worked for a three hospitals in my time, one of which laid all the MTs off to save money by outsourcing, and two I had to quit my jobs because my husband was in the military and we moved around quite a bit.

In the last year, I've been laid off (from the hospital mentioned above), took a QA hourly position and was fired from that job due to downsizing (code for sending work to India), and as a VR Editor which eventually just turned into MTing.  My last two paychecks were screwed up and I had to fight for my money. 

I am now at the end of my rope in this career and I'm ready to just euthanize my dying career.  I came into this career a wide eyed innocent girl with high hopes of working at home and being my own boss.  I'm leaving a beaten down, used up, cynical woman.  It's like a bitter divorce -- my husband (industry) screwed me over so badly, I won't trust anyone again.

So I've taken an in office secretary job at a hospital and in 90 days, I can take advantage of their tuition reimbursement program and go back to school.  I should be excited, it's all wide open for me, but I all I feel is bitterness at being back at square one after all these years.

So to all you MT newbies or wannabes out there, think twice and then think some more before jumping into this career field.  It's a trap.

brags how much weight she lost?   Obviously Curves does nothing to teach you the proper foods to eat or proper quantities, does it?  Face it, you must have just purchased stock in the company and want new members to join it.  I do not believe a word you say.

Even the man who weighed 550+ pounds and is walking across country which is a lot of exercise, has only lost 50 pounds in 10 weeks.  

You are not losing 5 pounds a week eating a handful of doughnuts and a half a gallon of milk every morning, and stuffing your fat, ugly face with everything else during the rest of the day.

Hypocrite?!

other than her little account update. She will NOT respond to an email (nothing in writing) to any questions at all -- she picks up the phone and calls.  I have sent her several emails with concerns -- NO RESPONSE -- but my phone will ring at home -- I guess I will start recording my phone conversations with her !!!

I have asked for a LONG TIME about my account "going bye bye", and because the work was no longer there. Only this week did she say that it had gone to VR -- she would not put that in writing, or even hint that the account was going by the way, and believe me, I have asked her where the work has gone. When you have been on an account for a long time, an MT knows when the works "dries up." Doesn't she?

So basically, the supe's responsibilities are to email account updates 2 or 3 times a day, beg for the MT to take on ANOTHER new account that she has been handed down to her team (to slow the MT down), beg for the MT to work WHEN SHE NEEDS YOU (not when you were scheduled to work -- because the overseas MT's was not going to work that day and she needs you, or ASR equipment was down), be team cheerleader in an email occasionally when you have made HER look good, take care of the little kids they have at home with them. That pretty well describes the supe on my team.
