And we were supposed to finish school and work FT (sm)
Posted By: Retired MT on 2006-06-16
In Reply to: Wrong - if you had gone to college you wouldn't be having this conversation. - Bad choices = no options.
after being offered a job making $25/hr. with full benefits and supposedly a future? And now we're supposed to go back to school at 50 y/o because of this govt? Are you with the illuminati or what?
This happens to be 2006. There are many, many people who did not finish school because they were offered jobs that paid quite well. Unfortunately, those jobs are now being given to illegals, etc., remember "the jobs that Americans won't do?"
I won't be going back to school, I made enough money. ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif)

Our daughter's school was supposed to go there too..sm
However, the school switched and went with Texas instead, so we were able to avoid this but I feel bad that they did not share this information with you upfront! Maybe mention to your school that there is a competition in Texas and we are going 3/27 to 4/2/2006 for our high school. You rates are WOW, very good!! Ours are $750 a person but includes the usual rooms, travel and food plus tours and amusement. I sure hope that they are able to give you more information as to when they would make a decision or of they would be open to applying that money toward a different competition for the kids!!
You're supposed to go back to school because of this government???
Maybe you should go back to school because you have higher expectations for yourself instead of blaming the government for the result of your own life choices.
Try assuming some responsibility and try making your life better on your own without blaming someone else.
Such a defeated attitude! Is that the government's fault too?
The government isn't Santa Claus. No one is responsible for our success but ourselves.
Grow up.
POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
That is the way it is supposed to work,
but if the OP is like me, she can't afford for them to find someone else.
I would suggest asking for a raise. The worst that can happen is that they will say no, in which case I would start looking for another job that will pay more. Once found, I would offer a two-week notice. Many of them will not want you to work after that, but if they do, I would work my butt off for two weeks and have extra money for Christmas. Win-win!! ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smirlove2.gif)
How to research a supposed law in California saying I owe taxes for work there even though I live ou
My boss said that a law was passed in California (not a new law apparently, but a law that wasn't "enforced") saying that out of state employees that work for whatever in California have to pay California state taxes? I can see why this would make sense and why it wouldn't. However they just sent me the form, but are now saying they aren't really sure I do have to pay now, but fill it out anyway. Well I don't want money taken out that is mine! Any ideas how to research this with that little information? Thank you!

Well supposed to be working and GUESS WHAT NO WORK AGAIN AT AMHERST MQ. No doubt in my mind that
they could care less about the MT, if you make money or starve. These people are absolutely crazy. There is no doubt in my mind.
No one comes out of MT school ready to work...sm
Students will come out of the top 3 schools ready to work, but will have to work for lower line rates as apprentices. So who do you think the MTSOs will hire?
We won't hire newbies that's for sure. There's way too much training that you have to do with a brand new MT, lower line rate or not. That's the least of our worries as MT's.
Mine are school age and go to rec camp from 8:30 to 4:00. They have fun, and I work.

Best school for becoming an MT and best (honest) companies to work for as an MT
Can anyone give me insight on the best MT school to enroll in and then after completing the course the best companies (most honest companies) to work for? Thanks!
Do you work full time and home school? (nm)

I'm embarassed to even work with you all. Sound like a bunch of grade school delinquents. Grow u
So disrespectful, and just plain embarassing. You get whatever you desire, and based on your "class" on the boards, you all are getting it. I thank God literally that I don't have to share office space with you "women". A priceless blessing.
I did finish the test
I did finish the test, over the weekend. Then Monday had my interview. Then Tuesday was told I got the job if I wanted it. The next day I called and said I'd take it. She said great! I'll have management get with you to arrange delivery of your equipment and everything. I took the job resigned from my job. The she called back 15 minutes later and said I couldn't have the position we discussed. I think its time to get in another line of work possibly. This one can really ruin your self esteem.
didn't finish
I was SO tired last night, tried staying up to watch the entire episode, but couldn't. I know Dr. Jones was in labor and her husband was in surgery from an MVA, but fell asleep after that. Can anybody tell me what happened??!!
To finish the above,,,,,"MONEY"

faux finish
Check out Tatouage on HSN.com or ebay - these are rub-on transfers of different scenes that can be painted over when the time comes. Go on very smooth and look like paint. They are very detailed and look so real, but can be wiped off when necessary without damage. They are great and take a lot less time than painting.
Finish the course. I think there will be a shortage sm
in the future of all medical personnel from MT to MD. Looking at the whole picture, those of us from the baby boomer age are pushing 50 and as families, many of us had 3 or fewer children or none at all. So, in my opinion, that leaves a much smaller volume medical personnel to care for the aging in the future. So, finish that course so you can type my reports when I need them.
Definitely finish with blanks. nm

No way will she finish that course in four months.
Especially with all those kids, she probably won't even finish it at all. It's obvious she's not going to listen to anything you say, so she'll have to learn the hard way.
(If you want to be mean, wait about four months and then ask her for a loan, since she's rolling in the dough!)
I can't think. I mean to finish: wish everyone there was alive and well and the tragedy was just

Want to finish my studies this year - sm
So I can make the kind of living I was used to with less headaches and be able to do some traveling with my work.
Also will be able to buy a bigger house!!!
Ok- so what year did they get the MD after their name? I was told NO they are not until they finish

Thanks for the info...how do you delete their access after they finish? nm

loyal to Hitle, (Finish of above post)
")
bringin it up..you know you're an MT when...you finish your dr's sentence..
s
Do you relisten to your entire reports after you finish each one or how do you
edit your work before you send it in. Do you reread each one. Sometimes I think you can miss a word if you dont but not sure how to edit before sending without making minimum wage.
I leave a blank and finish the report. - (sm)
Sometimes (if I'm lucky), the doctor will say the same word again later in the report, only clearer.
Even if they don't say the word again, often once I've finished the whole report and am proofreading, if I listen to the word a while later, I can then understand it.
The post below that talks about reading the sentence out loud in that accent is also a good idea that sometimes works for me, too.
If the sentence is a fairly common one you might encounter in other similar reports (like in a physical exam, or a hernia operation, etc.), sometimes finding a few samples of those types of reports online can provide an answer, even if it's a different doctor.
If you have the capability to put that report on 'hold', and go on to the next one, that's also helpful, because you might get the same word again in the next report (especially if it's the same doctor), and you might be able to hear it, then. Even if you don't, setting it aside for a while and then going back to re-listen to it is often the most effective way to unravel some of the 'mystery-words'.
I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

Wall painting faux finish techniques sm
Has anyone ever done their walls in a faux finish technique? I have a rather large room inhabited by my husband and the 2 dogs in the evening while I work, a big screen t.v., a beige fireplace, beige and hunter green wood look vinyl tile on the floor and hunter green furniture. One wall is paneled in a pecan paneling as it couldn't be done any other way. This room was an add on to the house. Right now the walls are a gray color but am looking to paint it something different, something that might not show the splotches caused by the dogs shaking their wet fur on occasion and fingerprints around the switches. I found the softly aged walls technique on the HGTV web site were you use 2 colors and a divided roller and divided pan. I kind of like the look and it looks fairly easy for me to do. Anyone have any ideas?
Encouragement for hard times - are you going to finish strong? sm
http://www.maniacworld.com/are-you-going-to-finish-strong.html This is a very encouraging video.
The cost of running a private school or any school is expensive....
Why do you think public schools are so run down and can't find good teachers? Because the government and people to not put forth the effort or $$$$ to improve the educational system.
finish sentence - hard to reference with small writing and is there a CD available nm

Read the report backwards from end to finish. Works great for me.
Did not finish above...need to find a noise canceling headset for a C-phone, TIA
TIA/
To finish...no one obviously feels like typing up, so the night people get the pool garbage. Grrrr.

The School of Hard Knocks is the best MT school
n
Yes, they are supposed to, but
and it is our responsibility to do the VERY best we can with what we are given. I KNOW there are crappy dictators;I do way more than my share 'cause cherrypickers don't get called on the carpet(but that's another story). I don't earn much at this and it stinks, but I just can't believe that you think we do not contribute to patient care and are merely "typists". No wonder we can't get any respect in the form of better pay, etc. Just because the doctors make the big bucks we should do sloppy work? I don't think so. Don't you want your records or your family's to be accurate? I would hope so.
wow! are we supposed to be seeing this?
?
Well, how are they supposed to get the
they don't know where to send them? Considering that a lot of these people are refusing donations of clothing, food, toys, personal necessities, etc., because they just want the money, I'm sure they'll stay put somewhere for two weeks.
What's that supposed to mean? nm

What was it supposed to be?

Well, that's supposed to say 70s up there......

Actually, I would just like them to sit where they are supposed to. sm
Since my kids and breastfeeding, they hang down to my bellybutton so to speak. I would just like them firmed ang tightened back up and sit on my chest where God put them and not hang so much. I even tried standing on my head for 5 minutes at a time 3x day - and that didn't help any!! LOL.
You are actually supposed to be doing that as an IC. SM
You almost must have a commercial line counter. I use Sylcount.
not supposed to put looking for job ads--sm
on the job seekers board...you are supposed to post your resume on the resume site. If you post looking for a job on the job board, they will remove it. just letting you know. That is for company's looking for employees, not employees looking for jobs.
That is supposed to be *Looks*. nm

What is that supposed to mean?

This is supposed to be 0, not whatever that

We are supposed to either have our
e-mail open or be signed in to IM while we are working so we can be contacted quickly. It's very helpful because we can see who is available if we have a question that perhaps another MT can answer or if we have an addendum somebody can pick up, that kind of thing.
If you don't know that MTs are supposed
to be accurate 100% of the time, then why are you doing this to start with? None of us are 100% accurate, however, most companies expect a 98% accuracy rate, some even higher. Either you are not using a spellcheck/grammar check or just being careless.
Editors/QA only check reports that are sent in because of questions unless you are on 100% QA, or if they are assigned to do audits. They are not there to do your job for you.
You are not supposed to ask for help when
