        You can't bank "self-esteem" and if she wants to cut her losses, give it up. - Logic this.

But isn't the need to tear others down also a good indicator of low self-esteem? sm
If the original topic was a question about IQ scores, how is it that when MensaMT responded to the question and shared her IQ score and experience lifting herself up? And how does anyone know anyone else on an anonymous message board without telling things about themselves?

You can't bank "self-esteem" and if she wants to cut her losses, give it up.
Besides that, you take this to any court, small claims for instance, they can award you the money, but the court does not collect it. It's up to you. So you lost time on the work. Then you lose time in small claims but woo-hoo you win. Then prepare to waste more time collecting the debt small claims said is owed you.

What is your time worth. Mine is worth about 25-30 dollars an hour. I don't have the time or money to devote to chasing down a bad debt. I LOSE AGAIN. Self-esteem? I have self-esteem with or without a company not paying me.

Priceless! :)

I hope you don't mind, but I feel an urgent need to copy it and send it to all those who have so graciously *looked out for me* over the last couple of years!!!

Merry Christmas!!

LOL that's priceless!
Yeah, its been my experience in this and other fields that just because someone got a diploma somewhere doesn't necessarily mean they have a brain in their head or any sort of work ethic. You've got to want to keeping learning each and every day - and like it - to be a good MT. That's one thing I love about this job - I have the opportunity to learn just as much as my brain will hold.

PRICELESS !!!! (nm)

Happened to me too, but then a priceless
event happened... one day he was on his way home and dictating while in the car. He got pulled over by a cop!! He was actually arguing about whether or not he had his seat belt on. Loved it! My work was still being reviewed by my supervisor, so she had to listen to the whole tape too. Sometimes we get thrown a little treat.

Those are both priceless!!! Now I'm laughing. nm.
