Couldn't agree with you more.
Yeah, I complain, too, but basically this is the best job I have ever had and I can't think of too many jobs where I would the freedom that I do now. I am most thankful for this job (even with all the junk that goes with it). Hope everybody has a good day!

Couldn't agree with you more!
I agree with you 100% - Well put!

I couldn't agree with you more!!! (sm)
We better bust our butts while we can to prove ourselves against the looming competition, if you know what I mean.

Well said! I couldn't agree more! (nm)

Couldn't Agree More
I couldn't agree with you more. I posted above stating my views.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Agree 100% and couldn't have said it any better myself.

couldn't agree more with you, Dano - nm

I couldn't agree with you more, they are the worst! nm

I couldn't agree more. Lost my mom 13 years ago sm
this coming August. I miss her the most on Mother's Day.

I agree! My bill was $324.00 for gas heat. I couldn't believe my eyes! NM

couldn't agree more!!!! WHOO HOOO FOR THAT LADY
Exactly!!!!!!! She sounds like a very antisocial person with some serious hang ups. She needs religion!

I would be kind to them, and polite. I couldn't agree with them or encourage their ideas.
I don't hate them, but I know the true God. He says: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, and a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."

I can't go along with a lie on that magnitude, but I can be kind to the person and show them love, hoping to interest them in the one who loves and has forgiven me.

Couldn't you just ask if this is appropriate?

I just had one who couldn't
pronounce the simplest word, like catheter. He does cardiac caths all day every day, and can't even pronounce the simplest terms for his specialty! They shouldn't be able to graduate like that.

Saw my name and couldn't help myself here...

I'm among the 200-odd people who visit every day but don't wanna post because, well, it just doesn't seem right. But, seeing as I saw my name in black and white up on the screen, I just couldn't stop my fingers from typing.

I wicked miss all the jibber jabber, work related and nonwork related. I miss the usual faces, the usual arguments, the good times, the bad times, the times when I swore some people were on the rag...

I too got privately disciplined by the former MTStars staff for my potty mouth, got mean e-mails from people who called me a hick, and got awesome e-mails from some great people out there...and I miss it! All of it! The good, the bad, and the ugly.

We had our little domain name "stolen" a few years ago when we didn't renew it in a timely manner, so I kinda know what it's like. Except ours wasn't a business, just a place where friends and family that we left behind could see what we were up to. The web host kept all our hard work and wouldn't relinquish it because they claimed it was technically theirs...I'm not 100% sure, as I'm not the technical person of the household, but I know that basically we had to start from scratch. You kinda feel violated in a weird way.

I'll keep checking for the "other" MTStars to see if it's back up and running, but for now I'll just hang out here and wait. My personal stuff is all over cyberspace, so I'm not concerned about identity theft or anything like that. Who in Sam Hain would want my life anyway?!

you couldn't pay me enough.
I was offered a job managing an office that sent all the work to the Philippines. I couldn't bring myself to do it. The manager job from the other board (if that's the one you're referring to)sends their work to India. As tough as times are now, I could not bring myself to take jobs away from American MTs even if it meant a decent paying job for me. Still hoping Obama will tax the heck out of these companies that offshore, but not holding my breath.

I couldn't have written it better myself...
Those are exactly my thoughts. Didn't work for Spheris or Medquist, but did work for Heartland before MDI. I am so happy I came to MDI. I am sure they are not perfect, but I think they are better than a lot out there.

I couldn't get it friday either.

You couldn't be more wrong!
Only one poster here, DP, and that's all!!!

I'm not harassing anyone. I'm responding to the posts I'm sick of seeing. They have a right to complain...and so do I. Their complaints are about MQ; mine are about the whiners complaining about MQ. My right as well.

Good for you, if you're happy and a good producer!

I'm not pathetic. I'm tired of hearing it.

What's funny is that you think you know something about ME! You couldn't be more wrong!!!

How funny is that?!! Ask Admin to verify if my IP address is different from "No Whining"!!! ASK!! They'll verify that! I'm NOT the same person at all.

So, in answer to your question, I'll still be DP tomorrow too!! I'll make just as much money, as well.

:) Enjoy yourself!

I couldn't stand it with a

I had a good deal too, free rent, worked at home, vacations to where ever and whenever I wanted, limos and NYC every weekend, could pack up and go back to work at my mom's for 1 or 2 months at a time for my "family" fix. I just couldn't keep doing it. I packed up, came home and last week my GD turned as she walked from my front door to look at me and say, "Bye, Nammy! I Love You!" I got a better deal after all

Oh, I believe you. I just couldn't find it. sm
And I didn't want to believe it. Thank you.

It is, but it couldn't happen to a better guy

I also think there are disgruntled MTs who couldn't cut it,
or didn't live up to their end of the bargain. It goes both ways.

I couldn't imagine.....
...holding the baby while typing. I have 15-month-old twins and THANKFULLY neither gave me that problem. I think if they had I probably would have tried every different toy bar for the bouncy seat or swing until something worked. Something comfy for her to lay against maybe. If nothing works and you can't manage typing and holding her then adjusting your schedule for when your husband is there would be my only thought. Good luck. Mine are giving me CLIMBING issues at the moment, oh brother!!!!!

yeah, you GOT it - I couldn't believe she was..

in all caps.....

Doxielady, you need to get a life! Docs don't think they are kings - that would be GWB and GHB....*lol*

I couldn't disagree more..sm
I've been doing this for 17 years, and I shouldn't have to have a knack for understanding what someone is trying to say just because they are too self-centered to realize they are accomplishing nothing in terms of saving time by talking so poorly and so fast that most people can't even understand what they are trying to say. The whole point of talking is to express thought and communicate. If you aren't going to take the time or make the effort to be understandable, what's the point in even opening your mouth? These doctors have no business sacrificing the efficacy of communication while dictating highly technical medical and legal documents that affect the health and welfare of the patient population. And speaking of rendering excellent care, providing accurate and intelligible documentation of the care that has been provided is part of that so-called excellence. It's part of the service patients are paying for and wouldn't be getting if it were simply left up to these inconsiderate physicians. If I could, I'd slap every one of them up side the head.

No offense, but couldn't you have used
of your own? You could get one from another company, I'm sure, but would it reflect the information you need to know?

For example, if you need orthopedic MTs versus ophthalmologic MTs, asking which is correct in Tenon versus tenon or sub-Tenon verus subtenon would be important and might not be on a test you pull from someone else.

I could be wrong, but I'm wondering if you haven't had to do much testing personally that you wouldn't know what you would want in your own test??

okay, I tried but I couldn't help myself, I have to respond
let me get this straight - you spent 5 years in college, are an engineer and because you can type fast you want to get into a field where you might make 20,000 the first year - but it is rather laughable that you think typing is all that is required here - when most of us who have been doing this for 20-30 years are doing good to make 30-40,000 a year and are afraid that we won't be needed much longer because of computer (as an engineer you surely are familiar with them) technologies such as speech recognition and offshoring to India where the work is cheaper. Now after you finish training - which you will need - a lot of us will already be out of jobs - do you really think this is a viable option for you?

Along the same lines, couldn't you just tell the dr. you
p

I couldn't find it either at first.
Someone else gave me the link. Good luck!

I couldn't be happier for ya.

It couldn't hurt
I get paid by the page. I actually can make more money per hour doing tapes than I can as an MT, it's just unreliable. I've gone almost a month without tapes a few times.

I couldn't see it in the book....
...the instruction book, itself,I find is not user friendly, but I have using their product for 3 weeks now, and I have to say it is slowly becoming my favorite Expander program.... it just was not an immediate favorite... (What page in manual for info on bold?).. Thanks.

THANK YOU!!! Couldn't have defended myself better!
And yes I know it's sad I feel I need to...ahhahah

still couldn't find this, Either having
another of my senior moments, or just too late for me to concentrate. Can't find anything that says word count...uhggggg

wow couldn't you call the police?
there are restrictions all over regarding barking dogs in our state and it doesn't mean just at night. of course i wouldn't want to be enemies with a neighbor who lives that close to me and is ignorant enough to leave the dog barking anyway. that is so awful.

You also couldn't afford a breakdown - sm plz
I am a walking burnout factory... it is so necessary to not be the "yes girl"... take a break at least ONE holiday, ONE weekend and spend it on YOU... You cannot afford a mental meltdown, which will happen at this rate. Take care of you, and the job will continue to flow... everyone needs a break.... as short as it may be, it can still be refreshing if you use a day wisely... just my opinion

You couldn't be more wrong about Dano and I ...
we are indeed 2 different people. I have never met her, have no idea who she is whatsoever.

I was taking a light-hearted approach to all the childishness displayed on this board.

I was addressing Dano. Practice your coloring. School starts back very shortly. Make sure you stay within the lines.

Hahaha

Couldn't think of anything intelligent to say, so you edit?
What a dimwit!

eh? free pc? you couldn't pay me to take one - who knows what software it has on it?! nm

Thanks for sharing. I couldn't even watch it all. nm

I couldn't see it until I visited the site where you got it from.

You are correct. That is way I couldn't work for

work just enough to cover what my husband's check doesn't. I average 10,000 to 12,000 lines a pay period, but I would have taken a steep pay cut.

Well, the first day was the problem that couldn't be solved.
The "try this" took all day, starting at 8 A.M. By 7 P.M., techs finally said we need to send you new computer, we think your hard drive is damaged. I would think Fed Ex would pick up computer at 8 P.M. EST (Tampa)on Wed. My Fed Ex guy has a route that brings him by my street later afternoons typically and I got it today at 4:30 PST (California).
