Explaining my occasional bitter-/crankiness

I confess, I am one of those that will occasionally toss a snide comment in. I don't think I have ever gotten to the point of being brutally mean, but I have been snippy. And it may be petty and it may be unnecessary, but, in my case anyway, it stems from a frustration when obvious newbs post a question that at least in my mind seems simplistic (based on the s/l they are able to provide) and should either be a common knowledge type thing or else easily findable. After a day of plodding through ESLs, rapid-fire dictators, or reports that have more chromosome testing than I have chromosomes, I do get a little cranky when someone who probably only makes $50 less a week than I do posts on here asking what 'conjecture hard fail your' might be and respond in a somewhat less than mature way.

Ahem!!
Attention, please! Anyone in the holiday spirit? May be interested in sending a card to poster's nephew on the "Gab Board." Sure she/he would not want the attention but I sure would like to call on us to send a card, at least!
Ahem, worry. Play it by ear.

Ahem, it was God who told David to wage war on
God has always waged war on enemies and done so through human beings.
Everything the military does is in service of the USA. You don't have to like or agree with the reasons as to why the military deployment but every action is in service of this country.
By all means, sit on your tush and do nothing to protect the country from any threat whatsoever. LOL
Then you can be the first to serve under the tyranny that will be rolling down OUR streets in their tanks and blowing up OUR people with their suicide bombers.
LOL
I can see an occasional day but
I know his grades are awful. I don't see any way possible he can pass his grade this way. How long can a school put up with this on a 16/17 year old? I sure would hate for him to drop out because then I'd have to listen to his ruckus 24/7.
I've done it on an occasional hour here and there
When I was working for one MTSO that had a lot of normal templates, I looked forward to the oupatient surgery days because I could get 800-900 lph for up to 3 hours at a time, but could not mantain that consistently. I was able to do about 500-600 lph consistently if I worked the evening or graveyard shift where I could hit a groove. I've been MT'ing for over 15 years and have been using my Expander 10 years. This was an acute care setting and covered 3 hospitals.
I love my vet, the only blood work she does is an occasional - sm
heartworm test, about every 2 years. Only take the dogs (and cat) in for shots, no extra or unnecessary stuff. She is cheap (and good) too, compared to where we used to live. I'd say if there is a hint of a problem, then yeah it should get monitored. But if there is nothing wrong, then why? Once every few years should be adequate I would think for blood work. As for teeth cleaning, I have only done it once with 1 of dogs because she was going to be out anyways getting some teeth pulled, a tumor removed too, so we had her teeth cleaned. As for my other dogs, forget it, that is what Milk Bones and Dentabones are for. I already spend enough on shots for 3 dogs, Frontine, heartworm pills, special dog food for the 1 dog, etc. Some vets do whatever to get more $, others though don't get greedy (country vets) and think of the animal, not on pumping up their bottom line. If you aren't happy with your vet then either tell them you only want the 1 x a year visit, shots only, none of the extra crap, you can say NO, it's your pet. Or find another vet. Though we are in the boonies, we have 2 vets within 2 miles of each other, who are both very reasonable, go into town though and you pay a lot more.
Question about 7-year-old son - occasional vomiting
Please help! :)
My 7-year-old son has had very occasional vomiting that is associated with no other symptoms. This started 5 weeks ago and he has gotten sick a total of 3 times. He vomits one time and he is fine. No fevers, no diarreha and nothing food - specific that I can link this to. This does not occur quickly after eating. Generally, it is an hour or two after eating. He eats and digests his food properly at all other times, so this is confusing me! He saw his doctor 2 weeks ago and was started on a trial of Zantac. I give this to him in the mornings before breakfast. Today, he got sick again (just one time) and he is perfectly normal now. I did contact the doctor and we did go to the hospital for an abdominal x-ray. I am waiting on those results right now and I guess that I am a little confused about this situation! He has never gotten sick like this before. He never even spit-up as an infant. I have never noted any food allergies or intolerances but now I am starting to wonder. Has anyone else had any similar situations like this? Thanks in advance! :)
I have occasional migraine headaches. I can miss a day of work and SM
make it up, no problem. I am glad I work at home during those times.
Love Dictaphone's ExText here, even with its occasional glitches. nm

Don't feel too bad ... one of my dogs reacts similarly to the occasional STRANGE man!
... especially when she was younger and she was our only dog. I'd be walking her in the park and some guy would ask to pet her, and maybe 1/10 men would cause a frenzy of love to come over her. She would throw herself at his feet, practically moaning as he scratched her belly. If I'd have been single this might have been useful, but I'm married! Very embarrassing.
I think she is talking about full QA review not occasional blanks with a new dictator.
As a newbie I was off full QA at the halfway through day 2 working on acute care. However, I had an excellent trainer/mentor available to answer any questions, and I could send unlimited blanks to QA.
Now when I work on a new account, even with a new platform, I am off full QA within a day. If the platform instructions and account specs are clear, it should really not be a problem.
Thank you for explaining! :) (nm)

Thank you for explaining what
Thank you for giving me examples of what feedback can look like. Maybe some day I will find a company that offers me constructive, supportive and respectful feedback. Like I mentioned, I receive no feedback. Just my blanks are filled in or left blank because QA did not know either!
Thank you for explaining *sm*
I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how it works now. Since IT is somewhat expensive, I wanted to understand the basics before the purchase! :)
Also, here is another very basic question...what exactly is a platform? I've heard it mentioned a lot, but haven't figured out exactly what it is.
Thanks!!!
RIGHT! Thanks for explaining that better than I did. nm

It's our governments way of explaining. It's not

okay, thanks for responding/explaining..NM
Thank you, Explaining Ebonics, this all
makes sense and is very logical to me.
Isn't this then also the same problem when we correct VR?
Then we first read the word in the downloaded document, then listen to it, then think what it might be.
So we are confronted with 3 versions, sometimes.
Thanks for explaining commands
Thanks for explaining how I would put a command together. I did purchase Cheryl and Jon's Word Command glossary by periodtocomma and commatoperiod was not in it. So I will be creating a lot of my own commands. If you have anymore commands that are like the one you just explained to me or know where I can from some I would really appreciate it you could tell me where to find them. I am trying to use my keyboard more and not that MOUSE! I need to speed up!!! Thanks
letter explaining that since they have determined
we are 20% more productive with ASR we deserve a 20% pay cut. Do you suppose they are giving the client a 20% break? Yes, it IS the entire company, anyone that does Automated Speech Recognition.
Thank you for explaining, Busybee! I kept seeing people
refer to "the other board" and I had no idea what that was! I was just curious!
Would you mind explaining why you think this is against HIPAA?
xx
I've been getting e-mails explaining it.
Maybe you aren't on company e-mail or you haven't checked it?
Thanks for explaining! Makes more sense

I give once a day if shopping and don't bother explaining if I gave elsewhere. nm

Not bitter one bit. (sm)
Just showing the other side of it. I'm trying to point out an employer can expect a few oddball resumes from people grossly underqualified and even those new to the whole process of presenting oneself in resume-style dossier. In the same way, potential applicants can find that the drummed-up company names and profiles for a job posting at any website, in any newspaper, anywhere can be nothing but an e-mail dress and/or fax number of someone trying to subcontract work they are subcontracting from someone else...or worse.
What is unacceptable is when companies tout themselves as major players in the medical transcription field, or demand certain professional standards from their applicants, but cannot get their act together to perform professional, honest and effective interview/testing/hiring sessions. It just helps MTs to identify the people who lack respect for their time and efforts as an applicant, as those MTs can expect the same after being hired.
Yep. And it is a bitter cup.

Because they are bitter that they can't. lol
oo
Bitter
You certainly are one bitter woman. If you would have read what I said - I DID say I was making 4 cents less a line than I was making 20 years ago. I don't think you can read.
Thank you. I think this is just a bitter person
trying to cause more bitterness. I feel sorry for them.
Actually I did go to college and I'm not bitter at all....sm
Just realistic, as I said. Obviously you've not found the right company - there are out there, believe me. But the previous poster did say it correctly - if you were working in an office with your degree, you couldn't just jump up and run. An MTSO or company has a business to run, too. I schedule my appointments after my working hours - pretty simple it seems to me.
well, now I know why you are a bitter, name-calling person.
nuff said
When I began 15 yrs ago, people were bitter. I

I have posted on this subject, bitter?
Oh, no, I could take now but I am 1 year short of full and it would be crazy to have Uncle Sam taking my money any more than he does know. I got the information up front- I know how much I will be getting when I do take my money, I know how much I get on a retirement account. Not bitter, just smart not to retire before I want to!
I must be a bitter MT..Check out the ad on job seeker's
Obviously Indian-based, but they want to train you to be an MT..check this part out..
Transcription is fun for the right person as it allows you to write and if you love to write, then it is an enjoyable career. Some people who do not like writing because they are not creative still enjoy this medical online profession. Even people who hate writing like this profession because it allows for working at home on a flexible schedule.
OKAY.. what planet are they from..Since when is transcription fun LOL...and I'm sure glad it lets me write whatever I want, because I just love to write..LOL and I get to use my creative ability also to write whatever I like. People who hate MT-ing just do because they hate to write and are not creative LOL. I'm sorry but this just cracked me up. I've thought a lot of things about transcription but FUN was never one of them. Lucky for me though, even though I don't like it, I get to stay at home and have a really flexible schedule..NOT.. lol...
Why so bitter?? Does the truth hurt? nm

What are you? A bitter old school marm? Hahaha
All your "PAY ATTENTION" posts. Hahaha
geez you guys are bitter. Maybe she's trying to lighten
Maybe she just has a fun personality?
And with this awful bitter cold weather
going ballistic on the drivers when they do return!
Why does it seem that all divorced women are so bitter? It is not ALL men that are rats. You just
found one that was.
I'm not bitter. I've been remarried to a wonderful for 13-1/2 yrs.

Your tone sounds 100% whining and bitter.
That's why I call your posts whining and bitter! The other poster stated her case in a mature way, using stats as her back up. No whining, no bitterness. I have not formed an opinion on the AAMT either way to date, but am leaning more pro-AAMT by just the style of postings - those supporting it come off as calm, professional, and mature, while those not supporting it sound emotional, bitter, and whining. Just my opine and reaction to the posts!! Debate much? Its a great skill, and long lost in America...
You're sounding bitter about your cubicle.
Be happy for her, be envious of her (I know I am), but bitter is unbecoming a professional.
you sound just as bitter and defensive, so we're square. nm

who really cares? personable, angry, bitter, just do your work.
I don't really know the purpose of a supervisor so I guess I don't really care what their tone is. I have been through MANY supervisors. I don't really care about their tone. I do my work no matter what they say or do.
You sound like a bitter, jealous, uneducated female.
Sorry, but I've been married to a blue collar man who beat the living crap out of me and destroyed my life in every way he possibly could. Turned my own mother against me, took my kids, laughed when I got cancer.
I am now married to a lawyer who treats me like a queen. It's wonderful to live a stress-free, hate-free existance and my kids and my mom have finally come around so I'm looking forward to a wonderful holiday for the first time in 6 years.
However, I would never say that ALL blue collar men are abusive, drunk, lazy slobs like my ex-husband is. That's generalizing and that's not fair, and certainly not correct.
I also wouldn't say that all corporate executives are perfect men either. That is also generalizing.
You don't sound like a prize yourself with your judgmental nature, dear. Time to take a step back and do some self-evaluation and perhaps get some therapy.
Bitter? I think the recruiter/owner had some valid points. nm

You sure sound like an "angry, hateful, bitter old bigot" in posts above!!
Geez, you're really getting close to the line of sounding bitter.
May I suggest some counseling? The OP asked an innocent question and you took it like a personal attack against you.
I've been a single parent and mind you I know how hard it is to be in that situation, but if someone asks a simple question like "what does your spouse do" most people who don't have a SO at the moment would have moved on to another thread and never given it a second thought.
Seriously, time to do some self-searching.
