Funnier yet

I've had the ones who cut themselves off with the tone of their voice, but funnier yet was one I had years back who was using a voice-activated system. She would start off talking barely loud enough and with each sentence get quieter and quieter until the machine would think she stopped dictating and pause. At that point, she would have outbursts of the worst profanities I've ever heard. Of course at this point I would have my volume all the way up and be blasted out by these. Then, when she'd realize it was recording again, she would start again and get quieter and quieter until it happened again. I had a report full of blanks but if I had typed in the cursing, that I could hear loud and clear. (It certainly would have bumped up my line count!)

I not only remember some of the funnier - sm
mistakes I made in the past, but even with 30 years of experience, I still sometimes come out with a totally side-splitting blooper. When you think back to how long it took (especially learning on-the-job) us to get proficient at MT, WITHOUT all the advantages newbies have now (scores of word-books, software, forums like this one, Google, etc.), it's a wonder we ever stuck with it, and we probably stunk at it for longer than they will. I think this business needs more MTs, not only to thrive, but hopefully to keep more of it in the country. We need all the clout we can get these days. So, YAY, newbies!

Truth is funnier than fiction
ADHD, ah. Good diagnosis, doctor. That is exactly right. Unless it piques my interest I have the attention span of a gnat. Probably explains why the flight patterns of flies is interesting to me. LOL.

I trained with that SPEAR company with the clapping hands. Vomit icon would have been nice, but I was hoping more for an icon that swooshed them all with a bucket of water. Or a button for the "I am not amused people, get on with it icon."

The best part of my class was the instructor came back after a break with some news that apparently upset her, and the class laughed and applauded until they realized she was serious. They really should put an icon for a guy carrying a poster sign so you can fill in your own thoughts..... mine would have read,

RUH ROW - brown nosing gone bad! ahahhahahahaa.
