Gotta laugh HARD at that one! :D
Isn't AAMT in large part responsible for all of us who are making less now than we were in 1975? As I recall, they've been snuggling up pretty close to India, haven't they? Maybe China is the new India....
should've been good laugh not could laugh

okay, now I'm crying (sm)
Thank you so much for sharing that. That is beautiful. I have already posted about missing my children, and long hard weeks away, and wanting to be home. That poem is how I feel some days...
Lynn
Me, too! Now I can't see cause I'm crying! Too funny!
Okay, guys, we all have to go! Michelle and MomMT, its been a very nice pleasure meeting you both!! Really, I had a great time, which does not happen for me often on here!! Thank you, both, and have a GREAT night!! Or a great day tomorrow! I'll cover your backs while you're sleeping...
Then for CRYING OUT LOUD.....
Let HIM worry about this. How and why do you think it's YOUR problem!! They're paying you to transcribe, not to breast feed/babysit them. Learn to pull that monkey off your back and put it on the back where it belongs, would you?????????????????? I swear, this is the last air head post I'm ever going to read or respond to on this ridiculous board. 
Oh, for crying out loud, let it go. nm

Talk about crying wolf
"Keep putting out those fires of MQ discontent, or at least until the big guns with the lawsuits put out MQ for good"
I have to laugh when I hear this, over and over again. How MQ is going down. When? Come on people. They are still hiring people, they still have accounts. They aren't going anywhere. So some MTs have a class action. Anyone can sue these days. Do they deserve it, sure. But I have been hearing about all this for years now and frankly, I am so tired of this old news.
If everyone quits, the will be the ones crying the blues. NM

Yea like type 2 diabetes. Do not come crying to me
x sigh
For crying out loud, it's a job. Don't take it personal.
Lost my dad in October...still crying every day...could use some help (sm)
I just feel like I don't know what to do anymore. I'm 43 and lost my dad (78) back in October. I miss him so much. I still have times every single day when it hits me. A little memory will come back, and I'll just have the punch in the stomach feeling. I'll type something in a report that will remind me of those final weeks and just feel sick. Just now, I was just going along, doing my work, and out of the blue I remembered how he always had to take his pills with yogurt or applesauce, and I could just picture him, and I started crying again. We moved out of my home state 7 years ago, but before that I worked with my dad, just the two of us, for 13 years in his printing business. He would call me nearly every day, still, whenever he had a problem or needed help with a computer issue or something. Sometimes I'd get irritated because after not working on some of the stuff for years, I couldn't really remember some of these things. Now, I'd give anything for one of those phone calls.
Anyway, I normally wouldn't post this kind of thing, and I know there is an Emotions/Depression board, but there is more activity here and I'm feeling like I need some advice from those that have been there. I don't really talk to my husband about it too much. I usually have these times during the day or late at night when I'm alone. I just try to keep it pretty much to myself. Our neighbor lost his wife back in July and he is over here pretty often. He still is having a rough time, and my husband has made comments about how it's probably harder when it's your spouse. In a way, it made me feel like maybe I'm letting this go on too long? I have my dad's pictures by me and I wonder if maybe I shouldn't because they too make me cry. I guess I just don't know. I just know that every day I just miss him so much and have to stop and cry and I don't know if I need to go see somebody, or this is going to get better and pass, or what.
I laughed so hard I was almost crying! nm

I've been crying all morning and can't stop (sm)
what's the matter with these lousy companies. They have poor work and want us to produce a quality document....this job is really sucking anymore!
Oh yes, please. go get your own accounts. This is a newbie for crying out loud
I've run into a lot of people in this field who say, Just go get your own accounts, yet very few do. why?
And: Today you are laughing, tomorrow you wil be crying, believe me...nm

no misunderstanding at all. you want things your way and you run crying to "mom" or authority
I don't really mind your posts, but what you are doing now makes me wonder about your sanity. It's like my kids when they don't get their way. They come crying to me and want me to intervene and they try to cause trouble for the person who won't give in. That's what you are doing. You lost me on this battle Dano.
17 years, my husband's got yours beat, he's STILL crying over the Notebook!

My goodness, there are MQ offices crying for help. Gets transferred out of Amherst to Ohio or one of
the other offices. I will do that if they run me out of work at Amherst. I dont plan to stick around long if that happens.
Boy, you brought back memories. I remember crying too and thinking I'd never get it that first y

anything beats crying children .... particularly from home late at night ...
oy! Those poor kids, not asleep in bed yet, and exhausted mom or dad are tryyyying to catch up with dictation ... imho -- the worst ... though I admit I personally have never had from-the-car-on-the-freeway dictation which I gather beats the band!
Wailing children are so heart wrenching.
No perimenopausal symptoms? Mood swings? Crying? Forgetfulness? Lucky you if so. I started all that

MQ - I gotta tell ya
MQ is okay to work for..I have worked at many inhospital positions and transcription company positions and MQ is no worse than other companies I have worked for..
Gotta see this
Go to TheFreshAirShop.com. This is not a scam.
DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO!! RIGHT ON!
Just gotta say...lol.
I live outside of Madison, so been there done that, lol
Gotta be ham.
We have ham and lots of sides.
you gotta be
kidding! 90??
I just gotta say...
sometimes saying "ain't" just feels good... sort of like letting off a good swear word (fiddlesticks just doesn't do the trick)... when I'm feeling rebelious saying I AIN'T gonna do something feels way more satisfying than saying I'm not going to
gotta ask
Okay, this makes sense. So what about people who live near the poles who have extended hours of darkness? Will they rule Alaska at being high risk? I knew a woman who had lived there in the service and she said she did her gardening at 2 AM because it wasn't dark. They adjusted.
Personally, I work better at night and sleep better during the day. I am sharp at night and can produce way more. I can sleep deeply, restfully during the day but not at night. I seem to be the opposite. I've been this way since I was a kid. Maybe I came out of the womb too late in the day!!!!
gotta tell you this one
My neighbor retired from Magnavox forcefully when they left and went to Mexico. He said there is a law that if a part is missing, they don't have to pay the import tax, so they purposefully ship their items with a knob missing! It really ticked us off this happens. It wasn't this administration that started this whole thing either..I won't get into a politics discussion because everyone's beliefs are their own, but just doing a little research will show it.
I also have an aunt whose husband retired from Ford and she said they got a letter if the company does go under, she will lose her little pension check and all her medical benefits. I've seen these companies go under then suddenly appear again once they've stopped all former benefis, which is a crock IMO. Seems like now it's back to the old way, everybody has to stay in the same house and everybody work just to get by. I don't know how minimum wage people make it.
This has gotta be a put-on, right?
One of us is just yanking everybody else's chain with this 'I am most wonderful and experienced MT but I don't speak it the language' lingo? Come on, are we on Candid Computer?
War of the Worlds -- You gotta see it!!
I just saw it tonight....FABULOUS!! I admit I was skeptical because on Rotten Tomatoes (the website I go to see critics' notes first) it was falling and there's been ups and downs about it...AND because as much as I have always loved Tom Cruise he has really gone off the deep end in my opinion.
However, the movie was fabulous. I remember the old black and white movie too. Tom played his part incredibly; as did the little girl (forget her name); and Tim Robbins, too. Really was something.
Go see it!
Sorry.....gotta say my husband, especially when I see
him throwing ball with my son or reading a book to our little girl.......then 10 minutes later when he's leaving his dirty clothes in the bathroom, I could just kill him.....LOL.
You gotta hear this!

Gotta say I agree with above. I was in the same
position one time. I was in my late 20s, married about 10 years, and my husband showed VERY little interest in my. No "I love you," no kissing, very little sex. I started "talking" to an older man who told me he loved me, etc. Anyway, never went further than talking on the phone, but it's something I regret to this day, almost 20 years later. I feel like I was just as unfaithful as I had slept with this man.
Gotta love that! - nm

gotta agree with this one
he is GORGEOUS !
One more thing you gotta do...
When you've caught your breath, spend a couple more bucks and send a certified letter to the oncologist in question and let him/her know what has happened - someone hired the billing company in question and this part of your pain and suffering was avoidable and after exhausting the usual efforts to clear things, inexcusable on their part. Good luck with the battle on both fronts.
Sorry, gotta disagree with your
theory, but I can see your point. If you read the autopsy report, I can see how someone could stage this child being strangled and beaten to death and how the sexual assault could also be staged. But, there were body fluids found on her that did not match the DNA tests for everyone in the house (and contained no familial markers). So, if the DNA evidence was staged, it would make the situation premeditated which means that her parents would have needed motive to plan and carry out the brutal murder of one of their children in a very high profile way. I hope some day we know the truth too.
you gotta step outside the box a little...sm
twwa=the wound was
twwe or twsw= the wounds were
any rad mt's....gotta question for ya
ok i would like to know on average (of course) how many mammo's and chest x-rays do ya type a day?
so me typing about 30-40 mammos a day and lots and lots of chests...is this normal or what?????
Because I'm just being me, I gotta argue ya ;)
Nuthin' personal... I'm only going on what AAMT BOS tells me to do, because I'm a tool. Page 209 of 2005 AAMT BOS, 2-cm mass, 4-cm lesion, 4-1/4-inch scar, .38-caliber pistol, et cetera.
LMT--I gotta thank you for that question!
I've had this background "static" coming through my earbuds for years now, but just thought it was the quality of the .wav files. When you said your speakers were to blame, (which is where my earbuds are directly plugged into), I plugged them directly into the computer and WOW! That horrible buzzing/static is 100% GONE!
So, thanks for sharing your misery because I would have NEVER thought to blame my crappy speakers!
Gotta agree
at least so far. It definitely takes me longer to edit than it does to type- I assume the drafts will get better over time but I haven't seen much of that yet.
Yep, that is labor also and you gotta know
I am dumb when it comes to computers and such. I would hate to really mess something up to where I could not work. I might have to have some memory removed in order to go to 1.5 but my computer will go to 2. Wonder if I should go for that much? thanks for the advice.
gotta use headphones
I would love to just use my speakers (Harman/Kardon, came with PC but work well) but hubby does nightshift so he sleeps during the day. I used to have a pair of Sony earbuds that worked wonderfully (dogs ate 'em, goodbye $50) but now I use a regular stereo headphone. The sound quality with the earbuds was better but the headphones are more comfortable. The inside of my ears would start to get sore with the earbuds after a few hours.
gotta luv it, hehehehehe NM
