I'd love to see how supportive you'd be of this person
Posted By: if it was your husband she was messing with on 2005-11-02
In Reply to: Well, I'[m sure she didn't think of that one! - Sheesh - great support!
Because people like this don't make "a mistake," they make a lifetime of messing around in other people's lives and then looking for support and pity before going on to do it again and again.

I'd love to do it, but I can't draw a stick person.
Boy am I ever beat! Time to go to bed. I'll check back later. The dogs and I are just about cashed. Hubby is at work. Time to sleep and dream about the new city............
not about sex, about falling in love with a person's spirit
He can still procreate with any woman, but if he feels urges towards men, well thats nature.
how very supportive of you
I guess you are trying to be funny, but this is not a very helpful post. I also don't get the Bob or Joseph part. Huh?
Do you have any suggestions or advise just giving up, so I don't become as cynical as you are?
How very supportive of you
Maybe this is why you can't find a job. Don't jump all over me, I haven't worked since Sept. so don't come on here blasting me for not feeling sorry for you.
Where has all the work gone, or the majority of it? Answer that question and you may be able to get over feeling sorry for yourself long enough to figure it out.
I guess you have not had the pleasure of calling one of the infamous call centers that have all ouotsourced to India. It is always Bob or Joseph that answers the phone, get it now?
The best way to help is to be supportive by putting
You didn't get pregnant. You sound very self rightous and with I told you so attitude. A decision to carry the pregnancy, terminate it or give up for adoption is not one to be made lightly or out of guilt because someone forced their own opinions down the throat of someone who obviously needs help. Being condescending doesn't bolster her self image to find the courage to live with whatever decision she makes. She needs support, not degradation, not put downs, not made to feel worse than she already does. This is a decision she will live with every day...not one you will have on your mind every day of your life.
Knowledge knows when to speak. Wisdowm knows when to listen.
Thanks for the supportive words - sm
What really is getting to me lately is that I am an IC. Technically I can work whenever I want to work. My plan for the summer was to work early mornings. My kiddos like to sleep in. But, as it turns out, there usually is next to nothing to work on in the early morning. The work builds up throughout the morning and usually is full-blown by late afternoon, so that plan is not working. Looks like my only option is late night transcription, but that won't always work either, as far as availability of work. My "sweet" little guys are sleeping soundly right now and I am starting to breathe normally again!
The tone was not supportive
I am sorry, but the message was completely overbearing and rude. There would have been many more ways to go about giving the message with being so mean about it. Why be rude to someone who is already upset. That just isn't right.
Thank ya'll for the supportive words...sm
it naturally hasn't been easy today - especially getting up this morning and feeding the other cat and dog and knowing that I didn't have to put food in her bowl. My niece came over today and brought a flower for her grave. I have sent in a post for Rainbow Bridge but it hasn't shown up yet. I'm presuming that the owner probably screens post requests?
Yes, and his team members were supportive, which will help. sm
I've been trying to think of where I saw Kelly LeBrock before -- wasn't she the one who did those commercials for the shampoo, saying "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful?" I might be thinking of someone else. I guess I'm showing my age, just by mentioning that commercial ... oops. 
Excellent, supportive comment, Fly. :) nm
......
Just wanted to say "Thanks" for all the supportive posts...
I will let you know how the mammogram turns out. All prayers appreciated!
Your tone makes it very difficult to be supportive. nm

Ya'll have been so supportive and wonderful. Can I be honest? sm
This is absolutely a dream job for me. I was also told yesterday (although I was hesitant to share this info) that they also would like me to write for the company! They gave me a list of topics for the next year (24 of them - 2 per issue) and I can choose whatever topics I feel comfortable with and just write! I'm an avid journaler with a dream all of my life to write a book. So, this whole thing is just blowing me away. I can't believe it.
There are so many writing/freelance writers websites out there with thousands of potential writers and aspiring writers who are dying for a chance like this. I am just humbled.
Talked to hubby last night. He doesn't think I can afford to quit QAing/MTing right now. So, I am going to ask to be very part time and see what they say! I also have to change my schedule around to accommodate this new position.
Thank you, each and every one of you, for your very positive response. You know, I didn't receive one negative response and I am just so surprised! Thanks again.

You have a schedule, what you don't have is a supportive husband..not adivce from me..just sympat

People are supportive in different ways. My style offends, I can see that. SM
All I am trying to say to CS (the original poster) is that her career self-esteem shouldn't be based on passing or failing the CMT exam and definitely career advancement has nothing to do with passing or failing the CMT examination. And nothing the AAMT has to offer is worth the price of admission to their association.
CS needs to have confidence in her skill level without looking for validation from an organization that has invalidated us all by endorsing the outsourcing of American jobs overseas.
She needs to realize her mistake now and not give any more of her money or time to the AAMT.
I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake
Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too. It's a real turn on.
I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.
Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
I went back in house and love it. I love not being
secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.
Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.
BD WONG! I love him! I love all CSI and Law and Orders!
I am so addicted. I actually schedule my job and family around the shows LOL.
Love love love my chair
The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
The one person I know who his doing VR....
isn't filling in words, she's having to reconfigure and restructure to the entire report, to the point it would be much easier and faster to just transcribe it. And over several months' time, it hasn't gotten one iota better. I'll believe the "fill in the word" editing when I see it.
like the person below said------
no friend of medical transcriptionists for one thing
and when I met her my only thought was well that must have been
the personification of Marian the Librarian.
I would have thought she'd have retired to a garden pruning weeds by now and gotten her extremism out of our lives. But no such luck.
This person cannot
do anything unless he has a document that was signed by your daughter indicating that he loaned her money using the motorcycle as collateral. To get this person to leave you alone, you may want to have an attorney give this person a call to pose this question (regarding signed doc). I have had a situation occur, not necessarily like yours, but I needed an attorney to write a letter in order to cease the situation and the attorney only charged my $50. The letter took care of the problem.
This person (Taz) is
a perfect example of what I just stated. This world is going to hell in an elaborately decorated hand basket.
So one person (YOU) is MOST MT's?
I make more than you do anyway and I left MT so LOL yourself and good luck finding a job in 5-10 years when this one goes the way of the mule skinner.
wonder if it's the same person?
From VA?
8:20 a.m. - and I'm an a.m. person!!! nm

QA person here(sm)
I QA by cutting and pasting the error; preferably as much of the sentence as I can so they at least have an idea of what I am correcting and why. I also cut and paste my corrections. I also give them hints on how to research, including links.
I'm not sure that (d) up there sounds very nice. New MTs CAN be taught a great deal, but to have that "edge" on them only scares them more. I've been on both ends, as a beginning MT and as QA. I remember the feedback that helped me most and it was often delivered in a friendly helpful manner, no warning shots, etc.
As the other person said, Go For It!
It was supposed to be a 2 year course at the Community College, but the way that the courses were setup and with working, took me 2 1/2 years. Not bad for an *ol' gal!* Was just very proud of myself because at the time, I had a hunch that some people around me were thinking *she'll never do it,* and I did, with flying colors!! I'm sure you have some support behind you, so you should be good to go!! Anyway, if you don't do it, you'll always be wondering *what if,* so just do it!! Like a friend asked me, "But I'll be 10 years older when I finish?!" My answer, "You'll be 10 years older if you don't." LOL!
I'm not so sure it's that person....sm
It could be anyone of about a hundred malcontents. You cannot *assume* on these boards - only the Administrator and Moderators could verify if it's that poster or not. Personally, I don't care who the posters are in reality. I just think what with all the strife going on in the world EVERYWHERE that people/posters should just be a tad kinder in the life.
Envy is fine - envy is like you're happy for that person but wish you were *there* - whereas jealousy (albeit it might be universal) is very unhealthy and nasty, negative, and people wishing to take other people down notches by posting nasty remarks. Oh well, some people just are more comfortable with the negative and nasty in life (guess their cups are always half empty) - but some of us choose to be positive and not nasty (cups being half full). It's all a matter of choice.
Take care and have fun!!
Go by in person??

QA person from MQ please
Hi I have a friend considering changing compaines and coming in as a QA person. She is on the fence can anyone give me some feedback is MQ QA any good, what and how do they pay...Do they treat you ok? She is in the grass is greener syndrome working at another co. I just left MQ for another field I wasn't happy as an MT. Trying to help out a friend thats all..
QA Person
Thank you so much! I feel so much better having heard from you today. I have had the hyphen battle with this person in QA forever it seems and I have continued to follow as shown in the Book of Style. In my heart of hearts I felt I was correct. I plan to take your much appreciated advice and keep typing it the way I have been. I am so thrilled to know that a person in QA agrees that at times the MT gets mixed signals. Now I do not feel so alone. At times I wonder if some people in QA forget how it was before they were in those shoes. I have 2+ years experience and at times I still feel like a newbie fresh out of school. Just wish some QA would be more tolerant -- especially when the MT really does follow the Book of Style. Thanks again!!! Bless you!!! Wish you were my QA . . . at least you seem like you can still relate to how difficult the MT work can be on the otherside of the fence.
Said something about 6 cpl from a person
whose English was atrocious. This person really should pay someone to hire them.
This person is not looking for *help*. sm
She is looking for employees by asking for help and then sending you an email asking for your resume. something suspicious here.
this person is probably just......
trying to protect his or her own job security, so the company does not get job overhire! I would probably do the same. I found my own really good job after 7 years of searching, and I LOVE IT!
I'd tell her RIGHT NOW that the person isn't
if you are going to continue to proof her work. No sense in dragging it out. If someone is going to make it as an MT, you know that fairly quickly.
Please tell me what a person is doing
when the scope is used. I have seen it and do not know exactly what they are doing. Thanks.
You are not the same person.

Maybe the only person they could get who would - (sm)
"speak for 6 cents a line?"
MT person
Well in 4 hours I did over 1600 lines @.125 per line plus one hour of printing and delivering and that equals over $200 which equals $40 to $50 per hour.
