I heard this on a local radio station...something like 30-something% of women polled said they would not or had not married someone that they truly loved because of his last name, so my question is...would any of you NOT marry someone just because you didn't like his last name?

I, for one, don't think I would let that stop me from marrying someone I loved and really wanted to marry.  However, I am already married and don't mind my honey's last name at all!

He did not get to be 500 pounds overnight.  Maybe if he got up to make his own breakfast and actually went to work, he wouldn't be 500 pounds.  I hate to sound judgmental, but my first thought about someone that morbidly obese is that they have some severe mental issues.  It is absolutely ridiculous that he is draining the system and you being on disability.  I would get out and get out fast if I were you.  I would not keep a bite of food in the house and I would refuse to drive him anywhere.  YOU need to go on a "diet" and lose 500 pounds!  I think you could probably do it overnight. 

garbage that QA people have to deal you might understanding where they are coming from.  I don't agree with constant negative feedback.  I do agree if the MT is wrong that corrections should be made and passed along.  I don't believe additional comments need to be made about errors, unless they are repeated errors.  I have had QA people correct things and make snide remarks about how style changes were made months ago and that I had previously received other information, etc.  In every case in which the QA person made such comments I proved her wrong.  I also complained to the MTSO and the person was taken off of QA.

If you are expecting positive feedback, in most cases it isn't going to happen, but I'm a believer that if you tell someone what they are doing wrong, you also need to tell them what they are doing right.

I try to be adult about it, and if I have made a mistake I make a note of it so that I won't do it again, but if I'm corrected for something that I'm not doing wrong I go back to QA with it.   Almost every time QA has come back with you are correct, but and then tell me how they do things or add in a few more cutting remarks I go to the QA manager.

I work in a very particular account and they are frequently changing the way they want things done, but they want them the way they want them, doesn't matter what BOS says, doesn't matter that we are all in agreement that they are incorrect, we have to do them that way.  It may seem nitpicking to the MT that some things are being corrected because they aren't really wrong maybe, but it isn't what the account wants. 

when I have a bunch of work to do at night.  I try to get up and walk through the house, do a simple chore, get something to drink even if just water, helps me.  If I find myself actually falling asleep while typing it is definitely time for bed because then I have to relisten to my entire dictation to make sure it is good.  My DH is always telling me to go to bed at a decent time and get up early and I'll be more productive, which is really true if you are that tired.  With my work if I'm not out of TAT, I pick the easy/short jobs first and leave the longer/more difficult ones until I've had some rest.   While I may still have lots of minutes left, I don't have as many reports and I feel that I have accomplished something. 

If you had to pick just one cake, what would it be?  I love just about any kind of cake, but I have to say honeybun is my all-time favorite.  I think I could eat the whole thing if I tried. 

Any other absolute favorite desserts?  Oatmeal candy has been at the top of my list since childhood.  My mom always made it at Christmas and now I always like to do the same.  Yummy!
