I agree, jeez, I can't believe how quick people are to suggest quitting the minute things are bad.

Quick and easy last minute cleaning trick
Clean those vent covers from heaters, etc. the easy way. Put an old towel on the floor or beneath the vent to catch drips. Put hot water and your favorite cleaner (I use Fantastic because it really cuts the grease and grime fast) in a small bowl or pan. Take a medium to large paint brush and brush the cleaning solution over the slats in the ventilator covers. I do a quick brush over the whole thing first, then go back and start at top and work down. It will remove all the grime and gunk. Blot with a towel (real or paper). You do not need to remove the vent cover to do this. No need to rinse unless you use soapy solution.
Bad things? what bad things? people's being petty and small?

wait a minute. not PSN or OP but what "innocent people sob their eyes out"
from a response to something they posted on a board? If there are people who post on boards and expect everyone to go along with them or they cry, they really shouldn't be left unattended and certainly shouldn't have a computer. I am serious here.
I agree...$1 per minute is at the lower range...

What, like most people don't do those things?
I have a low flow shower head and a water conserving toilet. You don't even need to shower or wash your hair daily. Nobody gets that dirty. Take a sponge bath every other day. I had my house weatherized and analyzed for energy efficiency to be sure I wasn't wasting gas or electricity. Then I updated the windows, insulated the house, and installed a new energy efficient furnace. Then there's the on-demand water heaters instead of the ones that run all the time. I have no magazine or newspaper subscriptions because you can find everything you want to read online. I resell, reuse, or donate everything I can. I recycle aluminum, glass, paper, plastic, tin, and any lumber or metal scraps. I avoid styrofoam and CFCs. I work at home so I don't have to commute. I have an electric scooter and a bicycle so I don't have to drive. I have my own organic garden and compost bin. I freeze or can my homegrown fruits and vegetables, then reuse the jars the next year. This reduces the need for tin cans and for semi trucks to transport the cans to my grocery store, too. I even divert rainwater for watering purposes instead of running a hose. Everybody I know of does all of those things and more. We're not treehuggers preaching to everyone else about how we're holier than thou either.
But if people who know things do not post
it on the board, how should TechSupport know that some people already know it?
So she offers her knowledge in a, as she explained it,
rather extensive and elaborate way, so to give all the information and avoid misunderstandings.
End of discussion!
Today is Saturday, my free day, I have to bake a chocolate-cream-cheese cake for my daughter who comes and visits!
Have a nice Saturday evening!
She's not mental, it's just that she's right about many things people can't face up to...
Most of what she says is true. It's been far more documented as fact and the truth than the information the administration has given and still gives.
As far as soldiers.....read optruth.org. There are many soldiers who do not agree with this war or how this administration has handled it and they need to be listened to.
You'd probably be AMAZED at how many people do fall for these things.

I love the way everyone things VR people are the slow ones
I type about 140 wpm and averaged on straight typing over 2000 lines per day. The hospital was outsourced and VR took over. I love VR and why do you assume that only slow typists like? I love it, our system is not crap and now I average above 500 or more lines per hour. Don’t know where people get off talking about the slow ones. You are assuming.
Because the people who manage things in health
My thoughts are, when their bad kharma finally comes back to them, I hope it really hurts. Then they'll know how it feels to be an MT.
QA discrepancy... told 2 different things by 2 different people. How would you handle this?
I am a brand new employee, so don't feel comfortable in this situation. 
TIA
Some people have said things about reliability issues. Others have said there can be problems with

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - animals know things people don't.

Yes, odd. But, have they ruled out other things such as a brain clot? When people die sm
in their sleep, it could be a number of things. Since it just happened, I would imagine they are running multiple tests right now.
If, and this is huge speculation...If he was on drugs before or then, then an MI is definitely possible and not unusual at this age.
why do people want to turn nice things dirty?
I am so sick of people like this that just seem to ruin everything. This is how it all starts!!!! I love that this is a place I could be with my fellow MTs since I work at home. This is like my office!!! I love that our mod is looking out for us. THANKS!!!!
What I think is so sad is that people may give up good jobs to go there to find out these things all
to late. The newbies can learn and use MQ and move on which they do but of course the clients suffer then with all the people learning on them but this is what MQ causes and when they lose clients with poor quality or people that just throw out work then they caused their own problems. You cant keep good MTs with no work I dont care what incentives you offer because they mean nothing with no work ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I wish people would understand that when MQ hires them.
Bless your heart and your sons. Some people just don't know when to NOT mess with things
Sorry you have a goof for an ex, and I hope your son's footie will be ok. Chillie
PS! Also watch out for people who leave things attached to your doorknob -
I'm sitting right here in the front room (drapes usually drawn where I sit), and I not only hear them come up to leave stuff on the door, I ALSO hear them try the knob to see if it's unlocked. Pretty darned creepy how many low-lifes and predators there are out there.....
Those things are not indicative of a hero, RadGuy. People who fought in battle
are hero's. One who puts themselves in harms way to protect another is a hero.
Jeez. . .don't complain about the BO, before you know it
the "stinky people" will file discrimination suits!
"I can't help it if I smell. I have a thyroid problem."
Jeez!!! Lighten up!
She was obviously making a joke. I don't understand you people.
I posted a post below saying I thought trade schools were underrated and were a very viable alternative to a college degree. A poster responded by writing that people who feel that way aren't college material.
Dano objected to the rudeness of that poster, and now everyone is ganging up on her simply because she thinks people should be treated nicely and with respect.
Precisely what IS your problem?
Ah, Jeez Louise, damage control again (sm)
Psychology 101, name calling will get you no where.
Paid by the minute... new to me... does $1.14/minute sound reasonable?

Jeez Louise! I am speechless. What happened to her pro-US stance?
I dont know whether to laugh or cry.
I agree with her 100%. sounds like you dont want to admit QA needs to fix things
No one is saying you are a bad QA person, just that she is getting conflicting results and it should be one standard, not 2 or even 3.
No one is bashing anyone. You are bashing yourself by saying you stink. I have been in this position before and went straight to the QA person and talked about it. They explained to me that sometimes its a preference of style.
Agree completely. I have seen some god-awful things in reports.
Things that are guessed at and sometimes even legitimately looked up and searched for, unfortunately not finding the correct word. I told an MT once, "You can't just type that this patient is on that drug just because it is for the same symptoms. You have to type what the doctor is saying." I couldn't believe it. I have seen some stuff, let me tell you, and 38 cms is the least of it. I had a supervisor ask me once if I was "sure" that ostial was a term used in a cardiac cath and that "osteal" referred to bone. DUH! If I wasn't sure we wouldn't be having this conversation! Then they get clerks to listen. Puuhlease! I'm not even QA and I scratch my head and wonder why people like that are in this business if they aren't in it to do a first-class job. Once I had a team leader route me a report that she had started because she said her "head was stuffy " and she couldn't hear." I couldn't believe the report when I looked at it. Obviously nothing looked up, not even spell checked. My 15-yo could have done a FAR better job. Nobody cares. They are just in it because they think they can still make the "easy money." It's not bad money, but it's not like it used to be. And management thinks we can all be so easily replaced by whoever steps off the bus next. It's very disheartening to me.
Jeez, take your own advice for your husband/dog/kid/house/money problem. nm

my mistake, I was thinking of gross lines. soorrryyy. jeez!

I dont agree with any of the things you are saying here but I moved on so it doesnt matter.

I agree...thank God for people like you..sm
if there is anything I can do to help, email me and I will be glad to contribute, or whatever else is needed. contact Time Warner Cable and see if they will provide a website. I wish you, and the little one of course, all the best.
I do agree, we need QA people, if for no other - sm
reason than sometimes no matter how carefully you proofread, sometimes little mistakes & typos can still slip past, and another set of eyes can catch it before it gets sent out. And of course they're invaluable for newbies, as well. I just wish they didn't have to nitpick about some things. What really irks me is when a word can be spelled more than one way. It never fails that no matter which way I spell it, it gets 'corrected', even though it's already correct. I get really tempted to just type it with a slash in-between:
' xxxxx/xxxxx ' and let them hash it out at their end.
We're also supposed to put a blank and flag it if we're not sure about a word, rather than guess. (Again, the advantage of more than one pair of eyes & ears!) Yet would you believe I have one in particular that gets ticked-off when I flag something? It's like she' rather just sit there and pick her nose and not edit anything at all. Wouldn't that eventually equate to NO JOB? I really don't get it.
Anyway, as you can tell, today I've kinda' HAD it (although putting all those little animated cartoons in my original post DID make me smile & feel better!), and I'm *boycotting* QA. Just gonna' send 'em on through with blanks, and not to QA first for a final going-over. Sometimes I get beyond caring.......
Agree, unfortunately, people are
spreading rumors that this is an offshore site now, and it isn't. There is still no offshore posting of any kind allowed.
I agree-the nerve of some people
I agree also. It is amazing to me that people
say they make $7500 a month or whatever, yet when the conversation turns to the commercial about making $75k a year with baby in lap, everyone balks. It is just not possible. You would have to be making 20 cpgl with extra spaces included-LOL!! I do not believe either. Now if someone said 1300 a month, that I would believe, because that is the truth!!
I agree, people will assume because it's been
just like everything else...you have to look at the fine print. Even cigarettes, which will kill you...only tell you that in teeny little print. Every commercial for some gimmick to lose weight only tells you it really doesn't work way down in teen, tiny print.
AGree, I think that's what people are upset about
but...I don't think people are really looking into it and realizing that it was built out of US and maintained out of US pretty much the whole time...that info just didn't come out until recently. There was a discussion on MTchat yesterday that this site was transferred legally way back when the statement said it was. We may never know what really happened, but it is fairly easy to figure out that their initial statements (previous owners) were not exactly on the up and up.
I agree because I have heard this from many people - sm
Husband as the doctor and wife as the office manager is often a recipe for disaster. I have seen it work a time or two, but more often than not they have this arrangement to save a few bucks and the wife has NO idea about office management, but guess what? Hubby/doc is too busy seeing patients and she runs the show, with often disastrous results. I say run while you can...PLENTY of places looking for qualified medical help with fewer hassles too most likely.
Agree! That was big when my DD was born. People naming

I agree - some people just like to moan/groan..
I would agree. Cleaning toilets up after people every day would SICKEN me.

agree with Patti and can't believe how many people freak over having IC status...sm
just over the taxes. I mean, we're all grown ups here right? Get over it.
I totally agree...how old are we to call other people stupid???
Give me a break...we do not go to school for countless number of years and just because we have to correct a doctor's spelling on certain things, doesn't mean we are smarter than they are...give me a break...if you were expecting to making 75,000 in this field you made the wrong career decision...how about a little bit of respect for a fellow MT...
I agree with Amanda. How many people reading this should be working right now?! nm

I agree, nasty and rude people lately, where are the grownups is correct in a former post.
I agree with all you said. I come here sometimes just to share thoughts, experiences, and to really help others as it helps me to help. There are some unnecessary, hurtful responses on here. The admin cannot police all and she should not be expected to. Have a little consideration, people, we are all in the same lifeboat here. As for leaving the profession, think about it. I have been tempted many times, have tried working in other fields but totally boring after hearing all that I've heard as an MT. I can't read a non-fiction book as it all seems so shallow and ridiculous to me. For too many years I have shared the lives of people on a real, non-fictional basis through my work. It is an interesting and informative profession and even doctors are amazed at how much information I have in this little brain of mine. I have on occasion saved many people in my family (including myself) from unnecessary harm or eary intervention. Please think about it before you leave us. As for this board, I llove it except for the nasty posts, but that's life. As we all know, it takes all kinds. Most people here belong in the helping profession. If they're in it for the money, it shows. Character shows up in the positive posts on here. We are, after all, supposed to be in the helping profession, not the kill or be-killed attitude some have. I would say most of us come in here for knowledge, friendship and just plain sharing. If we have a little laugh once in awhile, it helps, but not when it turns into a cat fight. IMHO, of course! 
I agree. I work for an exceptionally difficult university and those people dictate on cell phones in
trains, in cars, everywhere and they cut out and they just have an exceptional amount of residents dictating on anything imaginable. My blanks are never for words I dont know they are for crappy dictators or those that simply dont know what they are talking about.
quitting
you might want to try a LOA or a few days off while you check out the new job... I thought I had found the PERFECT job in March from the description I got from the recruiter...... After six days on FOUR different accounts (which they expected me to go on production pay after four days!!!!), and then finding out these were not even the accounts I was hired for, I RAN BACK to you-know-where, happy to have the option and not complaining much anymore :)
Has anyone ever gotten something like this when quitting
I quit a national MTSO a little while ago and they just sent me a "termination agreement" with a "release" that they expect me to sign that says: "...you hereby release, for yourself and all people who may act on your behalf, XXXCOMPANY, and its subsidiearies, affiliates, officers, employees and agents from all claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to your employment with XXXCOMPANY, including, but not limited to, any such claims or causes of action arising under any Federal or Sate law, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1965 and 1991 or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended."
Has anyone else ever received anything like this before when they quit? I've worked for 4 different MTSOs and have never gotten anything like this, not even from Medquist (and the company that sent this isn't MQ). I'm not about to sign anything like this, but just wondering why in the world they would feel they need to protect themselves like this and if this is standard procedure?
Quitting MQ
SMART MOVE! i'm just about there myself.
Quitting
Am not a smoker myself, but know people who have tried to quit. I know it's one of the hardest things to do, and I wish you continued success. My brother was an avid smoker for most of his life. He died from lung cancer.
