I agree, too. I'm just so tired of it all, don't have the energy left to argue with 'em any

Will you be tired of it when there is NO job left in the US
The poster above talked about a $950 house payment. Where I live, that's below-market rent on a 1-bdrm. apartment, in a questionable neighborhood. So third-world pay (which may work just FINE in the third world) does NOT cut it in Cali.
I so agree - ESLs once ya get 'em ya really
I happen to be very_good w/accents, also living in a very diverse area (and let's not forget, being an MT am we are also supposed to be excellent listeners)
what I think the OP doesn't get is ALL LANGUAGE commences in the heart - we are all the same - just *hearing* different words for much of what we all talk about on a daily level.....they say the similar things about similar issues ongoing in the world, and, instead of getting ALL freaked out when one *hears* an accent, my suggestion (unsolicited as it is) would be to try to become a better listener.
To the OP, about your hypothetical blurb telling them to *go back to their countries*...guess what? Your relatives came from elsewhere, unless you're native American....and somehow I doubt that you are;
Would you have liked your ancestors to be told similar, holding that same exact thought as you, about they should all go back to their own countries? hmmmmm?
Time to open the brains nice and wide to things that are different but ongoing all over the world 24/7/365....better late than never...I have some great ESL dictators and some not so great, but first and foremost have AMERICAN ANGLO mushmouths who just care less for the most part.....
Have a nice evening....
Tell 'em typing fool, because I tend to agree with you. nm
LOL! You calls 'em as you sees 'em, girl!

I agree. Did poster just get tired of working &

I agree. Iget tired of sifting through them and find myself not looking at all. nm

Love 'em or leave 'em
I don't have a real solution, but I have been known to log off of that account whenever I see this happen. I then try to find work on one of the other accounts to which I am assigned, but there is often no other work available. I conclude that the only choice is love 'em or leave 'em. A private client might be nice, but that brings other headaches.
If U can't beat 'em join 'em
This is NOT the only industry that outsources and you are fooling yourselves if you think that it will stop.
I get tired of daily grind. I get tired of having
horrible dictation/dictators and not able to produce lines, which directly affects my paycheck. I don't mind doing the difficult stuff, and I pretty good at it, but it is stressful and I find it very hard to budget when you never know what your paycheck is going to be. I hate being tied to having earphones on all day. I have children at home (I homeschool and don't have toddlers running around) and my DH works third shift so he is home during the day. I try to work around all this, but can't always. If I had a "desk" job I could be part of conversations at least, but having to have the earphones on you can't do that. I get tired of being sedentary, my feet swell, my shoulders are tired, my elbows hurt, etc.
I stick with it because of my children, and also because I like the flexibility. I don't have to be up at 5:30 to get the kids up and ready for school, I don't have to fight traffic to get to work at 8:00. It is a trade-off. Sounds like you just need a break.
Can't argue with that!
.
Yep, can't argue with that.
.
Not to argue, but have YOU ever been thru this?
Do you know how many times battered woman go to the police for help, only to be told that there's nothing that can be done? That no charges will be filed, because there's no proof? Or the husband gets charged with something but the DA pleads it down to Disturbing the Peace because there's no proof?
She's lived in this situation for far too long now... and unfortunately, the truth is that she just keeps getting smacked around anyway... trust me, if you've been there, you would know what I'm talking about... you take it and take it and take it and there's no end in sight... but at least this way she would know that it was the last and final time... I told you my opinion wouldn't be popular.. but the truth is, she's probably not going to leave just because any of us tell her to... but at least if she formulates a plan like I suggested, it gives her a goal to work toward, it makes it real for her, and she will probably follow thru... otherwise, it's just too easy to stay in the cycle of abuse and forgiveness... trust me on that one... you sit there and think to yourself that you're going to leave because you know you have to... but then you just never do... because no matter how rough it is, at least it's familiar... and getting out really takes a lot of courage to break the cycle.... at least if she has a plan, then she has a goal and a set date to have it be over... with no more excuses or saying "well maybe he'll change" or giving it one last chance... at the end of the month, his chances are over...
we argue all the time
My husband says I don't spend enough time with my family even though I stay home during the day with my kids while he is at work. When he has something in the evening, I get stressed because I have to work while he is off with friends and I'm trying to take care of the kids. I get my work around 6:30 p.m. He doesn't want me to stay up all night doing it to turn around by noon. What is a girl to do?
Go ahead, argue with me on how you all think
Lets see the moral ethics flow.
Paying below poverty... minimum wage is POVERTY, yet, below that.. what a joke.
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.
Also this seems to help energy..
I take a good prenatal vitamin, B150 vitamins, calcium, magnesium& zinc, along with some others, but I think these are the most important and help my energy level. GYN doctor put me on prenatal (going through menopause).Important to eat and not get into junk food, quick grab habit...
for that matter, you could also argue what are any of us needed for...
why have people do anything.
being that I love this profession, I am just disappointed to be in it at this time of transition. if there was even hope the MT can be transitioned to stay in the field it would be great, but so far all I hear are complaints about money, we cost too much, nurses cost too much, everyone costs too much.
personally, although automation is inevitable (being the huge Isaac Asimov fan that I am) robots WILL be taking over manual labor some day, computers will think for us, and again the quote comes to mind 'how will man learn to survive his own insignificance.'
in theory, the electronic chart with chips in our brains should work perfectly; however, have you ever known your PC to work perfectly like say, when there is a storm, or computer hackers take over, or, I could go on...
the transition period is probably where the worst mistakes will happen...
I do agree with you, in theory, anway.
Not to mention, QA does not get pain to argue with MTs
The QA people have a specific job to do also. They do not get paid to exchange e mails with the MTs (imagine how much time that would waste), or to have an ongoing debate with them as mentioned in previous post. You would not want to do that much typing on your job and not get paid for it. They have a TAT to meet just like we do. Mind you, I am not taking up for you QA guys that nitpick at hyphens and punctuation at all, even though you say that's your job. I would say that in more than 30 years, I have only had 2-3 who could/would spend the time to help me become a better MT without unnecessary critism. Yes, I agree, there should be more editors like the one posting here. MTs should think outside the box here and use a decent QA person when you find one as a valuable tool at your disposal.
It is "speed" , of course it gives you energy! nm

I take energy supplements as well
I started taking them to help me lose weight, but I do find that my production increases when I take them. But I end up having a hard time sleeping at night. I also get headaches on the weekends when I don't take them and I'm extremely fatigued without them. If you thought you were tired before you tried the energy drink, wait till you stop it. It'll take about a week to get back to normal. I think the other poster is right - try to get a walk in. You also might want to try shorter shifts - that's what I'm trying now. Work an hour or 2 and take an hour break. It may take longer to get your work in but it's not as mentally exhausting. This job is mentally exhausting. Most people don't realize that.
Just hit Alt+Shift+left arrow on line 1 and it will go to the left margin. Otherwise,
you need to use a numbered list style to do it every time. Each version is different, but you may already have a numbered list style in yours that stays at the left margin. Just assign a keyboard shortcut to that style.
Do not worry the posters below - some people will argue about ANYthing!
Hope your party is a great success! :-)
The days I have energy and no hot flashes.

Seems to help me... Keeps me motivated, energy up... et cetera. NM
:)
I think you'd be wasting your time and energy and
If you're hanging around waiting on work, you're the one deciding to do so.
When you run out of work, go file unemployment if you are working as an employee. Tell them immediately you are filing for unemployment since they are out of work and also looking for another position ... and then go do it.
You can't force companies to provide you with work if they don't have any. I don't think your argument holds any water at all. You're the one sitting around waiting on it.
I see folks churn out crap that I cannot argue for humans

You're just wanting to argue and point out flaws.
Go on and wonder and murmur.
LOL
I'm repeating what my accountant told me. Go argue w/him I guess.
He said find out what you need to make and then multiply that x 3.
I paid at least 30% tax last year, or more. even with my piddly deductions.
B150 is a great energy source...
The only place I can find them around here is Wal-Mart.
Yes....except I'd go for steak, that way I'd have plenty of food and energy

P.S. Channel some energy into agility classes
perhaps! Sounds like a great candidate if he/she can jump and get your sunglasses! Lots of classes for agility in most areas, and lots of fun for dog and owner, not to mention exercise! Woof!
It is because the body burns fat instead of glycogen for energy. sm
Without carbs, there is no insulin spike to store fat as fat in the body, so it goes through it or is burned as energy. The body preferentially burns fat stores since there is no glycogen to burn because there is no consumption of carbs.
Energy drinks. Caffeine and sugar, sm
and all kinds of vitamins. I like the Sobe one. I even drink it in the morning now, instead of coffee.
Staying Focused -Energy Drinks
I am having a huge problem. I cannot seem to find the energy to work all day. This sounds so bad because I sit all day! Seriously though, it feels like I get so bored sitting here at the computer. When I drink some of a Nos energy drink, however, work is so fun, I have tons of energy, and I make a lot of money sitting here. I love this work, but what's the deal? I don't even like consuming caffeine. I got an energy drink the other night to stay up all night and finish some STATs, and now I feel like I can't work without it. It was hard to focus even before I started the caffeine. What is going on here?  Why can't I just get my work done like a normal person?
I take MetaboLife, ephedra free. Love it, lots of energy. nm

My favorite gifts over the years were the homemade ones - congrats for having the energy
Isn't that what causes 'em to sag?
:+
don't let 'em get to you, KB
As we teach our children, ignore it.
you tell 'em
Can you hear me clapping at this end and yelling BRAVO!!! Right on!!!
Has anyone ever died from doing hanging indents? I may be the first. LET ME DO WHAT I NEED TO DO MICROSOFT!!!!! (yes, I'm yelling).
Cut 'em off???

stump 'em
I'll never forget my first day of college when the instructor wrote on the chalkboard -- panhysterosalpingooophorectomy and said "You will know what this means by the end of the day!" This is an easy one for us now, but back then it was like "Yeah, right." This is one of my husband's favorite words to throw at people at parties, etc. -- and he even knows the correct meaning of the term!! I hate when people say stuff like "Where can I find a job like yours, typing at home, I could do that no problem." They think that if they can type, they can do our jobs. I'd like to see 'em try.....heeheehee
CAN'T SHOOT 'EM....LOL.....NM

Sure looks to me like they are in India, in some shape or form....I hope this helps you....good luck, and let us know how it goes.
Tell 'em sister....
Do you see how fast the haters come here to say "big deal." Any one of us can have our own accounts (I have 2 of my own). I make the same as you round about $50.00 an hour. What a relief because I also IC for an online company making 8 cpl (round about $20.00 an hour). We can't sit around and complain; that accomplishes nothing.
BTW, I think 5 cpl for VR is good... In case anyone cares what I think! I just think it would be hard for me to learn the hot keys to make it go faster, but then again maybe I'd be quicker at it (20+ years in the biz).
Just let them drink their Hatorade and be haters all their lives!!!! 
VR funnies - 3 of 'em
Cardiolite stress test which was negative for reversible skin.
HIDA scan negative for cystic duct or common bile duct obstruction with normal feeding of the gallbladder.
Ultrasound of the abdomen demonstrated a fatty liver but no evidence of a dietitian.
It's worth it...Git 'em!
I had one customer who tried to stiff me for some work I performed. I had all the paperwork in order, all the ducks lined up, etc. It was a amount somewhere near $1400.
I didn't go the SCC route at all. I filed a lien against the woman's home for the amount owed, the filing costs, and >>monthly late charges<< that had accrued up to the point of the filing of the lien. Then I waited for about 17 months or so.
When she found out that she couldn't sell her property until the lien was settled, SHE got in contact with me. She "offered" me her personal check (nyet) to settle the debt, but with her track record, I refused and would only take cash at that point in time.
She hemmed and hawed and tried to con me again, but I didn't budge, and the lien stayed put. She finally ponied up the cash, because she had to sell the house, and it couldn't be sold until the lien was satisfied.
I did lose in that deal, however. I forgot about the lien removal filing fee, so I was out $35, but I recovered the majority of the money owed.
You may just want to check out your state's lien laws.

You tell 'em girl!
stay off the porch! Life is what you make it! Only you can make it happen, not the President, not the Pope, and certainly not working for a national. Some say they make boatloads off of a national, but they are hard workers that love to stay chained to the desk with no kids, (as I've seen posted) and no LIFE! Get a grip people! If this gal is thriving, let her thrive. Why call her out for that? Why? She should be able to voice her opinion, and no I am not the poster above, I am a different poster before anyone even starts with that!
Good golly for you Miss Molly - you hit paydirt! Some of us love this profession enough to make it work, and yes ma'am I've gotten my fair share and then some! I am living the good life!
Give 'em the Beatles!
ALL little kids love 'em (seriously!). Give John, Paul, George & Ringo a try!
I love 'em too. I can dream, can't I?
If you hate 'em, verbatim!
xx
Oh yeah!!!!!! Keep 'em comin'!!!!!! nm
