*If* you read my post before jumping down my throat, you would see that I said I had NO complaints at all with MQ, have been happy there, lot's of work, etc.

Sorry, but I don't need any suggestions from you on what to do with my life, for MQ & my life works for me just fine, if you had read. I was just trying to get you to see how you come across, but I see that is now such a waste in time.  If one ever needed to look in that proverbial mirror......

Do either of you ladies stop to check your posts before you send them?

I'm also happy with my situation with MQ, have not been done wrong, have plenty of work and support from my CSC and 11 yrs under my belt with them.

That said, I know that there are as many MT's not happy with MQ as there are who are happy.

My point is, that you two in particular seem to be getting carried away with your defense of MQ and in doing so, your beginning to sound like a bunch of children, resorting to name calling and blah blah blah's?  What is up with this kind of behavior?

You can clearly state your opinions pro-MQ the same as others can express their anti MQ opinions.  It's a free board to allow anyone to express their opinions...there really is no need for the level you have both slumped to with your posts.

Just reign it in before you make complete fools out of yourselves.  Some of us adults, just sit is amazement of some of these posts, really not necessary to express you opinions with school yard antics.

Administrator, these quotes below are what we are referring to.  Her attitude and language are indefensible.  Please ban her from this board.

From MQLOVER: 

"1.  ….is utterly ridiculous that you find a negative thing to say about everything you read you nasty, nasty lady. "

"2.  Maybe you better wonder about what is for dinner tonight, I am sure you are thinking about that."

"3. Yeah, you make a lot of sense! Stupid.  I find it funny that you think people who enjoy their jobs are immature and have multiple personality disorders. So wake up ugly and go find a shrink."

"4.  You really are stupid.  What I have to say is the only loser here is you, so lose about 50 pounds and come back later."

There are many more examples on record.  Thank you,

The professional MTs who really want to use this site.

kind of help in there. They have one road open. Everything is flooded. There is no airport to land at. Gas is scarce. 90% of the gas that came from that area is no longer functioning. Cars are being stolen from places just to get out. Thugs are shooting at helicopters trying to evacuate critically ill patients. You've got groups of thugs shooting everything up and steeling anything and everything, but they don't realize mostly everything they take will have to be left behind.  Everyone wants help now but it takes time to put together a plan of these proportions. Nobody was prepared for this because they didn't think it would happen. You have people commandering vehicles with guns for their own use that are being brought in to help evacuate. The only boats you see are very small ones because the big ones can't come in and work. The water is not deep enough.

 A lot of people stuck there are making the situation worse for everyone else because they are helping to put off rescues that can happen by shooting at vehicles, shooting at police officers, setting intentional fires just to get the police over to the fire so they don't come chase them for looting or terrorizing others. You have idiots walking around with AK-47s down Canal Street.

Shephard Smith described itbest the other day. Made me think too since I live in Fla. The day after a hurricane you hear chain saws going, you have people cleaning up, you get out there and assess the damage. They could not do that because for them in NO it was not over. The floods were getting worse and rising. There were no people assessing damage, no chain saws cutting down trees, no power trucks checking out downed power lines just because they couldn't get into the city. Everything is blocked. The closest city to them that has power is 90 miles away. That means no gas for them. Yes, they're bringing buses and stuff but it's very slow going. Trying to figure out how to do everything and coordinate everything w/o communication to others is very hard.

One of the guys in the news conferences said yesterday that he spent 18 months at ground zero. They are looking at being in NO much longer because that is much more damage than what he saw at ground zero.

In my old QA days, I found too many errors that were obviously the cause of word Expander errors, things not caught by spellcheck, etc.  I doubt that it really slows you down that much.  I have been doing it that way for so long, it is just second nature and quick to go up and fix something real fast, than wait until the end and hope that spellcheck catches it.

Good luck!

I used to do shift assignments many years ago ... first off, there are times when you have a newbie (or not so newbie)  who will literally take hours to do a few OP reports, when what you need  is TURNOVER, VOLUME, SPEED ..  in those cases, it may make sense for the overall picture to assign someone new (or ailing) some "easy" work to clear out a worktype ... Ditto, I don't have any problem with requesting (and having request granted) to do certain report types or this-not-that when there is a request for extra hours. If you've already put in your shifts doing luck-of-the-draw, spending extra hours doing the dregs feels like punishment ... and if you're doing an unfamiliar worktype on overtime or extra, your reports will  likely be a burden to QA ... net gain lessened.

There are all kinds of cherrypicking possible depending on the configuration of your job -- switching worktypes, switching accounts, taking a "break" are all ways to pass the exhausting and frustrating on to somebody else ... Oh, and no, I make myself NOT do that ... easy though it appears to be for most people to get away with it.

I once had a coworker (whom I liked) who explained that she HAD to cherrypick because otherwise she couldn't reach her line count within her 8 hour workday ...

he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money!  Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood.  With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not? 

thanks.
