:)
I LOVE a woman with a great sense of humor! hahahaha!! nm

Love Johnny Depp too. He has a sense of humor and is a great actor.
Love his movies.
Not tacky at all.

And Tacky!
That's why these boards have the worst reputation. It's no secret in the industry. The only thing missing here are F-bombs. Oh--is that hyphenated per the powers that be?
Get a life.
I think it's borderline tacky.
I understand the need to get the message out about where you're registered, but I've never seen anyone put it in an invitation. When me and my group of friends were getting married, we would create a wedding website and put that web address in the invitations. Then on the website, among other things, we would the list places we were registered.
For those who didn't do that, I just called her parents and asked where they were registered.
Just sounds tacky to me!
She was placed in the prone position with her butt cheeks spread apart.
This doctor is always very casual in his style of dictation, but this takes the cake! 
Definitely tacky to send a solicitation
in a holiday card.
It will be deemed as tacky by most invitees.
I would not mention gifts, monetary or otherwise. If someone calls you and asks, then you can tell them about the charity. Period. If they don't wish to donate to that and they give you money, you can donate the money yourself later. If they show up with a blender or something, thank them and donate that to a shelter or something later.
Most people that know you will also know that you are merging two households and have what you need as opposed to newlyweds who are just moving out of their parents' homes and many will likely choose to give a monetary gift anyway.
I feel that by putting any kind of gift request out there, you may alienate those who would like to come celebrate your marriage but simply cannot afford any kind of gift. When you ask for a monetary gift, as in cash or gift card, that forces people's hand. You can find a nice wedding gift somewhere on a sale shelf and spend less than $20 sometimes but if you have to give cash or a gift card, you tend to give more than that so as not to look too cheap. If it's close family/friends, I say they will know to just give money. if it's not, take whatever they offer graciously and either donate it or sell it on Ebay.
i think it is incredibly gross. personal hygiene commercials are just gross anyway.
this one is stupid and gross.
Really tacky on her part - I never discuss salary with anyone but hubby!
She obviously has issues with feeling inferior somehow! What kind of person says, "I make XYZ amount of money" when no one even asks?
Ha ha! But will you start dressing as tacky as Dog and his horrible wife? Yuck! ;)

I'm miserable
My doc says I'm "legally" menopausal now. The hot flashes are horrendous. I can't take HRT because my mother, grandmother, aunt and first cousin all died of breast cancer. Guess I'll just keep sitting outside in the 20 degree weather (until my neighbors who think I've gone insane call the psych squad on me). What a difference a couple of years make -- I remember wearing sweats and covering up in an afghan to transcribe in the middle of summer because the A/C froze me!
that would be miserable!
Good luck to you in keeping them from getting demolished!
Yes - another thin one here - & it's miserable ! .
I have the usual, mid-priced, office chair from Office Depot with the thickest padding I could find within my price range. Felt okay for about a month then, like you, I had to sit on a pillow! My tailbone just felt like I was sitting on bare metal otherwise. Pillows are cheaper than chairs - so that, too, is what I do! I also added a lumbar support attached with Velcro, but normally when transcribing sit more foreword in my chair in order to reach my footpedal & don't get it's benefit (only when not working). I'm not only thin-I'm short in comparison to today's standards - I'm 5'1". What about you?
HAHAHAHA - miserable MT too, eh?..nm
xxxxx
miserable the last month or so?....nm
Between the miserable QA personnel and
physicians who misspell medications, I'm fed up. Not only are we supposed to check the spelling of a medication, even if the physician spells it, but also, if he or she dicates a letter to a patient, we are supposed to confirmt the patient's address; street as well as zip code. This is an absolute waste of my time, as the patient's addresses are not listed in any part of the demographics, but on the patient's CHART, from which the physician is looking at while dictating! I get even more inflamed when I receive an email from QA that ALWAYS include an explanation mark (!) in the opening sentence. I mean, who in the heck do these people think they are? I find them rude, demeaning, not to mention totally unprofessional when they care corresponding. Talk about forgetting one's roots, and how it was for them when they started. The tone of their emails speaks volumes that they are miserable doing their job, but get their jollies off by writing to you like you were a little kid. So if you love pulling rank and demeaning people all day, join the QA Department and be miserable like the rest ofl them. 
ps I am NOW totally miserable
Not "not"
Not happy without being miserable?
I've been coming here for the past 2 years. I am a working MT who has paid my dues and been just as disappointed as all of you here from time to time. But the one thing I can't understand is why SO MANY of you can't seem to be happy if there isn't misery in your life.
Yes, you are warning newbies of the perils of this career. Yes, you are frustrated and want it to improve, want company and comfort...But there is so much toxic waste on this board. If you tell yourselves and each other how miserable it is in this field, you will all remain miserable.
Flame away and call me whatever names you want, but when you lay down tonight, you may just agree that wallowing in so much misery is not the way to live when life is so short. If you hate it, get out. If you aren't sure, don't take what every one says at face value. If you love it, share the love.
I have never seen so much misery in one place among so many people. It's contagious. Please do yourself and all of us a favor and try to find some happy thoughts. You might just find you enjoy yourself, and your career, a lot more.
My ex was wealthy and I was sooo miserable
without going into detail, I will say my health suffered from being with a man whom I sensed did not love me in a deep fashion. That fact cancelled out the 9,000 sq foot home (attached 4 car garage), 2400 cash allowance monthly, the need for me not to work, vacations to exotic places and luxury cruises twice each year, a walk in close the size of my present bedroom. But, you know, I was so lonely. At least with your husband, you will have a man who loves you when you are old. I left that life to nothing, zip, lost my place in MT world after 20 yrs and had to start all over, his attorneys royally screwed me and yes, I was so poor I was hungry, sold all those clothes at second hang consignment shops and begged someone to hire me (MQ at 0.06 cpl). I had dogs so had to buy a home which took every cent I had. Walked out with nothing in the end. I am happy but at 40, that scene is not one a person can go through without subsequent scars.
I am alone now. A fireplace is my company along with two cats. Seven years later, I am at peace finally but I really did let myself down by putting myself through the hell I lived trying to get my life back on track.
The secret to happiness is being thankful for what we have - I say that every day.
I'd say a combination of B and C. House may be miserable, but after
watching all House episodes, he does have a heart, albeit surrounded by iron, lock with no key.
Life is too short to be miserable
I am in this profession because I honestly love the work, and I love being an IC (setting my own work hours, being at home, etc.) I started out working for local doctors at home, then when that situation changed and I had to go to a company, I was blessed that I hit a good one first thing and have never had to experience a bad one. I am telling you all of this to hopefully encourage you. It is possible to be happy in this field, and there are good companies to work for. Life is too short to be stuck in a job where you are yelled at, bullied, and ready to throw in the towel. I hope you either start looking for a different MT job, or start pursuing another career - something that makes you happy.
Unless it is ongoing and to the point you are completely miserable!!

Right! It's pretty obvious who the miserable person is here!
Agree with oncology. Miserable stuff! nm

I think you see the humor
or you wouldn't want to keep communicating with me. I think you love it!
Sense of humor.
I have been in the same situation with doctors not spelling out names, etc. I have just quit a national company and have been wondering what to do next. When I read these postings today, I could not help but laugh. Keep your sense of humor as it helps the rest of us get through our days too.
lol.. thank you for adding humor to my otherwise
nm
you need a sense of humor
Get over your bad self. The woman was having fun with a difficult situation - most psychologists would say that is healthy.
As far as your sour attitude - glad you're not in my church.
People whose English language skills are very poor should not be doing jobs where they have to give "Customer support" or "customer service" to English-speaking customer - period. They need to improve their English skills.
If you went to India, do you think they would give you a job speaking in their dialect? Certainly not. They, and most other countries, will not hire foreigners to do jobs that their own citizens are qualified to do. The U.S. is about the only country that does not protect the jobs of its citizens.
Did you have your sense of humor
!
LOL ! Mustang, here you have your humor...nm
nm
We got that point the first day on the job. People still need a little humor

Specifically the Good Humor
ice creams bars with the chocolate candy surprise inside! Do they still make them? I may have to chase down an ice cream truck. Oh, do they still make THEM? LOL!
*humor* at the expense of one's sexuality &.NM
Because "Jasper" has a sense of humor
And chooses to take this in stride rather than engaging in the usual 'chicken little' antics usually engaged in on these forums, you choose to construe from that that he/she was an inferior employee?
Now I'M laughing...how very presumptious of you!!!
I think we were all kidding! Sarcasm - dark humor...
nm
Good thing you got a sense of humor about it.

Thanks for "getting it." Some people have no sense of humor.
I've tried to be friendly and have a sense of humor,
so I just quit..and went about doing my job figuring they didn't have time to socialize. They seem all business... even my QA person, very cut and dry. I've tried joking with her with not much response. I wasn't sure what was expected of me in that respect.
OMG! HAHA! Do they have a Humor Board? You could lead it! nm
nm
The Good Humor ice cream truck! They still
sell some of the products in the store, but it is nowhere near as good. The vanilla ice cream bars covered with toasted almonds! The half and half popsicles with flavors like rasberry and lime that were SO fruity! The Good Humor man in his white outfit! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It was great! 
Jeesh right back at ya - it was meant for humor! sm
Forgot there is no humor here, but I do keep trying! I'm a frustrated standup comedian, what can I say. LOL!
The point is the post was a JOKE... a little humor!!!
People do that. And complaining about those that post on the message boards -- is that not the pot calling the kettle black since you apparently enjoy this as you have posted multiple times today? Others here are free to speak/read just as you are. You are also free to hit the red X button on the corner of the screen if you are in any way unhappy about what is posted.
glad some people have a sense of humor :D
Thanks guys! I was only being funny and meant no harm
dictation humor - got this from MTSO web site
