In Reply to: I think I am having a mental breakdown. - Hayseed
I just came inside from doing chores, settled down to my machine here to do another day's work, and have 2 instant messages sitting here from my bosses saying they got my e-mail, know I'm tired, but put 'stats' in my cue that needs to be done up right away.
Either it's a cruel joke or the company really is testing me to see exactly what my breaking point is.
I appreciate the advice and the ears. Thank you for lending me them.

Apparently not
I am personally becoming very sick of it. I think I am done with this company. I have had it to say the least.
Apparently
the "brain" part is still working, if that is all he can think about. Men are a trip.
Apparently not.

Apparently they are (sm)
Any teacher/counselor/whatever who would tell a student that work "used" to be done offshore and makes it sound as if outsourcing is a thing of the past is either deliberately lying to that student or is sadly misinformed.
The part about the quality being so poor that it has to be edited before being returned to the client is accurate, but that hasn't stopped anything.
There are, of course, some jobs that have been brought back to the U.S. but unfortunately, U.S. MTs are now being asked -- make that EXPECTED to work for the same low wages as offshore MTs.
Between outsourcing and VR, I couldn't in good conscience suggest that anybody embark on a career as an MT at this point in time. There was a time when this seemed like a solid career choice - but that time has passed.
Anyone who is considering signing up for an expensive course needs to decide who to believe - someone who's been there and has 0 to gain financially from them...or someone who wants their money.
Apparently
an MT who may or may not be Indian...REALLY defensive if you read the entire thread when just a simple question was asked.
Yep, WAY too defensive and won't let it drop. I'd just laugh and say 'no' if someone asked me if I were in India. This one's practically frothing at the mouth which is kinda weird.
Apparently so!
Having been accused of being blunt, insensitive, racist, etc, I thought I got where she was coming from. And frankly, I don't remember seeing an LOL in her posts, though I admit to not having read all of them. I just think it's silly to slam somebody, then add the LOL. It's like taking a swing at someone, then saying "No hard feelings?"
Live and learn. I've added to the list of posters whose posts I no longer open (it now numbers 2.) Actually, it's kind of fun to read responses to someone's posts without having read the original, and having to guess at the content from the reactions.
Apparently so, since there was no name for that post...my, my...
you certainly are one touchy little thing, eh? I wasn't meaning to reply to you, as obviously you already have all the answers. 
apparently, WE are the stronger sex
Although I do not watch Survivor, from what you describe, the women were stronger than the men, correct?
Face it, women are way stronger than men. Why do ya think we have the babies? Cause the pregnancy alone would KILL a man!
 I love men, though, weakness and all! (Please, I am just kidding, ok!)
Apparently my vision is gone after
looking at a computer monitor all day. There is supposed to be a MQ board with a link to the left??? Would someone have mercy on me and tell me if they see it because I sure don't see it. Thanks!
Why is the MT's fault? Apparently he
is being allowed to do that by his supervisor.
It isn't any MT's fault -- given opportunity, then those who really want the money will make it.
I know that for myself I work my schedule. I do work extra quite a bit of the time -- at the request of my supervisor. They ask me specifically to work more.
Surely, you are not suggestion that I say, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I just can't work any extra. You see, MT Mary Poppins will get huffy because she will think I'm stealing her lines and then I will be called a greedy MT so I should forfeit money to be made for myself because of how SHE feels." ???
If you TRULY think that is reasonable, you are going to be miserable as long as you are in this job.
If I am asked to do more, I will do it as long as I am working in this business. It's NOT unfair to anyone. It is my opportunity to make money. Nothing is unfair about that.
Apparently, they are doing away with that. see link

Apparently. I have some I have had to divide
xxx
Even though this apparently is not the same company that SM
the original poster works for, I recognize my own company in this post, and I agree with what you are saying. Because of something that happened with my primary account a couple of years ago, I also have looked at others but have found no better offer than the deal I have with this company - have even tried out a few. I now know that I need to concentrate on the job I have, rather than looking for another one. I can make my own production somewhat better, as you have, just by my attitude and just dealing with things on a day to day, or, rather, report by report basis and just rolling with the punches. It's the overall picture that counts.
Thanks for your post. I enjoyed reading it, especially after the last few months when there had been a few negative threads, if you remember. :)
Apparently some do, we all have jobs!

Apparently he doesn't
1. Nothing.
2. Nothing else.
apparently not too bright the guy is. He is
also cheap. Making someone drive 5 hours is a tad cheap. He should invested in a flight if you live anywhere near an airport or a train. If you are as old as you say, he certainly was not doing you a favor :) (I am only playing with you). Maybe he was hoping you would keel over on the way.
In all seriousness though, someone like this, his personality will come out in court to be just like he is...a/k/a Archie Bunker though it is my guess that Archie might have been a tad more loveable.
Go get him!
For the network either, apparently.
BTW, I think it sucks that he left his wife and poor little ill baby for his new co-star. Glad it was canceled!!!
Apparently you did not read everything
They are still there. read well into the posting about what's for dinner, and I mean all of it. It is pretty sad when someone has to criticise what someone else is having for dinner and make rude comments about it. Read also down further to the posting about what they perceived to be a low paying job and read what some of the posters have to say about hiring MTs that have children and how unprofessional they are. It is enough to make your blood boil and I agree with the above poster. Negativity breeds negativity. People get defensive when they are being criticised and lash back with words. Just read all of the below carefully, and you will see what you missed.
you need therapy apparently
So you are telling me you don't think I have a great deal of experience because I've done this for 18 years???? I honestly don't know why I am stooping to your level but your nastiness is not warranted on here. How dare you and you know what YES, I have done this for 18 years so that pretty much does MAKE ME AN AUTHORITY!! I would go toe to toe with you ANYDAY! Now get off your soapbox and go harrass some other innocent person. You are exactly the kind of person a supervisor hates to have in their pool of transcriptionists and you are probably mad at me because I am an Editor and you can't cut the mustard as one. I would say you have a bad attitude because some editor at your job probably picks on your work daily. I see US MTs every day who don't even know how to spell English words much less medical ones. So just get off the nurse thing, nobody said she was going to work for your company or taking your job so just get over it. I also never said anywhere in any of my posts that she had the qualifications, I just asked a question......
Apparently, I cannot spell either...lol. NM

Apparently you don't understand what I was saying
there is a big difference between constructive and riding someone. If you sent one IM right behind another behind another to where a Transcriptionist is totally unable to work, that hinders on harassment and it is not allowed in any work place. I love my job and I do get feedback but it is not in a way that weights me down, emails, never onslaught of IMs. One transcriptionist got an apology from the QA person who rode them and even a letter from the manager of the company saying this would not happen anymore and taking immediate action to correct what had been going on. by the way, my QA has never fallen below 98-99. You have just picked something up and ran with it thinking against all QA. Know what you speak of before you speak.
Apparently you don’t understand too well
never called you a crack head, says it sounds the same, there is a difference, sounds like, same as, understand? I am glad people find you inspiring if they want to look at someone losing everything because just couldn’t make a go of it, like I said and will say again sounds like the praise I hear when someone getting off crack, oh well I just screwed up my life and my kids but now I am in recovery so give me a big round of applause and kudos because I am starting over. Your post said you got so down you lost everything and I said I just do not understand how people call that a survivor??? What did you survive? I just think you do what you have to do and unless you are laid up in bed unable to move or get around, then you work and make a living for your family and do not let things stop you in maintaining a home. I just don’t see making a hero out of people who lose homes, jobs, etc by their own hands.
You apparently are not aware of
in this business for 25 years. Used to be able to charge higher rates, but partly because of offshoring, that is no longer possible. Raise your rates, and the work will be sent offshore instead. I see a lot of MTs on this board proclaiming what how much they should get and how much the MTSO should charge, but reality is different. My accounts are all 14 and 15 cpl. I pay my MTs 10, 11 and 12 cpl depending on the account.
Even a hospital MT supervisor told me that their MT department was getting 18 cpl for their MTs to do clinic work for the doctors at the hospital and the doctors decided they didn't want to pay that much and went with a cheaper company rather than paying 18 cpl.
What you say sounds good; but it's not reality.
apparently you've
most of what this person spoke of made little to no sense - i've lost more than one job to outsourcing and it's not a nice thing to have happen to you. I still do not have any idea what this person is talking about - HIPPA??? what???? if someone could explain it to me in English then I would gladly and respectfully reply. Otherwise, I stand by my first post. Call me mean-spirited or whatever you want - but someone from India trying to correct an American problem - that's a joke. Perhaps they should run for President and "fix" everything. But then Americans would have nothing to complain about.
Apparently it is, who knew?
Hi ya!
Haven't been on the board in a few days.
Yes, my friend in CA says that she heard Brooklyn was the new destination to go to according to "Budget Travel" and I have actually ran across tourists looking at maps in the streets of Brooklyn. New York Magazine now lists restaurants in Brooklyn along with the usual ones in Manhattan. I wish it hadn't caught up, real estate for one is out of control here.
Apparently won't work for me. sm
There are several options for it - decrease playback rate, increase playback rate, and set playback rate to normal.
But apparently these aren't options for me, as they are shaded out. This is about as bad as it can be. This will really slow me down and I won't be able to do it. May as well send my pedal back now and forget about it. :{
She apparently knows her stuff
Not to mention, from the sounds of it, she knows the real Sheri. I'm certainly not one to pick up someone else's baton; however, I would be a fool if I dismissed facts presented by well-respected and knowledgeable veterans of the profession.
Apparently your boss is not looking at
the work flow. Next time you are asked, tell your boss that if you could pick and choose you would be doing more work too. The boss needs to handle this, if he/she won't, there is not much you can do.
Apparently? what was your accuracy, what did they tell you?
nm
I am not in India but apparently the
poster that asked you if you were really hit a nerve huh?
apparently, times have changed (sm)
that behavior would be very dangerous today. Even just 10, 20 years ago, the world was much safer than it is now. There's no way my daughter would go off alone like that. I don't blame Natalee's parents, though. The only person or persons to blame is the one or ones who took this girl and saw fit to destroy her. It's their fault, no one elses. In a perfect world, we could let our children go and not worry about them, but unfortunately, ours is not perfect. It's just sad that so many sick people are free to roam among us in society, be it in our country or somewhere else. We should just pray for the family and for Natalee, and for the people responsible for this horrible tragedy. Pray that God will put it in their heart to tell the truth, tell where she is at, so her family can move on. That's what we all need to be doing right now!
Bashers apparently are stupid and
critical people - must not have anything better to do than be bitter. Only people that feel crappy about themselves feel the need to criticize people so they can feel superior. Pffttt.
Apparently the colleges/universities have the
same problem with parenteral interference. It has gotten to be a big issue. So many are trying to control every aspect of the student's life, apparently made worse by the cell phones, unlimited calling, etc.
Apparently what I think that poster meant by what she said
According to the poster herself.
apparently you like the place you work for...
for the most part. Maybe you should contact your supervisor and let her/him know you would be OK with mentoring a less experienced MT, but let them know you don't want someone else's junk to count against your QA score. Good luck! 
yea, read that he apparently crossed...nm
Check out the MQ board - apparently
x
Apparently so...since that what the company that's hiring
says:) Don't get all worked up now...just be humble and accept that you maybe pounced when you should have prodded:)
Apparently your computer programs are
not compatible with the platform you are using. I know the 2 companies I work for are not compatible with Vista.
Apparently you have not read the other boards
where the one you are talking to is the one to blame for loads of hostile postings.
whatever dolfan. touched a nerve apparently.
don't let the truth ruin a perfectly good Sunday. that is if you actually can absorb the truth of my posts which are probably perfectly clear if one is not so angry they can't see straight like you are at this point. go back to dreamland my friend and stay where it's all comfy and cozy and no one disputes your FINAL WORD!!!!(hopefully)
PS: We all state opinions here and not all of us are "liars" or "trolls" because they don't agree with your opinion. Meditate on that.
they have prisons in India, just like we do here - but apparently these companies
feel that Indians are honest people. Then what are the jails and prisons for???
Apparently, this is going to be a live check that comes with a letter.
xx
Nevermind. Apparently, my speaker wire
came loose just a little bit from the computer and it caused this. You would think it would not work at all if that happened. Sorry!
I always considered McAfee inept. AVG apparently is the best, according to some. nm

Apparently you have never heard of the word celibacy.
nm
Apparently you have not read any boards in the last 20 years, sm
or you would know the answer to your question already. 
Inside and out apparently; man had a little baby with (now) ex-wife :-( nm
.
Well I, for one apparently, don't think that's a real good idea.
I definitely don't think you should be checking yourself into a strange motel alone for a week with all that medication on hand, now Oxy, Pherngan and Xanan? You really probably should be under a doctor's supervision, but that's just my opinion. At least you'll be near a hospital. Good luck.
Thanks anyway - It didn't work. Apparently, it might be my headphones. I'm getting new ones
My cats apparently moved my toolbars once -
They apparently jump on the keyboard one night. It took me forever to figure out what to do!
