You couldn't be more wrong. Here is the worst thing about posting on a forum...SM
All too often, I have a difficult time expressing myself here because I'm posting quickly in between typing reports. It can truly be difficult if not impossible at times to express yourself when all you have is text. Many times (for me anyway) what I write is taken out of context and misconstrued because on a forum you don't have the benefits of tone of voice, facial expression, and/or body language. That is what has happened here.
If you had the opportunity to meet me, my daughter, and husband, I have no doubt that you would take back such a presumptuous insult.
When I used the word "fear" the meaning I had in mind apparently was not taken in the context it was meant to be. For example, if I don't meet TAT for my supervisor, I would have a fear of being reprimanded, losing my account, etc. Another example: My husband was just promoted to a QA manager over a department of 12. His biggest fear is being late because he no longer has 1/2 hour flex-time to start.
Trust me, my daughter is a very secure, outgoing, happy, content child. Very, very rarely do we even have to raise our voice at her. She's never been grounded and is an honor roll student. She is very responsible and obeys out of love. Her biggest "fear" is knowing she has hurt or disappointed us. Maybe anxious would be the more appropriate word.
When I first posted about some children having to be scared into obedience, from what I have witnessed this is true. Time out doesn't work on every child. My sister has the absolute two worst children I know. She has tried every avenue of discipline and the only way to get their attention is to threaten them with a spanking. So can we agree in this context that the "fear" of a spanking is ultimately what makes them behave??
I'm a wonderful mother and my daughter and I have a very strong bond.
Hopefully I have gotten my point across and CPS won't be stopping in.
Couldn't agree with you more.
Yeah, I complain, too, but basically this is the best job I have ever had and I can't think of too many jobs where I would the freedom that I do now. I am most thankful for this job (even with all the junk that goes with it). Hope everybody has a good day!
Couldn't agree with you more!
I agree with you 100% - Well put!
I couldn't agree with you more!!! (sm)
We better bust our butts while we can to prove ourselves against the looming competition, if you know what I mean.
Well said! I couldn't agree more! (nm)

Couldn't Agree More
I couldn't agree with you more. I posted above stating my views.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Couldn't agree with you more.
Agree 100% and couldn't have said it any better myself.
I agree. Emdat is not the worst (sm)
platform out there. As far as the dictionary issue, that is related to a setting - the wrong dictionary is probably set. Emdat has it's only internal "expander" function (similar to autotext). I too hated it initially but that was just the "newness." Emdat tech support is very good as the other poster stated - you'll always have quick access to that if needed.
couldn't agree more with you, Dano - nm

I couldn't agree more. Lost my mom 13 years ago sm
this coming August. I miss her the most on Mother's Day.
I agree. Worst are native borns who talk very
xxx
I agree! My bill was $324.00 for gas heat. I couldn't believe my eyes! NM
couldn't agree more!!!! WHOO HOOO FOR THAT LADY
Exactly!!!!!!! She sounds like a very antisocial person with some serious hang ups. She needs religion!
I agree... I just found it funny on that account that the 3 worst where in the same field...nm

I would be kind to them, and polite. I couldn't agree with them or encourage their ideas.
I don't hate them, but I know the true God. He says: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, and a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."
I can't go along with a lie on that magnitude, but I can be kind to the person and show them love, hoping to interest them in the one who loves and has forgiven me.
Worst types for me are oncology and ENT. Worst dialect
definitely Arabic, Indian, Pakistani. No problem with Asian though. Of course, warp speed, mush mouth American dictation can be the pits, also.
My MIL is the worst one too.
Her husband ignores her and every night they spend the evening with her in the breezeway watching some movie from 1950 and him watching porno in the living room. He makes perverted remarks at waitresses, comments about the physical attrributes of every woman he sees, has made their 30-year-old daughter's friends his "imaginary girlfriends" (has pictures of himself with just about all of them and even calls some of them "his girlfriend").
Needless to say his wife has no self esteem whatsoever after almost 40 years of this.
However, she puts up with it and never says a word to him about it. Then the nastiness comes out in other ways. She's passive aggressive, mean, angry, frustrated and takes it out on anyone she can, which is why I just keep my distance.
Miserable, dysfunctional people. 
MQ at its worst could never ever
match the underhanded and disgusting way MTs and Editor staff were/are treated at HIS. Colleen is a disgrace and the company is up for sale. Former managers and CEO are suing the place .. give you a clue? Run as fast as you possibly can away from Toledo!!
here's worst!!
whatever the complaint is... the patient will undergo bypass surgery!! 
What is the worst job U have ever had?
Mine was working at Wendy's - ARGH! I was always stuck on fries, and believe me when summer would hit that was NOT a good place to be - I used to come home dripping with sweat, smelling like french fries and burgers and my hair always looked severely deformed and greasy from those stupid caps we had to wear!  I never made the grade as an order-taker, I'm afraid. I used to HATE customers coming in cuz it just meant more work for meeee! 
Worst job. sm
The very worst job I ever had was working in a crab processing plant. Yep, blue crabs.
Now, top that! LOL
Worst Job
Was this school in Texas? I worked for one like that and quit after a couple of months. They would enroll the students, get all of the government money they could and then these people couldn't get a job if they wanted one after graduation. It was hard to even get them internships. I think the school was probably bought out for the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium that is going in - at least it was in the vicinity of that area - you could see The BallPark at Arlington or whatever the name of it is now from the school.
I need a car in the worst way
Anyone know the best place to start? My 1995 Bonneville has almost died on me. The car is in great cosmetic shape, but the new tires, fixing a window that won't roll down and putting a new air compressor (I think) is gonna cost me more than I think the are is worth... so I'm car shopping. I'd like a Maxima, Accord or Camry(a couple to three years old) for a good price but not sure where to get the best deal. Anybody have any recommendations?
Worst Job
Worst job I've ever had was working for a private practice radiologist who was just plain mean and nasty. In addition, he would have me put the new films on the board and clip the old films to the jacket but never even look at them. I figure he was doing this as a protective measure in case he ever got into trouble, etc. that I could vouch for him that those films were made available to him. And this guy was reading for a hospital who did gastric bypasses...reading serial chest films post-op!! I was glad to be out of there.
Those seem like they would be the worst
Whenever I hear stories about abused kids on the news, it takes me DAYS to get them out of my mind and not to dream about it. Completely and utterly heartbreaking.
One of the worst
Look elsewhere, reach archives.
The worst of the worst...sm
Horrible management, 90% ESLs with horrible sound quality, and recieved my last paycheck 3 weeks late with no response as to why. They gave me gray hair.
One of my worst was

Best and Worst
Best thing - You can pretty much choose your own schedule.
Worst thing - You have to deal with taxes yourself (which really isn't all that bad if you know what you should be paying quarterly).
That is the worst!
Living in a state called "Vacationland," people think they can just show up, both unannounced and announced, and use our place as a free resort because "you just work from home, you don't have a set schedule...you can still hang out and play." I don't say anything, because I'm not confrontational, and I live so far away from friends and family I truly do appreciate it when they drive all the way up to visit, but it's really not that easy to work around.
Did you know that TW has the WORST
customer service of any other US company?
Boy, I'm the worst...
On a (good) bad day, I go for a walk, preferably 3 miles. I call it my 30-minute Prozac.
Now, on a (bad) bad day, with a lot of PMS also in the mixture, I'll hit the peanut butter and chocolate. I also find myself yelling a lot.
On a really, really bad day - kids, school, husband, bills, people, job, PMS, I really get toxic. I go for the 6-pack of Samual Adams Light and a pack of cigarettes. Sit out on my porch and act like it's 1985 all over again. I know - I really need to work on my anger technique.
the best and the worst
I used to work at a hospital that at the end of the year had the transcriptionists vote on the 10 best and 10 worst dictators in their system. The 10 best got a bonus, and the 10 worst got a lesson in dictating! The docs really got into it, especially the ones who got the 10 best awards! It was the same ones usually and the other ones actually worked to get in there! And the bad ones, with one or two exceptions, actually didn't know they were bad and worked on trying to improve. It was great!
they never tell ya huh... it's the worst
The doctor I SEE uses this system of EMR, no dictation necessary... and I believe the hospital I work for is looking into it, although we aren't told straight up either. It's frustrating. Should I be looking for another job or not?! I think it's only fair especially when MT is going downhill anyway. The people that absolutely love their job (I DO) but the ones that hate the complaining on this board dont see this big picture. It's not just outsourcing that's taking away our jobs...

It's not just outsourcing that's taking away our jobs... it's technology in general.
I personally don't see how the medical record can be completed if not dictated, but that's just me....
Couldn't you just ask if this is appropriate?

I just had one who couldn't
pronounce the simplest word, like catheter. He does cardiac caths all day every day, and can't even pronounce the simplest terms for his specialty! They shouldn't be able to graduate like that.
Saw my name and couldn't help myself here...
I'm among the 200-odd people who visit every day but don't wanna post because, well, it just doesn't seem right. But, seeing as I saw my name in black and white up on the screen, I just couldn't stop my fingers from typing.
I wicked miss all the jibber jabber, work related and nonwork related. I miss the usual faces, the usual arguments, the good times, the bad times, the times when I swore some people were on the rag...
I too got privately disciplined by the former MTStars staff for my potty mouth, got mean e-mails from people who called me a hick, and got awesome e-mails from some great people out there...and I miss it! All of it! The good, the bad, and the ugly.
We had our little domain name "stolen" a few years ago when we didn't renew it in a timely manner, so I kinda know what it's like. Except ours wasn't a business, just a place where friends and family that we left behind could see what we were up to. The web host kept all our hard work and wouldn't relinquish it because they claimed it was technically theirs...I'm not 100% sure, as I'm not the technical person of the household, but I know that basically we had to start from scratch. You kinda feel violated in a weird way.
I'll keep checking for the "other" MTStars to see if it's back up and running, but for now I'll just hang out here and wait. My personal stuff is all over cyberspace, so I'm not concerned about identity theft or anything like that. Who in Sam Hain would want my life anyway?!
you couldn't pay me enough.
I was offered a job managing an office that sent all the work to the Philippines. I couldn't bring myself to do it. The manager job from the other board (if that's the one you're referring to)sends their work to India. As tough as times are now, I could not bring myself to take jobs away from American MTs even if it meant a decent paying job for me. Still hoping Obama will tax the heck out of these companies that offshore, but not holding my breath.
Softscript is the worst there is
I really had to laugh when I saw this. If you want to continue working for the worst transcription (and I use the term loosely) in the business, stay with SS. HORRIBLE doesn't even scratch the surface. Look at all the posts to yours - do you see anything positive? Didn't think so. Do yourself a favor and take these honest comments to heart. Get out of there as soon as you can and save yourself the "experiences" we've all had.
AT&T is the worst service, but what else do you
expect. It is all handled by those dumb east indians that think they have everyone fooled by making up American names.
Worst for me is anything with Musk in it. It
just starts me off. I have asthma and now lots of things that set that off and my migraines. The barometer only has to be a little abnormal for me to start getting a migraine. However, smells do the same thing though so far I have been lucky and can abort them taking Excedrin Migraine.
One of many worst jobs - !
- was a temp. job at an office where I was filling in for a lady on vacation. But the boss liked me because I could spell, and wanted to hire me in her place, and I guess fire her. (But I already knew I wanted to stay temporary, so I turned it down). Good thing, 'cuz somehow it leaked out to the other people there that I might get hired in place of the original lady. Everyone ate lunch at the same time, in the same lunchroom. Every day when I walked into the lunchroom, all talking would CEASE, and everyone would just stare at me. If looks could've killed, I'd be dead. It really sucked.
