I don't care either way. I'm not passing judgment.

In Reply to: I bet there are a lot of MT's on this board living with significant others (sm) - living in sin
I don't care who's gay or who reads the Bible. I'm not preaching or Bible-thumping, as your dander up implies that I am evidently. I just thought it silly that the other poster said a man married another man so as not to live in sin when the Bible states that homosexuality is a sin. It's not a debate or a judgment call. Stop taking it personally and see the humor in the other post. It's ironic. Geez, make an observation and get an invitation to debate religion. No, thanks!

Regarding judgment...
That's what's wrong with this world. Judgment isn't allowed. When we had judgment, people behaved better. If everyone in that line was truly in need, I'd be the first one to be there to help them. Did you see the cars lined up there? Nice cars, which equals stupid people. If you only had people who were truly so down on their luck that they couldn't put away 3 days worth of canned food and water, there wouldn't have been so many. I'm so sick and tired of this PC crap where you can't make judgment about the stupid behavior of others. I'm willing to help the truly needy, but not the stupid. And believe me, oh compassionate one, they're out there taking advantage of you and your kind every single day.
Use your own judgment.
If you're uncomfortable with the doctor's preventive measures, let him/her know that and hold off on it for now. If Kitty's having trouble in the future, take her back at that time and have whatever you need to have done performed. The vet will certainly offer routine testing, x-rays, even dental work just like "people doctors" do, but if you don't think it's necessary for your pet's overall health and well-being you're still the best judge of that.
MT since 1978, became Veterinary Assistant in August, 2005.
My statement was not a judgment of anyone
Just simply an observation. As for the sad state of health care cost and coverage, I agree with you. As of right now, my husband, myself, and our baby have no insurance because he just changed jobs and we won't get it until April 1. So why is it cheaper for me to go to the ER with the sniffles just because I have no health insurance? I'm still going to get a bill from them!
Medicaid is a different story. And my post had nothing to do with the indigent or health insurance challenged. And again, no judgment stated or implied.
There's the judgment and then there's the collection
Principle is important. Still in California, where a doctor owed me $8200 (and I still paid my subcontractors), the small claims court makes a determination and a judgment, but it is up to you to collect. Sometimes, if the amount is sufficient, you can get a collection agency to do the collecting. In a friend's case where she sued her landlady (the landlady did not want to return a deposit on a house that burned to the ground in a wildfire), after her judgment she sold it to an agency--collected on her principle in getting the judgment and actually got a little money. In my case, the anesthesiologist had four pages of judgments that preceded me, and I let it go. It hurt, but let it go. Check you state's small claims court rules on collection and check to see if the judgment actually shows on her record. That may help you decide. Good luck.
Tell him there is only ONE that is qualified to pass judgment
on you, and he's not the ONE.
passing through -
I say go for it passing through! There are men willing to pay $$$ for MIL* cam ladies! :)
I know what you mean Hayseed. Sometimes I get out and am driving and suddenly remember there is a whole world outisde my apartment! :)
Thanks for passing that on.
passing along a recommendation
My husband learned from an associate of a program called Ewido, that is supposed to beat the pants off all other spyware products. I tried it against others on my system: Spy Sweeper, Spy Bot, and Spy Blaster. Ran all three first and then put Ewido through the paces. Ewido still found 7 more infected areas before it removed them.
You can try the product for free before you purchase it ($30). For anyone who is interested: http://www.ewido.net/en/
I tried to get an MT job but even with passing the test
I had some real problems. I could not keep up with the volume. I had no one to help me with new words or even how to reasearch them. I sent stuff to QA but no one at QA ever told me what I was doing wrong so I ended up making many mistakes over and over again. Even though I had excellent training, I did not know how to run the software the company uesd and many other details. I failed miserably. My best friend however did take an internship and it was at 3 cents per line. It was a very nice MT service owner who basicallyu took her under wing and she learned tons of stuff. The lady worked with her and taught her a bunch of things that I wished I could have learned to stay alive in the field. She also got raises every few months so at the end of ayear and a half she was making 5.5 cents and had great production because she knew the dictators so well. By the time her two yeras is up, she will have the two years experience and be able to choose any job she can. So I guess I wish I could have had a chancd like that. I am still looking for the place that will hire me.
this is merely a passing phase...nm
thx for passing that on--awesome! (nm)

No, just passing on information
I wish I had a way to find out if Needsomeone2listen is following up on these.
It feels like life is passing me by sometimes. All alone here. I
I just joined a gym. Where are MTs who quit the smokes? I just did too! I want to sail into my 50s without knowing what it likes to have chest pain! I have had it with my fat jiggly arms. I'm going to start living cuz if feels like this is the opposite of it.
Oh dear, I vented. Sorry!! Just had to say that to someone! Thanks for being an ear :o)
Passing through may have the wrong place...
I have been there for several months now and never been paid late. The quality of the work I have been assigned is excellent, no ESL and no hassel about working for a line count instead of hours. The benefits are acceptable. I did have one friend who they hired who seemed to have not good luck with their program and she had to quit. Overall I would give them a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 and expect to be with them until something better comes along.
Makes me wonder how the MTs in India are passing.
Do they get *minority* points!?! LOL.
Long time passing..nm
nm
Extremely welcome, Anon. Just passing it on like much came from others. nm

I have several years experience and do okay passing tests....
Sometimes it just feels like I get passed up for jobs because I have no schooling.
Sort of like passing your driving test and knowing. . .
That you'll never have to take it again!
Well, at least until you're 80. 
Yes, I work 80-90 hours a week. I am going to stop because life is passing me by and it has caused
depression. There is no way mentally or physically you can keep up the pace. It is finally getting to me and I now realize there are more important things in life than work. I have been a workaholic all of my life. It started as an escape to a bad marriage but I ended up missing my kids grow up, I've lost friends because I have no time for them, and this is my last chance with an 8-year-old child left at home to get it right and put my family first. It means giving up a lot of "material things" but what do they matter when all you need is the love of your family. I'd never recommend this to anyone. 
You dare question the judgment of the almighty RN! How dare you!
Don't you know that RN's know everything and are the beginning and end all of all that's holy in the medical kingdom!?
But seriously, you have my sympathy, girl. Hang in there.
Kinship care versus foster care/adoption
Having been placed in a position where I now have custody of my 3 YO granddaughter and going through the legal system, I sought an online network of relative caregivers for children. I would encourage you, especially since you are in Georgia, that if you take any children into foster care with the idea of adopting them, there is federal law that requires the state to take certain actions in a specific time frame. When a child is removed from it's bio parent(s), the state is required to investigate any possible relatives who can take the child before foster care is considered, but even before that, reunification with the parents is the priority. Once a child enters the system and is in the system for 15 out of any 22 months, the state is required to find permanent placement for the child.
The problem with this is that there are case workers who may favor a foster family and do not seek out relative care. I have a good friend in Georgia who had to fight all the way to the state level to get custody of her grandson after the child was placed from the hospital into a foster care home with the promise that the foster parents would be allowed to adopt. She has now adopted her grandson, but it was a long, hard battle to get the state to admit their own interests were placed above those of the child and/or family.
If you get a child placed through the state, please make certain there is not a relative who wants that child before you get your hopes up. The courts are now favoring return of children to relatives even after a child has spent years with a foster family who hoped to adopt them.
States get bonus federal funds by complying with the time lines and being able to close the case, so some states place children in foster care because it is easier than trying to locate relatives.
Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but I can't imagine my sweet bella going to someone outside her family.
If it was a clinic, it might have been urgent care, but it was NOT acute care. sm
Acute care refers to work in an acute care setting, a hospital, doing at least History and Physicals, Discharge Summaries, Consultations, Surgery notes, Emergency Department notes, and much more, including GI procedures, Cardiology procedures, Neurological procedures, Pulmonary Function Studies. It goes on and on and it means and acute care hospital setting, not a clinic.
I always figure if they don't care about their dictation, they probably don't care about their

Dont care how many languages you took. Care
x
oh, so if I don't care about my job, I "should" care
you come off as narcissistic.
I dont know. I didnt care then and I dont care now.
Just me
I said he looks like he could take care of me.
i mean that in the sense that i am 5'2" and the REAL MEN I am attracted to are tall and strong and could do things i cannot do. it does not mean i NEED someone to take care of me either. it is just nice to have a natural manly MAN around the house who could when push comes to shove take care of things.
i don't want to hear women's libbers direct me in why i should not need to feel protected as i could do things for myself. of course i can, or if i can't i hire a MAN to do it for me. and the men I hire to do work like painting and electrical work are not effeminate girlie men with hair product and designer jeans.
get off the political soapbox. 
Do you think they really care???
They don't give a rip about their employees-- it's all about the TAT and looking good, and making the big bucks from the clients. When they are out of TAT, they in not within their contract and they lose money. That's why they want to hire so many people. If there is no work, it's OUR problem, not theirs.
I don't think they care too much about...
subscriptions. I just started getting mine free one day and they have just kept coming.I think it is basically an advertising tabloid for coders and HIM people with a slight amount for MT. Lord knows the articles are not worth reading.
I think you do not really care what anyone says, you think you know its the same, so go for it.

I am!!!! :) I don't care what YOU say!!
Get over yourself. LMAO
They don't care
Of course they don't care. But the point is that it hurts everybody in the long run. This might be the last generation of wealthy CEOs because there won't be any more $$ to suck out of this country for much longer. And our government is happy to let them do it because it shares in the spoils. GRRRR!
I could care less. :)
..
LOL...you must be a mom, huh? ;) Take care! NM
I don't even care if (sm)
all they want is 10-15 minutes a day, just don't make me wait 23 hours to get that 10 minutes back!
Or they feed you some cockamamie story about why they can't get their work done, but they wait until two hours before it's due back to tell you!
Or give some newbie a break and have them argue with QA over what they need to correct!
Take care of yourself...
I hope your treatment and recovery are speedy and uneventful.
I don't care what they pay
Just tired of all the problems with platforms and "oh, you logged in 3 min late today", etc.
IS care.............*tsk tsk on you*....nm
/
No, they don't care.....sm
All they want is for the work to be done and returned on time. It's business, and it's a different business than any other. I have had family births, deaths, personal illness, moves, etc., etc., and I don't even tell them. I just manage to get my work down around my problems. It's unfortunate, but they really don't care.
It is not that they don't care but
the company that they are contracting with does not care. That is why there is at times an over hire to cover for these things and then when everyone is up and ready to work the work becomes sparse. It is so hard to balance the amount of work with the number of workers with all the variables that get thrown in, sickness, death, etc. And when the company you contract with penalizes you financially because you don't meet the TAT, we all suffer. I am sure that the company is a little frustrated as they were counting on one thing and it is not happening. Put yourself in their shoes and you will probably understand a little more.
Patti
LOL!!!!!!! I don't care much for him either. We need.....
...one of these little character people that "barfs"!!!!!
Why do we care!?!?
Maybe if they were a little more discreet about it! We don't divulge all the details of our lifestyles, do we? I agree with the above poster! Why do they have to march in parades, shout it at the rooftops and ALWAYS ALWAYS be engaging in public displays of affection. You barely see a straight couple even holding hands these days. It's almost like they are rebelling or saying look at us! We're gay and proud! And I am just so sick of it. Okay, so you're gay? Keep it to yourself - then we really wouldn't care!! We really don't need you to PROVE it!! : )
You too, take care................SM
Well, there was absolutely no way I would've known all that you kindly just shared about your personal life, and from that I took a re-lesson just now......that we don't know who we are typing at....and to be more careful in our approaches to our posts.....and I thank you for that because a lot of times I can be misconstrued in my posts and you're not the first person to think I have attacked them. Hence, this communication with you has been a reminder to me.
I hope things get better for you and your children, and they will, I promise, as time does have a way of healing deep wounds. A gentle hug to you from warm and NOT sunny (at least where I'm at) SE USA!
you don't care, but (sm)
Funny how you say you don't care if anyone agrees with what you have to say or not but yet you jump on others about their opinions in a heartbeat. Why do you come here anyway? It seems obvious to me you get your jollies from trying to stir the pot. Well, enjoy it...you're in the right place. For someone who doesn't care what other people think you sure to like pick apart other posters statements.
I don't care for her either...
She's just riding Oprah's coat tails, IMHO! But, I don't watch the show, so don't guess my opinion really amounts to a hill of beans, does it??? 
I care...no, I really, really do.......
Does anyone really care?
I don't. LOL!
They don't care.
I assumed I would get to work on my prior account and have the new account be secondary. That's what I get for assuming. I'm looking for a side job/new job and going to the food bank today. I worked hard to get off of welfare a decade ago and I'm sliding right back into it.
Because they just don't care
Just had one of those infamous cell phone dictations so gave her every "you know" she said--hey it is verbatim, you know.
Would anyone care to help with
