I was just going to post that same thing!

In Reply to: I agree with you on several points - and the interaction is good for them!
I went to daycare for one day. My mother got so upset with them because they parked me in front of the TV set while all the other kids were outside that we never went back. I was horribly shy as a child, too. I don't know if not being in daycare or preschool had anything to do with it or if it's just my personality. Maybe some kids are just more prone to anxiety and social disorders. I do know that my oldest child, the one who went to daycare the most, is a social butterfly. My youngest child, the one who didn't go to daycare much at all, is the one that sometimes hides behind me or acts shy if we're in a crowded area. I had to "stick around" the school during the first two weeks of kindergarten until he got used to everything. It could be his personality, too, because he's more like me while our oldest is like Dad. The old genetics versus environment debate. LOL I haven't been shy for years now, so I outgrew it.

See my post above about the same thing...
MTSOs do get way more! When the hospital I transcribed looked into it, they wanted 3x what I charged.
Never would post a thing like that...sm
I would never call anybody paranoid. It's not my place to make such a value judgement. Had to be someone else.
Good post but one thing.....sm
you said you'd wait until you become financially secure before getting married so you could then could leave him and be okay $$-wise.
I left after 13 years of marriage and we pretty much had nothing....my sanity being numero uno. The stats are this....that after 5 years of divorce, women are in better shape than men financially and emotionally. That's what I've read and that's how it also happened for me. I was in better shape than him 5 years later. So, don't undercut yourself. We can make it on our own whether we have a man in our life or not!!!! It's an old wives tale from post WWII I do believe that women are not *complete* without a man and that is a total crock of s**t.....in my mind/heart/soul.
I stated the same thing in another post...sm
I am an IC directly for a small rural hospital in a generally rural state. Most of the hospitals in my surrounding area have either inhouse MT or remote MT and the medical records dept manages them. I started inhouse and then have been home for almost 13 years for the same hospital. I have also done part time work for the nationals. I basically get paid about the same, maybe more, without all the headaches of having to go through a national company. I raised my rates 2-3 years ago and the hospital looked into a national company but found I was much, much cheaper and stayed with me. This year, I again raised my rates and they agreed with no questions. Local MT jobs are out there. You just need to hound these people until how beneficial for everyone it would be to hire locally.
See post above about a money thing.
That's all that it is. Promoting someone inexperienced to QA for less money. I miss the days when quality mattered rather than this greedy corporate mentality that seems to rule now.
I was thinking the same thing before reading your post!
One thing I left off in the original post...
is that we are basically wanting to state that we don't want any gifts, but we also know that oftentimes people insist on giving you something anyway and want to know what to give us.
The FUNNY thing is that in the amount of time it takes for them to post a message

Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line. Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with. At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone). At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight. It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat. Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are. You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents?? They sound whacked. Please be careful.
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post
Sorry
The job post has been removed and they are unable to post further.

my post did not all post in the subject, my apologies...
I think you can get the idea.
thanks.
Excellent post! I copied this post and...
am going to show it to my shrink so he can understand my frustration with my new "profession!" By the way, how much you wanna bet he pulls in 300$ an hour and has two years of schooling on me! Hmmmmmmm. Okay, you flamers, don't tell me to go back to school...I am thinking about it. Hmmmm
Because my post was deleted in reference to the above post, sm
Ladies-once again, I apologize for coming across as a witch in the above post. I appreciate the links and the time spent on posting them.
OOPS. Post for magnent post below...nm

Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

what mean post made you post your post
 Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.

A "man" thing? What the heck is a "man thing?"
"I was told it was a "MAN" thing and everyone does it (i guess all men)"
whenever anyone takes an action and relates it to a whole gender and then tags on everyone does it....well, I guess there's your answer
If your post is removed, it is likely because you did not post on
the right board. We only have 9 boards now, so if your post fits in one of those categories, do not post on the Main board or your post will be deleted with no explanation.

Thanks gj...the only thing I can tell you...sm
is that I just worked some overflow stuff and kept looking until I found what I wanted. I am lucky enough not to have to depend on my income right now, so I was able to be much more picky. If you would like more info, let me know and I can email you. Hope all works out well with you and thanks for the good wishes.
one more thing sm
 I was only referring to the bitter ones here who work for MQ, not all MQrs. I am one of the MQrs, ya know! Please get your facts straight before you post a response!

Tell her if she is willing to travel, there are PLENTY of jobs for traveling coders.
I just had to add one thing (sm)
You need to stop thinking you are owed, whatever the situation may be.
Hard work does pay off and if you're working for the wrong people, there are many more out there. I've found a lot of "wrong people" in this business, LOL.
one more thing...sm
I suck at OP notes...does this matter?
YOU ARE SO RIGHT - IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID ALSO!
And I too heard from companies I didn't even know existed!
I was told by a couple of them that they don't post on this board because they received calls and resumes from people who did not read what the positions were for and it was a nightmare. They made requests for no overseas need apply and of course, overseas would call and apply. If it was a certain requirement, say 5+ years experience, newbies would apply. Just things like that.
same thing
This profession is going to hell in a hand basket.
The only thing I have to say is sm
why on earth would anyone stay with ANY company if they are treated so poorly? A good MT still has a whole lot of options. Assuming these complaints about SS, MQ, KS, Spheris, whatever company, are true, why do people continue to work for them?
one more thing
Go you for watching something that is hard to watch and for trying to inform yourself and others, please spread the word, what an idea to get this into schools, but probably will never happen. There are many videos out there that you can purchase for nominal fees and hold private showings for friends and family members, one person tells one person and so on, keep the information flowing!!!!
one more thing (sm)
If you are talking about disability insurance on your mortgage, credit account, etc. be very, very careful when you purchase it. Read the fine print on the contract. A friend of mine is terminal and had disability insurance on a number of her accounts. The one on her second mortgage is still paying. She had one on a credit card and those weasels charged her $15 every month for the insurance fee, paid $16 on the balance of her credit card each month, and then after a year said they were done paying! Read the fine print!!
My dad is going thru the same thing....
From what I was told he is having all checks made out to her estate and not him personally (he is the executor). She had some stocks ($2000-$3000). If the checks were made out to him he has to pay tax on them but if they are made out to my grandmother's estate then she is responsible but since she did not make enough money in 2005 there will be no taxes taken out. I may be wrong but that is my understanding of the situation.
VR may NOT be the Next Big Thing...
MedQuist has been trying for years to push VR on the hospital radiology department I transcribe for and they absolutely REFUSE to use it. MQ was always like "try it, you'll like it" and I believe they did try it one day and that was it. MQ finally gave up. So there is hope for us all yet!
My son did the same thing.
He was in football and really did well. Everyone in the family always talked about how great he was with football. Then he decided to quit one day. I was so disappointed because I knew he could have gotten a college scholarship. It is SO tough to be supportive of someone when you think they're making the wrong choice. My Dad got on my son's case about being a quitter and an underachiever. He really came down hard on him, so I had to defend my son. In defending my son, I changed my own thinking. I realized that although we give birth to these adorable little babies, they are their own person. They're going to do things that we would have done differently. What can you do? You can't impose your will upon them. We all have dreams for our children. However, their dreams are more important than our expectations of them.
My son just did the same thing...
to him and we all had to adjust our schedules to accommodate him and he just quit. This was going to be his senior year on the varsity team. Unfortunately, he did not participate in anything else for his whole high school career, so now he has no activities resume. You can't tell him anything though. He does do extremely well in school and takes several APs as well, but it was disappointing. He was going to try to get an internship with our local hospital, but of course, that never panned out. Now he works about 15 hours a week and hangs out the rest of the time. His attitude is getting really crappy too, but his father won't do a thing about it. He took his car the other night, but gave it back to him the next morning. Yeah...that really taught him a good lesson :(! He has been really frustrating me lately. He is a great kid and when he is good he is the best, but when he isn't, he is just unbearable. He's not into drugs or drinking or partying and is a homebody, so I guess I have no real complaints. Maybe it's me not handling his new "adultness." pheww....that was a vent and a half!
Same thing here
Arizona-- not even in the HOTTEST part. Couldn't stand to live there any more. I am anxiously awaiting fall, too.
