Lighten up.

I think you need to lighten up.
They are just having fun and I did see posts where others were rude to them as well. I like to look at things from both angles.
LIGHTEN UP!!
It's not intended for young ones.....it's funny to read, but who really goes to Wal mart and does this??? I think it hilareoud to read!! I would NEVER teach my son this!!
This is the reason I don't like coming onto this site....toooo much b*!ching from people that can't keep their mouth shut! As a student and my teacher telling me to take a look on this site, I am ashamed by the way that you all are acting!!!!
I will tell my teacher that I will never come here again due to this IMATURE actions!
Lighten up. nm

oh lighten up!
Lighten up?
My doctor, I would hope, is a professional and I would not appreciate him talking about me or my body while he is on the phone dictating. Number one he was wrong in doing that and number two, the person who posted the information here was wrong. We are making light of a woman's dilemma about her body. I find it most distasteful and most likely breaking the rules of the hospital where he was dictating from.
LIGHTEN UP!!!
Everybody has an opinion and from the post replies YOUR OUTNUMBERED! I AM proud of my country and what it stands for and I did vote for BUSH! Some people have NO SENSE OF HUMOR!
Take it far too seriously? Oh lighten up!
There goes that one nice moment on MT Stars - somebody has to come a preaching how we need to get over something! Ya think we'll all be able to move on from this? Gee, I sure hope so, too. Thanks for bringing us all back to your reality! You got my vote, sista!
Oh, lighten up and don't be such a

lighten up!
your post was more of a waste of time than the other...
Lighten up a little (nm)

did you see the lol? lighten up.

Oh lighten up, unhappy one
lighten up, I think it's hysterical
It's the family / abdomen part that I'm really cracking up over.
Jeez!!! Lighten up!
She was obviously making a joke. I don't understand you people.
I posted a post below saying I thought trade schools were underrated and were a very viable alternative to a college degree. A poster responded by writing that people who feel that way aren't college material.
Dano objected to the rudeness of that poster, and now everyone is ganging up on her simply because she thinks people should be treated nicely and with respect.
Precisely what IS your problem? 
Oh woman...lighten up .sm
... and get a sense of humor! This board could use more giggles and less crabs.
lighten up - I have gotten a lot of help on these boards (sm)
We're just having a fun day. Are we allowed? I've also noticed that many of the questions that have no answers posted are the ones that have already been asked and answered ad nauseum. Check archives. People get tired of repeating the same things over and over.
Oh Lighten up, it IS funny...
Can't we all just get along?  It's not like Dick Cheney is your dad or anything.... If they didn't set themselves up to be so perfect, it wouldn't be so funny when they are shown for the normal human beings that they are.
Just tryin' to lighten things up! nm

The guy was Russian, Ms. PC. Get off the soapbox and lighten up.
Believe me, the people you so condescendingly "defend" wouldn't defend you if you were getting beaten and robbed before their eyes, as a matter of fact, it would be them doing it.
Keep your "holier than thou" to yourself, as well as your misplaced pity/guilt/anti-Caucasian sentiment.
Geez, people, lighten up!!
That was funny, TechSupport.
To the OP, with the job market being what it is, MTSOs are inundated with resumes when they advertise. Keep at it and if you find a company that you really think sounds like a good fit, keep pinging them with e mail, call them if you can get a phone number, and be really aggressive. The squeaky wheel that stands out is what is going to get their attention.
Good luck.
ASR funny to lighten the mood...sm
Must be the bitter winters. LOL
Allergies/intolerances - sulfa and Minnesota.
Should be sulfa and Minocin. 
geez you guys are bitter. Maybe she's trying to lighten
Maybe she just has a fun personality?
You need to lighten up. This is a public forum. Take the good, leave the bad.

You're turning this lighthearted thread into something entirely too deep. Lighten up.

I am sure she is kidding-it would be sick if it were real. Lighten up let a smile be your umbrella.

Lighten up! I don't see anything wrong with discussing "the Zachary segment" sm
I am a huge AI fan and plan my whole day around the show. Thank Goodness it only comes on twice a week!
"perhaps" poster above is right. Peace and Love will lighten your load. sm
I once worked a summer holiday shift by myself and transcribed something so awful that I tear up when I think about it today. It was the death of a 3-year-old, and I got ALL the 5 dictations regarding the course of this little girl. Give me the "vanity" surgeries on holidays anytime. It is not up to us to make a judgement about who "deserves" treatment, it's just our job to transcribe it correctly. The work you transcribed may have been boring, but that lets your mind drift to loving thoughts about your own family and how you will all be together soon. Like the above poster says, turn your mind to loving thoughts, even for the patient you have prejudged, your heart rate will lower and believe it or not, the day will pass more quickly.
Sheesh. Lighten up. It WAS funny. You don't scan the enitre report, or whatever! It was amusing i
Actually, you don't have to answer that...
While I wouldn't do any of these things I thought it was a total HOOT!! Lighten up you guys. (nm)

Is this a joke?
You are a joke!
I would bet the farm that you are in management or just someone playing on this board, because I know the facts, my dear, and MQ DOES NOT PAY FOR SPACES and lots of other quirks are out there that we do not YET know about.
If you don't think the joke is
Why don't you just head to Walmart now and go buy yourself a new sense of humor - LOL LOL LOL
what a joke
or go to Walmart. The field is now paying close to minimum wage for newbies,really! At 6 cents per line and 100 to 150 lines per hour,it only equals 6 to 9 dollars an hour. That is great pay.......in India!
Joke of the Day
It's a beautiful day in the neighbor. Sun shining, have been outside with my short sleeved scubs, sat on the porch drinking coffee. TAT is 15 minutes, life's good. Check e-mail and my lead thinks so too. She sent this joke and I had to share it...
THE SHORTEST FAIRY TALE EVER TOLD
Once upon a time, a girl asked a guy "Will you marry me?"
The guy said, "NO!"
And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing, drank cocktails, always had a clean house, never had to cook, had sex with whomever she pleased and farted whenever she wanted.
THE END
IT WAS A JOKE!!!
No sore loser here. I could care less.
BOS ... what a joke!
What is most comical to me is that the BOS in one edition says "abc" is correct and in another changes its mind and says "xyz" is correct. My view is they need to keep "making up" stuff in order to keep publushing something to make money!! Now don't get me wrong, some of their information is good information, but, IMO, some is definitely not.
is this a joke or serious??? i can't tell! (nm)
///
it most certainly was not a joke...sm
and did you even open up that post of mine and go to the link I provided with an explanation and a diagram of exactly how to do the Lion Hatha Yoga exercise for TMJ?
Sheesh............incomplete are ye? *rofl*
It has to be a joke. Please tell me it is

What a joke . . .
 Got an offer for a job -- specialty that I just love, but only 5 cents a line? Come on now! I have over 2 years just in this one field of transcription. Plus they expect me to pay for malpractice insurance? Okay 5 cents a line at 100 lines an hour for example -- less than the state minimum wage plus I am supposed to pay for malpractice insurance. Hey -- I'm not the doctor! Doctors are leaving my state because they cannot afford malpractice insurance. Get real.
What a joke
Wow! Liability insurance via AAMT is $700.00 a year! No, this was not a VR editing job. It was typing reports in word as an IC. No way am I even considering it. I do not have 20 years under my belt but I do have a few years of experience and I am worth more than 5 cents a line.
Me neither, must be a joke (sm)
someone is playing, and they probably haven't posted anything yet.
Obviously someone who can't take a joke
Lighten up.
What a joke.................
Only a couple of companies I worked for EVER mentioned BOS. The companies I work for now couldn't care less about the BOS....they think it's a joke. I think so too. Who knighted them the know-all of the transcription world? None of that junk was around when I started, the doctors don't even know what you're talking about if you mention BOS......nuf said!
And I QA their QA - it's a joke! - nm

they are a joke
33 years ago they contacted transcriptionists through the mail at their place of employment, preaching their primary goal was to get us recognized by all and confirmed through pay as professionals; after all, your average gum-popping secretary/receptionist could not do this work without the education adhesed to this field. Compensation was to reflect this.
33 years ago. 3 decades.
The only thing that made my pay reflect any degree of profssionalism was the start-up of production programs (NOT, I might add, created by the AAMT) when I was making 60 - 70k, until the supply and demand changed.
AAMT, however, took in a ton of money in memberships, and changing to ADHI has not shed one ioda of their diligence towards deliquency. Now mighty advocates of outsourcing and soliciting membership outside our borders, you'd think common sense would jump in to keep us from going global - now THERE'S a goal! Oh, but wait...there's no money in that, is there?
What they could and should have done differently was left us alone.
It's a joke
It's a joke. It truly is. I have been editing for many years and my cpl has gone from 9 to 4. I am struggling to pay my bills and they think because you do twice as much you make more. what they DON'T tell you is that there are all these little glitches they use to "ADJUST" your pay and if you don't make production.. yes, production as that is the key word now for what they want you to REALLY do, then you lose more and they have to pay you minimum wage versus what you actually make.. which is 4 cpl now in Escription.
No, it's not a joke...
It's called common sense. Supply and demand. There are only so many OPs to spread among a million MTs. We've already suffered from the over-supply of new MTs in the last 120 years or so due to all of the MT courses available (instead of learning on the job), which has resulted in lower pay. So now you want to do the same with OPs? Call me selfish if you want. But that's the way it is.
It was a joke. Do you REALLY
have no sense of humor? How sad.
