Idol chat board agrees - Paula was

They're still at version 7 and version 8 is supposed to come out this Fall, which may be compatib
This is why I uploaded the 4.15 version. It's a previous version

Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
I don't get it. Why do you just smile and tell
No offense, but we teach people how to treat us. Your idea of getting a sitter was a good one. After all, if it's just work he needs to do, he should be glad someone will be there to watch the kids. Of course, you know that's not the problem, but it's fun to make HIM admit to it, isn't it?
You've got your work cut out for you.
We all need to smile. sm
I just quit a job. From the first email, I could tell this person was not nice. I tried to make it work, but it didn't, so I'm moving on.
What I don't get is why the attitude? No one is so privileged in this business that they can afford to be nasty. The same way you come up may be the same way you go down, so smile along the way. It shows even in the emails. Smile! Makes the day go by more pleasantly.
I will let a smile be my umbrella when (sm)
more people get out and adopt a pet instead of just talking about it. It is really a problem and the shooting of innocent dogs is sickening.
I just adopted one and did my part. 
Smile all the way to the bank!

Just smile and say "thank you"
I have 2 that make me smile - sm
One is obviously an older ESL gentleman and he always says, "Thank you kindly for typing."
The other is younger and he says, "Thanks for typing this up and have a great day."
I smile, say "I don't have children, thanks." nm
thanks for the smile!! Made by day. (nm)

Makes me smile
This is beside the point, but I have an Asian friend who still refers to herself as Oriental (we're middle aged and that's the term used when we were young). - It is so refreshing to hear her do that, as I think all this politically correct stuff has gotten out of hand. Yes, some terms are just plain rude or cruel, but some of that stuff is just a big deal about nothing. I always smile when she calls herself Oriental. :)
Something to make you smile.
QWERTY ergo sum...I type, therefore I misspell.
I cannot claim the credit for this, but I thought everybody could use a little humor today. 
Here's a wry smile of agreement instead. NM

should be 'found' not 'round' (smile)
no wonder people did not want to go in there with buses -
I never heard this part of the story. If it is true, it would explain a lot.
smile and nod, or offer him a drink and tell him

My Wal-Mart does this too. I just look at the lady and smile.
Once I was stopped and she rummaged through bags saying that I had set off a trigger of some kind. It caught my by surprise. Yes, it is offensive.
and now SadMT can be HappyMT!! *Smile*..nm

Understood. Sending a smile your way for a better day. nm

My 2 cents worth here (smile) ...
It's one thing to have a perspective as an MT, new or experienced, saying that the generalizations from MT Pundit are true or not (and I take his/her comments as generalizations, not true in every situation).
However, when you work with an abundance of both experienced and new MTs, it is very different. You really do see the trends being referred to in this thread.
For everyone who exclaims how adaptable they are but rant on and on, you probably are not as change-friendly as you think and it shows with your exasperated statements.
There are always exceptions to the rule but by and large what Pundit has said seems to be the overall trend in working with large groups of both experienced and new MTs.
I think offshoring has nothing to do with this. It is a separate issue altogether and will happen regardless.
I do think he/she has given excellent advice for those who want to hang onto this profession as long as possible.
It is much easier to go to the eager new MT minds and give instruction or feedback than to go through the arguments and backlash usually resulting from the same situation involving an experienced MT.
Glad I'm out of it!
more than a chuckle, a real smile -
I've been smiling for half an hour now (since you said it was just a line and not an insult). Thanks and have a good day.
i did, made me smile...i sure am pretty ;)

not to worry, haha, we are not at work (smile!) nm

It's a smile. Tilt your head to see it more clearly.. No message..

A big smile and nothing but good news for the first 24 hours.
That's what men like best.
Happy to bring a smile! But if you prefer...
Disenfranchised US Transcriptionists? Which is more catchy, do you think? Disgusted...Disheartened...
A smile does wonders and it doesn't cost a thing. nm
be careful w/that oil - too much can cause problems you probably don't want to have.
If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

all that PLUS, when I started 13 years ago, electric typewriters were still used (smile!) no message

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

sounds silly, I know, but I have no idea how to use the chat. would like to know, however. thanks.
chat
No, how do you go to it?
Chat
 Kept checking the chat room from about 7:00 till 8:00. Some one finally showed up, just the two of us. We had a nice chat. Hope some one else picks a time and more can make it. Hope to see more of you there next time.
Chat
 May be that was it. Of course, your're never gonna get every one to agree on a time. By all means, lets try again.
Chat
I have had a heck of a time trying to sign in. It keeps telling me I cannot post a link and I am not trying to post a link. Can anyone help me? I would love to join some other MTs in a Chat room.
Chat
I've read some of the responses to the chat room. I suggested 7:00 EST, some one else suggested 8:00 for those on the west coast. Tonight was mentioned as a good time for at least one.
My suggestion would be to pick a time, say 8:00 on the west coast, every night. Those that can make it will be there and those that cannot make it on any given night would be assured some one would be there the next night they tried. Once enough discovered the place and how much fun it can be, possibly there would be enough interest to have 1 or 2 almost every night.
For those who arn't sure what I'm talking about - at the top of the page, right side is a link "chat room." Click on that and you should be good to go.
This is just a suggestion. If not interested, ignore. Otherwise, hope to see some folks this evening 8:00 west coast time. (Unless some one has a better time that would work for most).
Chat
Oops.
Chat
Anyone interested in meeting in the chat room 7:30ish tonight?
chat?
i didn’t even realize there was a chat room until this post!!! i am so out of the loop...
new to MT and new to chat
I've never chatted before... seems a little weird. I have a 3yo son whom I have never had to put in day care. Trying to not to; but my husband's pressuring me to get a job. I don't mind; but I'd rather try to keep my son with me... so I'm interested in finding out how to do this... I used to do transcription at a hosp about 5 yrs ago... I still type 82 wpm. do I still need to get a foot pedal or is that ancient hx? Is there any recommended/required softward needed to purchase to begin? How do I do invoicing and line counts? It seems a bit overwhelming... do I need to take a course? Is it something I can do at night and at nap times when my son is asleep? How demanding are the docs? How approachable? I'm scared but excited to try it once I'm armed with a little more info...thanks!
chat
will be on here prob another hour or so...i am logged into the chat room if anyone wants to meet up
chat
I can't get on chat, is it just me or is it not working right now?
Thank you!

The Chat section is closed/discontinued on MTStars.com due to constant abuse of the System (Deliberate Trolling, Abusive Language, Profanity etc.).
Administration has no plans to restore this feature in near future.
Thanks,

chat room
On the main board, menu on the left says "chat". I have clicked on it several times and it always says no one in the room.
Chat rooms. sm
Does anyone ever go into the chat room(s). I have checked there at least a dozen times on different days at different times of the day and have never found anyone in there.
As it stands now, according to the chat
room, is that Kaysar and Jennifer are the only two left. Apparently James gave up and walked out. Go Kaysar!
