Certain people getting raises, certain people not. Guess who is?
Say what you will about unions, the good and the bad. But, one thing they did ensure is a raise, good benefits and that you would have a job in the morning.
Guess I should have kept my mouth shut, now people are - sm
policing the policing. Too nuts.
K, fair nuf - guess I assumed people would get it NM

I guess they're hoping enoug people will quit
that it won't be a problem anymore!! Sigh.
I guess they are focusing on people who take huge deductions which I really dont so maybe that is
why they dont audit me because basically there is nothing to audit since my deductions are about $600 a year which are payroll deducted for equipment. I watch with my deductions that everything can be well documented but I really only have health insurance now which before you couldnt take so that is it for me and that is easy to prove.
but I was younger than
I went out of state one time to visit relatives. We had gone to a bar (a real down-home, dirt floor, southern type of bar) was having a great time. Went for a ride with a "cowboy" I met. Nothing happened, we went to his place to pick something up, drove me around past several local attractions. The people I was with were worried, but of course could not stop me. Everything was okay, and he took me back to the bar with my relatives, and the evening went on as before. But when I think back on it, HOW STUPID WAS THAT. Anything could have happened, and I should have known better. I was in my early 30's at the time. Not sure what point I am making, just that we all do stupid things that we can't even believe, looking back, that we were dumb enough to do. 
You are probably MUCH younger than me... I'm 45 and...
in my day, NOBODY went to preschool. They hardly existed. We all showed up on the first day of kindergarten with that being our first school experience. We learned how to sit still, listen, cooperate, and we played. We didn't show up having spent 3 to 4 years in preschool and with our parents fretting over whether we could read as well as little Johnnie. Too much pressure on kids these days.
My DH is 4 yrs younger than me.

Who is 30 and younger and in this biz?

When I was younger...
I was always having to defend my working at home plus working nights to boot. My aunt in particular used to give me a bad time and actually still does sometimes. She was a social butterfly and felt I'd never meet any new people, but life in general has changed a lot since she was out there in the real world. After nearly 20 years of working in an office environment, I was more than happy to be able to work from home. I'm plenty "social" enough during the daytime outdoors, running errands and spending time with a few other people, am active in church and don't get lonely. I prefer more of a homebody lifestyle. When I retire, I'm hoping to do a bit of traveling to places I've always wanted to see. I'm with you, to each his own. My experience is that people who appear to be having a great time out there running around often are not all that happy/contented with themselves anyway.
looking/feeling younger
Actually I say more power to them. I think it's great that an older woman wants to keep up instead of wearing those polyester pants and orthopedic shoes. I see several woman a lot older than I wearing ankle bracelets, toe rings, capris. I say go for IT. I didn't know there was a rule for how old you have to be to wear certain clothes.
You are right about waitressing, wish I were younger
My daughter works for one of the popular restaurant chains in town. She makes a fortune in tips! One night she had a to go in just to serve one party of 20 that was a "preorder" (food was ready when they got there), hardly did a thing and she got a $75 tip!
I was like, "Gee! Do they have any openings?" Her feet kill her at the end of the night, but I could donate my wrists and fingers to science and I don't get any $75 tips. 
all women in their 40s should go out with younger men
anyway
My DH is 14 years younger than me
and for some reasons I agree with you, but for others I'm not too sure.
I agree with you. Younger MT's need to SM
find something else, because there is no future in this and what future there is will be peanuts.
Can you get someone elsee to babysit children? I would have a long talk with hubby.
I'd look 20 years younger too.
Bad job on Kenny I think. I guess he is better than Joan Rivers though.
It was actually my younger sister!!
No idea what prompted it.
Actually, with the war, there will be no SS for the younger generation...
They are constantly discussing this in the news of how to save SS for the younger generations. We are actually paying your SS with our SS because there is 0 right now due to the war. My husband keeps telling me we will probably have to save for our own (ages 39) if we want any at that time. The baby boomers will be paid by our SS and we will have nothing. This is a heavy topic with my husband. Bush keeps saying we'll worry about it then...pretty scary.
I'm 1 of the younger generation
and I didn't come out of college expecting to make 6 figures. Credit card debt and living beyond your means is not age-specific. I have seen many a retired folks lose everything because they couldn't manage their money. Had to have the flat screen TVs, RV, boats, vacation homes, etc you spoke of.
Other than the age factor, I do agree that many people are living well beyond their means. I talked to someone just last night, who happened to have bought my best friend's house just last summer. They're selling it now and looking for a cheaper place to buy. When we asked why, they said they couldn't afford it. They have 2 brand new SUVs (just bought the 1 this past winter). I've always said the people who drive nice vehicles often don't have a pot to p!ss in. When vehicles are costing $40,000+, I don't see how any one can afford 2 plus a nice home. Take a drive through your local trailer park and you'll see what I mean.
As for me and hubs, I have a minivan that's 10 years old, but we keep it in good condition, and my DH has a 2001 car that is in very good condition. We also keep an old Ford Ranger truck (1995) around for yard work, etc.
All 3 are paid for. We have very little on a credit card, that we'll be paying off as soon as the 0% runs out on it. We also have 3 kids and a house. Many-a-day I wanted to buy something and didn't because I didn't have the money and didn't want to pay for it for the next 10 years. Those are the choices that some make.
On the flip side, not everyone makes enough to even live, and for those I am truly sorry. I have no pity for the ones that just don't know how to manage money.
any tips for looking and feeling younger?
I've always been a health nut and was going to school to become a nutritionist until I found out how much math I would have to take. I have about 30 grams of fiber in my diet, and water to keep the GI running "smoothly" but the most recent thing I started was drinking about 1/4 cup olive oil mixed in with a V8 per day about a week ago, and it makes such a difference in my skin, its firmer, eye circles are gone, and softer and thicker, fine lines just about gone. It also aides in digestion to get all those nutrients to the skin to help repair it too. 
on the topic of looking/feeling younger
I dont really know how to say this, so here it goes...sometimes older women in denim shorts and tank tops look...like older women trying to look young. I am not trying to disrespect anyone, but come on ladies, we've all seen them. The person in the skimpy shorts and low cut top and bleached blonde hair, she turns around and lo and behold, she's your grandmother! That is not attractive! Women can dress and feel sexy without having to borrow our daughter's clothes! Just IMHO!
Y not? As doctors get younger, they'll all be able to
Internet slang their medical reports using their blackberries. TPW AAK. (The patient was alive and kicking.)
She could outskate all those younger athletes! sm
Kimmie M. was good (and she does get to go to the Olympics) but Michelle can skate circles around those young girls. Emily H, who gets bumped from the Olympics, does not have half the talent Michelle has and that certainly showed in her programs at Nationals. She looked very inexperienced. I say send Michelle. The others don't come close to having a shot at medal, she does.
Mick and Keith are 62 and Ron is younger....sm
just cause you probably look like you're 70 and you're probably 50 isn't anybody else's problem except yours.
*ROFL*
Older/younger generation.
I did not say that the older powers that be did not start the whole thing. My point was that we certainly cannot count on this generation to save the day. I am 52. My mom did not work until I was older. We did not have all the "stuff" that I now have. Now my husband and I both work our ends off to have what is now considered a normal lifestyle. This generation tends to feel entitled to this lifestyle. Because it is harder to maintain now by just working a regular job, people are willing to do less ethical things to maintain, and it will get worse.
Forgot to mention - I am an 80s Teen - younger than you! nm

I am an older woman and I dont fit that at all. In fact, I know a lot of younger women trying to
work and take care of kids that fit that scenario.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
I do love those younger gals though, the always pudgy ones in hip riders and too too tight tops.
so attractive with the roll hanging out.
A trivia game question mentions Colonel Sanders; younger players had
(Has KFC been around THAT long????
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?
I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.
So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).
We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?
I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.
I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.
Go take a deep breath and think about that.
My people skills are just fine. I just want to hire people who want to work.
I've not been ugly, I've asked questions, legitimate ones. Please tell me what is wrong with that. This site is not just for MTs, it is for QA Editors, Supervisors, Service Owners, there's even sections for Billers, Coders, and Nurses.
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm
x
Yeah right, OF COURSE! How could there be other people who don't like QA people?
Could only be one. Hahaha. Dream on.
I agree, some people will never get it but, then again, what does it say about them as people? Not
.
then I guess it is just a
matter of process by elimination....Thanx for the info....
GUESS WHAT
The post right above mine ISNT ME!!!!! But she did capitalize in her post. OHHHHH. Could there be 2 of US????
Are you 19:13:49? Guess not! nm
LOL
guess not! nm
Well, I guess...
I simply can't afford to go! That and gas would ruin my budget...
Guess not.

Well, I guess you don't want more help. :) nm

I guess you are SM
just plain stupid and can't read. I have a job and make good money.
Plus that, I can afford to not work for peanuts and hold out for the better paying position because I have a lot more skills than just MT. First of all, I can read and understand the English language which you obviously cannot. AMF
Guess
AND ONLY YOU WOULD KNOW!
GUESS WHAT
A BIG FAT LOSER AS WELL!
My guess
My guess is that since you are the one who noticed, you are probably the one writing the nastygram posts - now you have someone to blame it on because of someone else's misfortune - I have power and I live in Florida, too bad the people who do not have power cannot respond to your rude remarks about the misfortunate.
I guess I am really different
I love OB-GYN most of all. Of course, I have had the same three docs for over 10 years and I have had the liberty of asking them to turn their recorders all the way up and they have obliged. They speak very loudly and clearly. Even after all these years, for some reason, I am not bored with the work. My female docs dictate normally two pages on every patient (my male doc dictates about half a page) so I get a lot of dictation and a lot of canned paragraphs to boot.
When I worked for a large national, I liked the Infectious Disease docs the best but I hated having over 100 dictators in several specialties.
I now work for a small MTSO (plus have my own OB account) and I have nine GI docs and I really enjoy it thus far.
