posting on the correct forum. The Main board gets so jammed that we have had to create other forums for particular subjects. We only ask that posters kindly utilize those forums instead of posting every single thing on the Main board.
Again, thank you.

Sensitive about what?
I don't even work for MQ. I just thought your post looked kind of stupid because how would you know if Americans are lazy if you're not American and don't live as Americans do? If you are American, you're part of the group you called lazy. I'm not sensitive about anything. I just thought you looked kinda silly for not thinking things through.
A bit sensitive huh?
If you feel you are being attacked, it's because of your original statement. We were simply pointing out that what you are doing is wrong. Period. And I still think you need to put on your big girl panties. 
I think the message was that you are the one that is sensitive. Not me.
sensitive to smells
I used to be allergic to anything in the laundry detergent, strong perfumes, etc categories. I would walk down the aisle to buy laundry detergent and wheeze and sneeze. I found out I had many environmental allergies and had six years of allergy shots, and then I got tired of them, but I now have immunity. I also used to get the bad headaches. Tylenol Sinus/Flu helped me a lot. Sometimes though, really strong musk or other perfumes will make me sick. Maybe an allergy doctor could help you also.
Maybe you're too sensitive
I've re-read the posts, and I don't see anyone being insulting. We are tired of having our jobs taken away, our wages being cut by one-third or more over the past 5-7 years, while all our concomitant expenses have gone up.
We are tired of everyone else in this world thinking that it is their right to leech off the U.S.A.
We are tired of our medical records and other confidential information being in the hands of foreigners who are not subject to the laws here that are supposed to protect us. Identity theft is at epidemic proportions in this country. That is in no small part because so many of our corporations offshore their accounting, billing, and customer service work giving foreigners our SSN, address, income information, marital status, and other vital info.
If your feelings got hurt, too bad. We're fighting for our livelihood here.
BTW, for a South African to protest that something on this board was "insulting" to the rest of the world is stupendously arrogant. Not all Americans are as ignorant of the rest of the world as you think we are. Your country has a long history of obstinancy and arrogancy bordering on lunancy.
Dear Sensitive
I gave you my opinion, which wasn't UNkind = ask you supervisor how to handle this type of situation (how much should/can you edit for the account(s) you are assigned to).
They will likely appreciate your caring enough to be sure you are transcribing accurately...
This sounds maybe like you are a little sensitive
rather that something else. I, like you, have a thyroid problem but others really do not understand. I have to take medications for the rest of my life. Hey, I used to get (and still do sorta underlying from 1 member of family) barbs from my father until I told him to ask his physician (whom he trusted apparently more than anyone) about the thyroid deal. He eased up after that but before OMG! The thing about making room, that could be innocent but maybe to you or I or your friend that means something else. My feelings have been hurt before so I know. The thing about the insurance- my time in applying for life insurance I told person on the phone about husband 260 pounds and 6'4- they immediately told me overweight and would have to come to home to interview him and see. They found a very well-built, muscular man and they said, hes not overweight, just a really big man and wrote the policy. Having said that, insurance companies are more strict now about insuring people overweight, with things like diabetes, hypertension and the like. They just are like that. I know because my present husband fits both the above and I cannot get life insurance on him, just risks they do not want to take even though he takes no medicine for diabetes and keeps in check with a good lifestyle and eating habits- hereditary with him. Working at home, though, does not stop a Transcriptionist because it is not an inhouse thing now like it used to be. I have lived the above so I know others can be cruel sometimes.
noise sensitive
Well, go figure, we are trained to pick up every little detail in dictation and to do that, our ears are extremely acutely tuned to every nuance. You just can't shut it off when the ear phones come off. 
Anyone else overly sensitive to smells?
Went to the grocery store today and smelled one of those new Glade candles things and it wasn't a particularly strong smell (Rose and vanilla) but by the time I put it back on the shelf I had a throbbing headache and by the time I got to the end of the aisle I thought I was going to puke. I never know what will set me off - although artificial blueberry flavoring kept me in bed for 3 days and anything with this in it is banned from my house.
I avoid fragrance counters in department stores, get fragrance-free magazines, try to avoid smokers and even the butt buckets they have in front of stores.
Is there anything you do to head off a wicked headache when you are exposed to something? I haven't always been like this, but the older I get the worse it seems to get. I'm not bad enough I feel like I need to wear a mask in public, but I've thought I would have to get better to die a couple of times.
i'm overly sensitive to sound!
do you suppose its from having sound pipped into our ears close-range!?
don't forget that it seems to be case sensitive.

This job has made me overly sensitive
:-(
I think it is incredibly kind and sensitive. I
don't think it unprofessional at all, especially if the patient and/or family are religious. I hear something similar on occasion.
I already do pray. But why not spirits? Animals are more sensitive, you know
nm
Ok. I stand corrected...may be overly sensitive..sm
I work for two places, one full time as IC and one part time as IC. Full time is small service with approximately 14 MTs. I get paid by the gross line at .067 cpl, typed in courier new 12. I have worked there for three years. Part time IC job is .08 cpl at 55 characters, typed in TNR 12. I consider both of these to be low paying, after reading some of the others, but they pay the bills. I guess.
I wasn't aware Asian people were sensitive
about it. Where I live I guess we don't have the largest Asian population. Those I have met have been rather reserved and didn't discuss anything personal to someone they met in business or a casual meeting. So forgive me if I used the wrong term when I said Oriental, because I was just attempting to be vague since I didn't check on the origin of the dictator's name. As for those who suggested I leave a blank, any report with more than 3 blanks has to go to QA. So I take the time to look at his other reports for instances where he either said it better or the MT was better at that particular accent. I'm quite good at many accents, including Korean (let me acknowledge that Korean would be a particular Asian accent so we don't start another time-consuming discussion over that tiny point). But whatever particular Asian accent this person has, at least with the system we are using to record his voice, I have trouble with. But I get a few reports by him nearly every day, so I've started a list of the phrases he doesn't pronounce well. Whatever his first language is obviously didn't use many of our sounds, so I was just thinking it would probably take a speech therapist to train him. IMO, some of his training isn't appreciated fully if his patients can't understand him when he speaks, or MTs have to leave blanks in his reports. So with all the education he's had already, what would be a few weeks of speech therapy, is what I'm thinking.
My husband is sensitive to smells, he takes Sudafed Sinus which helps him with the headache
I have sensitivity problems too but like you I never know what is going to set me off, I don't get headaches though, I get hives and chills, real fun. Luckily it only happens about once a year and its been about 3 years since my last episode.
This isn't RELIGION 101
This happens to be medical transcription we're talking about....maybe you're one of those recruiters that will hire just about anyone, including illiterate people, to take more of our jobs away....this isn't about JUDGING anyone.....it's only about raising the bar and DEMANDING quality and professionalism from our peers......I wonder what you're work looks like......hmmmmm. I still stick to what I said.....If you can't pass a basic vocabulary test in the ENGLISH language.....MOVE ON!
Religion
Can you spell blasphemy?
"Wacked out about religion". How come you sm
don't say that about the others who are completely wacko? I can think of Tom Cruise and Scientology Richard Gere and Buddhism (I believe)to name just two. I say good for Stephen to share his faith. If others in Hollywood can do it, he shouldn't suffer the consequences for it.
pushing religion
I say that about anyone pushing their beliefs..be it gere, cruise, the pillsbury dough boy..You have beliefs, wonderful, so do I..however, that all changes when you try to push your religion/beliefs on others..More power buddists, scientologists, christians, pagans, hindus, muslims, you name it..just dont try to sway me unless I ask for it..
we now have freedom OF religion for all
you are perfectly free to celebrate whatever holiday you wish to NOW. The majority celebrating Christmas does not diminish that in any way, shape or form.
The only time religion
is when people try to force it down your throat or give you the holier-than-thou attitude of "I'm going to heaven, and you're going to hell."
religion board
How would one access the religion board.
Einstein did not believe in religion.

Organized religion
basically is another club. It ends up being about its own entity and not the spirituality it is supposed to embrace. Christ said basically the same thing when he was on earth.
Maybe you could get the other employees together to voice your feelings and needs to this employer to see if you can prompt some very necessary changes. If not, I would start seriously looking for a healthier work environment.
Remember that it is also not good for the people who take advantage to be allowed to do so (work or personal).
I am so sorry about your friend/co-worker. I hope you can gain strength from this loss to make some changes.
organized religion
Your comment aboput organized religion is off teh subject and snarky. This person did not die because it was A CATHOLIC hospital and I for one am tired of this sort of modern day sneering. I work at a Catholic Hospital. I absolutely loathe the manager who will not give me a singel Sunday off but she herself is a Catholic and tries to tell me waht church to go to. She's not a jerk becuase of her religion. She's just a jerk. Period. I won't die from stress becuase my life is worth more that 400 lines. But to make off the wall comments about religion is not ok.
Religion vs. spirituality. sm
Religion is for people who are afraid of going to h*ll. Spirituality is for those who have been there and don't want to ever go back. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
No one who is actively abusing drugs and/or alcohol can have a relationship with Jesus Christ--or with anyone else, for that matter, other than a very dysfunctional one. You must first be clean and sober.
If I'm that much of a sinner, maybe you should just pray for me instead of flaming me here on this message board. Jesus might like that better, who knows? :D
IMO - no. If he hits you once, he will hit you again. It will not matter what religion you believe

Where is the religion board? I need some new spells. nm
The religion issue came at a good time. sm
My daughter is 10.
We're in the car and she wanted to call her friend Jessica on the cell phone. She said, "It's after 2:00, so they're already home from church."
Then she says, "You know, mama, I don't mind going to church with them, but I hate going up and eating that yucky bread."
I said, "They had you go up for communion?" and she said, "I think that's what it is. The guy in the robes puts a yucky cracker thingy in your mouth, but they call it bread for some reason."
So I said, "You don't have to go up and take communion, you're not Catholic. I could talk to Jessica's parents and tell them that you aren't a Catholic and you shouldn't go up and take communion."
She said, She said, "Well, I'd feel stupid just sitting there when everyone else went up. I'm not going to go someplace bad if I do the Catholic thing and I'm not really a Catholic am I?"
I said, "Of course not. You just don't have to that's all."
She said, "It's okay, I don't really mind it that much." After a few minutes she said: "Hey wait a minute, we're not JEWISH ARE WE?!!!"
Another half hour on the different faiths and beliefs and the fact that it doesn't matter what you choose, but that it is a private, personal choice, and that one should never try to convince another person that their way of thinking is the "right" way.
She thought it wasn't a good thing not to have a Christmas tree, but then thought that Hannukah was "really cool" because the kids didn't have to wait to open a present. Then she said, "Well, we could light a candle every night for the Jewish kids because they don't have a Christmas tree and then maybe we could just open a present."
I said, "Nice try kiddo."
Out of the mouths of babes!
In some cases, I think religion is just their latest addiction.
Didn't Stephen Baldwin used to have substance abuse issues? Seems like some of these people just trade in the substance for religion and pursue it with the same enthusiasm.
Hi Eva! Answered here because I don't know which category to go under on the religion board.
The book of Daniel will have a lot of clues about this, but in a nutshell, the wild beast of Revelation is a composite or sum total of the beasts pictured in the book of Daniel. The beasts in the book of Daniel represented the ruling powers, or governments, of the day. The beast of Revelation represents the same today and gets its power from the great dragon, which is Satan (Rev. 13:2, 12:9), so it isn't surprising that the bible calls satan the ruler of the world (John 12:31, 16:11) and the god of this world (2Cor. 4:4). However, at Daniel 2:44 we're told through prophecy that eventually God will bring an end to all human rulership and will begin exercising his rulership over the human family as the one true universal soverign. He will do this through his son, Jesus Christ (Dan. 7:13,14). The Kingdom mentioned in Daniel 7:14 is the same one Jesus taught us to pray for in the model prayer or Lord's prayer. God's will is being done in heaven because he rules there. So, praying for his his kingdom to come and his will to be done on the earth as it is done in heaven is the same as asking him to take over the rulership of the earth, which he will do. However, that will mean an end to all human rulership here on the earth (Rev. 16:14), which is why the beast of Revelation will be destroyed along with the one that gives the beast its power. That destruction will take place in the "battle of the great day of God Almighty," which is referred at Rev. 16:16 as Armageddon. That is the battle over sovereignty, and that is why it is with the governments (or kings) of the earth. All those supporting those kings or governments will have its figurative mark on their hands and/or foreheads showing that they support the beast with their mental energies (mark on their foreheads) and with their actions (mark on their hands). Those supporting the beast and putting their faith in it will be destroyed along with it (Rev. 19:20,21).
In a nutshell.
There are several forums to post on at the Religion link.
I wouldn't call it "fragmented". The poster can ask his/her question on more than one religion board and receive a variety of responses in which to make an informed decision.
Aren't politics and religion social no-nos? sm
And I believe there is a very good reason for that.
I neve discuss politics or religion

Surprised this did not get yanked to the Religion board - sm
everything else does (get yanked that is)....this board is pretty boring these days. Oh well, I am getting more work done so that is a good thing.
All religious topics go on the Religion board. (SM)
Stop now with this or I will delete the whole thread.

Post spiritual discussion on the Religion boards.

Please post religious discussion on the Religion board.

Religion is an outdated notion created centuries ago
and has no place in today's society.
And they can by either posting on the Religion forums or contacting the Administrator.

Careful girls, this is NOT the religion board as pointed out above!

My bad; this should go to the Scientology forum under Religion; thread locked.

Those magic spells on the religion board are a hoot.

I think EVERYTHING pertaining to religion is a hoot! People are such SHEEP!

I am aware of the religion board, just thought main one would be more active...thanks anyway. nm

Administrator..was I supposed to ask my question on every single religion to get a response? sm
I didnt think my post was offensive or a problem. I was just looking for general input on different religions. To suggest I sit here and post that same question over and over again on each individual religion forum is nuts...not to mention very time consuming. Thanks anyway...I will look elsewhere. Thanks to those who did answer before it was rudely removed.
Religion board/Catholic is full of printed material!!!
Whoa
