*If* you read my post before jumping down my throat, you would see that I said I had NO complaints at all with MQ, have been happy there, lot's of work, etc.

Sorry, but I don't need any suggestions from you on what to do with my life, for MQ & my life works for me just fine, if you had read. I was just trying to get you to see how you come across, but I see that is now such a waste in time.  If one ever needed to look in that proverbial mirror......

Do either of you ladies stop to check your posts before you send them?

I'm also happy with my situation with MQ, have not been done wrong, have plenty of work and support from my CSC and 11 yrs under my belt with them.

That said, I know that there are as many MT's not happy with MQ as there are who are happy.

My point is, that you two in particular seem to be getting carried away with your defense of MQ and in doing so, your beginning to sound like a bunch of children, resorting to name calling and blah blah blah's?  What is up with this kind of behavior?

You can clearly state your opinions pro-MQ the same as others can express their anti MQ opinions.  It's a free board to allow anyone to express their opinions...there really is no need for the level you have both slumped to with your posts.

Just reign it in before you make complete fools out of yourselves.  Some of us adults, just sit is amazement of some of these posts, really not necessary to express you opinions with school yard antics.

Administrator, these quotes below are what we are referring to.  Her attitude and language are indefensible.  Please ban her from this board.

From MQLOVER: 

"1.  ….is utterly ridiculous that you find a negative thing to say about everything you read you nasty, nasty lady. "

"2.  Maybe you better wonder about what is for dinner tonight, I am sure you are thinking about that."

"3. Yeah, you make a lot of sense! Stupid.  I find it funny that you think people who enjoy their jobs are immature and have multiple personality disorders. So wake up ugly and go find a shrink."

"4.  You really are stupid.  What I have to say is the only loser here is you, so lose about 50 pounds and come back later."

There are many more examples on record.  Thank you,

The professional MTs who really want to use this site.

Ok, from what I am gathering is that it is pretty much a "hit or miss" when it comes to taking MT courses, no matter who they are. 

I have never heard anyone say anything negative about Andrews or M-Tec.  Is it possible that ALL of their students are 100% satisfied?

What I miss from in-house - being able to talk to the doctors and techs about problem reports, being able to ask for clarification and get an immediate answer, very easy QA, very easy dictations, the easy wardrobe (we wore scrubs), the security and perks, knowing if I had a low production day or took vacation my check wouldn't suffer, and the friends I made there.

What I don't miss - Getting paid the same (or less) than than slackers, having to rotate weekends, constant interruptions, constant demands (fax this, drop what you're doing and find my report, boring staff meetings while the work piles up, shop/cook for this potluck), little kids screaming in the hall, politics and getting along with difficult people.

But I'd say - go for it, if you'll make more money at a job that close, its a chance in a lifetime.

Been without it for a year now.  I have a greater appreciation for PBS!!  And, I find that since I have the television on less, I am much more productive.  My kids are out of the house now, I currently live alone, so did not need cable. 

I do get my fix of viewing when I spend the week-ends at my fiances place tho.

Haven't gone out dancing since about 1990.

I told my 24-year-old I want to go before I die and she said she would take me to a club with drag queens who perform on stage. I can't wait!!!

the posting is very specific as to what information to provide to apply for the job. No one is telling anyone WHEN or HOW to do any work. We are not even there yet. And I am well aware of what the IRS definition is of a contractor - you forget that one of the requirements is that the IC is supposed to provide THEIR OWN equipment to get the work done. 

As far as buying software to work for you that they probably wouldn't be able to use elsewhere-- they don't have to. I never said they had to. I just said if they wanted THIS JOB, they had to. I specifically gave the example of a C-phone. I hardly consider a C-phone to be equipment you can't use anywhere else. And if they are aren't willing to buy the C-phone...fine.  But then don't apply for a job posting where you are told it is required!!!

For the attachments, I didn't say it was a big deal. I know how to delete. The point is: Hello?  can you follow directions? Can you read?

"Most other companies either do payroll deductions or provide software at no charge with the explicit language in the contract that software is to be deleted upon termination." And tell me how many of those companies are willing to hire and train a newbie fresh out of MT school? I'll give you a hint, starts with Z for zero.

If you can't afford the equipment that is listed in the job as a requirement for the job, then don't apply. That's all. I just don't get why they are applying when they aren't willing to fulfill their end of the proposal?

Used to work for an old country GP. Had a guy stagger in with the tip of his finger hanging from a close encounter with a table saw. Blood everywhere. We gave him a roll of paper towels and went to fetch "the mop" out of the garage. It was 20 below out and the mop was frozen solid so we ran it under hot water in the kitchen sink and cleaned up the blood spills. No gloves. No worries.

Many stories from that place. My favorite was the patient in the waiting room with a paper bag full of baby chickens that he had to bring in because it was too hot in the car and he had to stop in on his way home for his weekly BP check.

What a small world!

...is the most recent comment posted that used to be right on top...quick glance, you could tell if there were any new posts, or maybe new responses to a post. 

is THE CHAIR! It had a split back and you could adjust about 5 different ways. It was SO comfortable. I know the place where it was purchased and as soon as I get enough $$ (like $500!) I want to get it. I, too, suffer from lower back problems as of late with my "cheap" chair.

Sounds like you need a good back rub too! LOL!

More than anything I miss "info" with cable.  When watching at my mom's there is no way to pull up and see what movie/show you are watching, how long it will be on, etc.  I can see where that would be confusing for an older person.  Of course your FIL deserves to decide what he wants, but even with Directv you can get a simpler remote and just surf the channels, avoiding the guide and such all together.  We deleted the channels that we don't have so that they just don't show up when surfing, or even in the guide.  It is fairly easy to edit them out, and then put them back in later if you need or want to. 

They could diagnose someone's fate, but couldn't operate a copy or fax machine if their life depended on it..what was I thinking?? lol
