In Reply to: No, actually,,,, - No whining
Whine to somebody else. MQ MTs who have been "taken" by this
company have no other option but to try to discussion and communicate
on such a web site. Nobody at MQ will be honest. And if you have to scroll
well so be it, you are in a far better situation than us MTs who are trying to
figure out how to get out of the hole MQ has put a lot of us in financially. Most
people by the way don't have the ability to just up and switch jobs. We have
bills, children, and it takes time to learn new accounts, new programs, buy new
things for new programs. remember? or are you so independently wealthy that
these things don't affect you?

Poor baby . .
It it's from nerves try chamomile tea with honey. I think Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time tea has chamomile. Maybe you could look into something homeopathic like Calms or Bach Flower Remedy like Rescue Remedy.
Oh, your poor baby! I had one of those growing up
even with a DOCTOR performing the excision. I can't even imagine -- nor do I want to -- what your poor little guy went through. I'd tie your ex down and burn the soles of his feet to let him see how he likes it! Grr!
Okay, on a less violent note, I agree that your ex had no business taking this into his own hands. I would definitely get something in writing legally saying he can't do anything like this in the future. That's just horrific to me. I can't believe he actually thought this was a good idea!
I've had some experience over the years with plantar warts and will tell you that sometimes they even disappear on their own (my son and I both had a couple after a vacation that just went away on their own). The doctor only treated that one of mine because it had gotten too deep and was hurting when I walked. Otherwise, he would've used treatments, probably similar to what you're doing, and just monitored. I recommend getting something in writing because plantar warts usually will recur (not always) and your son may get another later after these are cleared. I'd be darn sure you have some kind of recourse if the "genius" tries this again.
I realize he thought he was doing a "good" thing for his son, but in any other circumstance, that would be considered abuse! Yikes! I hope your little guy is feeling better and that his foot heals up soon.
awwww poor baby
I am tired of here this and that -- your TRAINING shows obviously they did not train you in the "basic 4" If you even have a CLUE as to what that is -- number TWO get a jolb in a hospital - number THREE MAYBE become a CNA/CSM depending on where you live and get "hands on" patient care -- another aside -- my daughter, who has a 2 year old asked me about doing MT at home and I told her NOT to do it -- she has been working/school and her husband works -- she will be graduating in TWO weeks SUMMA CUM LAUDE -- look it up cause medicine as are a LOT of things are based in LATIN -- PHONICS and not "EBONICS" comes into play so learn
Poor baby! I feel stressed just reading your thread. SM
I doubt anyone realizes going in just how very long it's going to take to become competent (after all, only nuts would apply), and the very long hard haul to even decent earnings is gruelling enough on its own.
Then to have to deal with all that! If you can't fix it (try) and decide you can't live with it, don't quit the industry--take the experience you've already invested in and look for a small operation to train further with, either local or on-line. I started with a small office owned and run by two sisters, lovely sweet women who made the amazing experience of struggling to get good enough to bring in minimum wage (!) endurable. Best wishes!
Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance. :)

"Oh, I could do that..." sm
OMG!! How do you respond when someone says this about your job? My neighbor just the other day said this when I told her what I do at home. We just moved into our house and she and I have talked a few times...Saturday night she said, "I know you work at home, but what exactly do you do"? I said, medical transcription...she said, oh, do you have to read the doc's handwriting and type it out...I said, no, they dictate and I transcribe what they are saying...HER REPLY: Oh, I could do that...! I didn't know what to say. I mean, she's a teacher, and I did not presume to say, oh, you spend all day with 20 6 year olds, I could do that...that just burns me up. I felt like saying to her, ok, let's go to my office and see how well you do...
I really need to know how to handle this sort of situation if it ever comes up again. I honestly did not know how to respond. I just said, yeah, well... I thought I liked her, but now I'm not so sure... 
"Oh, Mom" every ten minutes

We started the new spacing about 2 months ago. At first I said "oh no". sm
Our QA dept did tell us about the tip Ctrl + Shift + F, 2 spaces, tab, 1 space. I was really surprised how quickly my brain accepted the new one space after periods and colons. I still do the double check, but I'm finding very few doubles now.
My kids always say "oh my gosh another vacation" but like I tell them..
It's all about the vacations..put it this way.. I wanna live while I'm young..everyone waits until they are "retired" to travel..Well, trust me, by then, your tired and have health issues. We went with an older couple on our trip..substitute parents.. and this was their first cruise (third in a year for us haha) but first for them at retirement age..and I felt like they missed out on a lot because they tired easily, feet swelled up, legs cramps, irregular bowels..you name it..they had it.. So, I'm living NOW so by the time I am retired I've already seen and done it all. Live for today because tomorrow will be here soon enough and it might be too late..My friends tell me they want us to adopt them as my 8-year-old has been to Hawaii twice, Carribean, Bahmas, Disney World twice.. etc..hubby was a traveler when I married him and he got me addicted.
Bellagio..wow..we've never stayed there.. we stay at the Harrah's properties i.e. Paris, Flamingo, Ballys etc..cuz we get free room offers..Someday I'm gonna splurge and stay at the Bellagio. We go go to the Bellagio for their great buffet..
I wonder if we've talked before.. I met someone on here not to long ago that liked going to Vegas too..I bet it's me.. I think your hubby was a truck driver?? If so, sorry if I repeated my love of travel stuff..

Scroll down--someone posted how to retrieve the
![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smirlove2.gif") line counts from the line counting page. Was very simple and it broke down exactly how many spaces, carriage returns and so on counted into that one report. Broke it down nicely and you can see first-hand what you are paid for (spaces, numbers, all kinds of things were counted up on mine).
I'm really busy today or I'd find it for you. Was posted about two days ago.
Hold control and scroll up or down.

Keyboard shortcut to scroll down
Anyone know of a keyboard shortcut to replace using the mouse to scroll down the scroll bar line by line? I have a neck problem, and would like the text to stay towards the top of the screen. It would be easier for me to do this with a shortcut rather than reaching for the mouse each time.
The "page down" key scrolls down, but not a line at a time.
Would appreciate any tips on this, thanks.
For OTHER pages, scroll the other way or go to the View menu. SM
Look for Text Size. It won't fix the huge text on this page, though.
Hold down CTL key & scroll up/down with wheel on mouse.

Scroll pretty far down on the company board nm
may be on the next page by Saturday a.m.
When a friend asks how you are today you reply "Oh, I'm feeling within normal limits."
Hold down on the Ctrl key and scroll your mouse wheel.

poor, poor management
Line count stealing, no help, rude management, you name it SS has it if it is bad!!!!!!! Run, run, save your life.
Did you look at the company board? Just scroll down the page for posts from yesterday and today!

About whining
I didn't mean that anyone in particular was "whining." I know there are cherry pickers, I know there are company favorites, etc. etc. My point is that if you, me....or anyone isn't making money doing MT and is in a constant state of agitation/unhappiness then it's time to find a better company to work for or even another line of work. Life is too short. Doesn't do any good to complain and wonder how someone else manages to make money, only "you" can control your environment. I know that I have always done more than my share of the difficult dictators and I really don't mind doing it so long as it doesn't 1) interfere with my paycheck and 2) doesn't adversely affect my life. I've only quit one company because of impossible dictators and that is the one that seems to be known to all; that after I worked for them for 7 years and suddenly all the "good" stuff (there wasn't much of that to begin with on that particular account) evaporated and I was doing nothing but the worst of the worst and I do mean WORST. I don't know "why" that was happening but I did know when I had had enough.
Whining
Thanks for the excellent advice, No Whining. Although this is my first visit to this site and I have never posted any complaints about MQ before, I am definitely one of those MQ Whiners you refer to! And this is the best advice I've heard in 5 years! Who do you suggest I apply for a job with?
i am not whining
i am merely trying to take a lighthearted look at other careers we could have chosen. you people suck! you are just mean to be mean. i think u are fooling yourselves that you are so secure in your jobs. i thought that too, i thought i was indispensable, but being an IC, i am disposable. i am just an accounts payable bill; they found a cheaper way to do and what do they do, they get rid the luxury item.
No, and I wasn't whining either.
I just made an observation that you hadn't responded yet. And I was working myself, so I was trying to be brief. Like I told Endiqua, it's not that I, myself, don't believe you or anyone else who is earning really good $$$ at MT. I don't really care if other MTs believe you or not. That's their problem. I do believe it can be done, but I want to know how I can do it, too. Honestly, I appreciate the advice and sharing of experiences. I'm not trying to come across as snotty or trollish.
My last (? ?maybe?) question for you is how long you have been on your particular accounts, and are they low, mid or high level accounts? I worked for both MQ and S, but I left for greener pastures because they kept bouncing me from difficult ESL account to another within a week of the last one.
I made more in the past year doing MT than every other year combined since I started several years ago. I'm not working a part-time job as backup any more either. I've also tripled my expander stats in the past month. I could be satisfied with that, but I believe the potential is there to do so much more.
MORE WHINING FROM MEEEE!!!
 So NOW what do I do??? He wants to see them (it's been two months!!) I've told him I can't AFFORD to meet him and he only offers to "give me money" (that ole dangling carrot) if I meet him  .
I truly WANT the kids to have a relationship w/their dad, but I honestly can't afford the drive (I live in OK; he lives in TX - our divorce says we meet, of course) Have been told by my atty that child support and child visitation are TWO SEPERATE ISSUES.....glad he has money to meet!!
More venting....thanx everyone for your feedback - wish there were not so many DBD's and DBM's out there, but it's NICE not to be alone!!
who's whining here besides you. i'm calling
No whining, but ANGRY
With a MQ blog you could communicate and discuss to your hearts content, while you change nothing and your children starve. And if MQ started the hole you are in, by still being there you are handing them the shovel to make that hole deeper. Of course it is hard switching jobs and learning new accts but how does staying at MQ with NO jobs make that any easier? If you have children and bills, you darn well better be doing something other than just whining about what a bad company MQ is. You can start that process now or you can do nothing but whine and still have to start that process sometime in the future, all the while you bills are adding up and you kids are getting thinner. And another thing, why do you have to buy anything for a new program or new job? I have never had to buy anything for any company I have worked for. It is hard to have alot of sympathy for a person who is constantly with the "poor me" but who does nothing to pull themselves out of the mire. And if you think I am whining, you are reading my posts all wrong. I am not whining, I am angry that you are letting yourselves be taken advantage of. It makes all MTs look bad, like we cannot take a stand for ourselves but feel ourselves to be at the mercy of any company that wants to take advantage of a hard-working MT.
What are you doing here? You're whining.
Use that energy to find another job and stop subjecting the rest of us to your pity party.
Enough already!
No - you started it with your whining about
Gasp!
Tired of the whining and here is why.
If you check out the posts, you will see what we are talking about. MQ MTs whine about the horrible company they work for but don't leave. I am angry that the "sit back and take it" attutude they have makes all hard working MTs look bad. I for one know I am worth more than having to put up with being used like slave labor. Even if it means working two jobs, it is better than just sitting back and whining but doing nothing about your plight. And with that being said, no one is saying they should not be able to beat the dead dog amoungst themselve, they just need to take it to a blog, so we don't have to be witness to it. And btw, i DO work two MT jobs.
Correction! That should be No Whining
.
Yeah, that's why you're the one whining
online about a grocery store clerk a full week later. It must have been pretty bad to affect your self esteem so much that you're still dwelling on it. Have you ever actually worked in customer service before?
Hey DP/No Whining...whoever your alter ego is this evening....
.....I guess you really don't have a life...on here all day and now all night...what a
L-O-S-E-R!
I'm not "no whining" that is a different poster ..
and I have quite a life! Bet I make more than you, as well!!!
Lots going on for me!! I'm not complaining about anything in my life!
Losers are the ones on here who whine about how bad their jobs are, or no work, or low pay, or how people treat them, or how companies treat them, or how bad they've got it ... now THOSE are losers. Willing to whine but nothing more!!!!
:) Does that irritate you?! LMAO
LOL I have no idea who "no whining" is but
see, we sound the similar because we have a similar problem -- sick of YOU.
Ya see, all of you whiners --are just the same. Every single one of ya. MQ cheated you. MQ STILL cheats you. MQ won't change. MQ IS changing. MQ took your money. MQ mailed you check. MQ doesn't give you any work. MQ doesn't, MQ does, MQ doesn't, MQ does.
All sounds the same to us. We're sick of you.
What's embarassing is the fact that you THINK you are really MTs! HOW FUNNY!!! Let me tell you something: Real MTs take pride in their work and control of their professional lives. They give all for companies that treat them well and they leave companies that don't. They don't stand for it.
I am not "no whining". I am a completely different person, have no idea who he/she is, don't really care. I'm just tired of hearing you complain over what you can change. It's petty, cheap, childish, self-centered, and downright unprofessional.
I've made over $200 today with MQ. How about you? Have you made any money today? NO? Hmmmm, wonder why!?!?!?!!!!!
My son, who is 14, most definitely YES! He is constantly whining to me about being bored, but...
my daughter is starting Kindergarten this year and she is my baby and my last and I am going to be a blubbering fool probably the entire first week of school!
quit freaking whining and do your job
xx
And you are doing nothing more than whining. Re-read the post.
Not sticking up for ANYONE, just stating a fact. Get over yourself.
Talk is fine but enough with the repeated whining. sm
I think you are right. You should not leave MQ until you have another job and absolutely, you should not settle for just anything. While it is true MQ has put you were you are today, there is nothing that says you have to stay down. Take your future in your own capable hands and run with it. And I don't agree that where MQ goes, there goes the rest of us. I would like to think MQ will teach us all a lesson as to what NOT to put up with. And if we all make a stand against companies like MQ, I would hope all of our futures can be brighter. I think that also means not sitting quietly by while our jobs are offshored. Refuse to deal with offshore call centers and service centers. It is a small step but we have to start somewhere. Management of these companies has no job except for us, for that matter, state employees on up to the top, have no jobs without us. There is no reason for any of us to take bad treatment without fighting back. I think the future CAN be changed, if we all stick together and make our voices be heard. But whining incessantly just makes people turn a deaf ear to your complaints after a while. A blog would give all MQers a place to support and sympathize with each other.
so "no whining" - still no SELF CONTROL, huh? The MQ draws you like a
to blood------------
you are the one pathetic. Those of us who are trying to figure out how to get out of the muck MQ put us in, come here to share things and hopefully come out of this disaster in one piece.
Like others have said - -0 - - - stay away.
Don't click on things MQ.
Don't YOU get it? We don't need your attacks. We don't need your smart butt remarks. If you don't have anything constructive to post to those of us in a bit of a mess, then don't say anything and move on.
Otherwise we are going to think you are MQ management, and we wouldn't want to think they would stoop that low.
That is because No whining/Barney is taking her meds.

That is because No whining/Barney is taking her meds.
Your tone sounds 100% whining and bitter.
That's why I call your posts whining and bitter! The other poster stated her case in a mature way, using stats as her back up. No whining, no bitterness. I have not formed an opinion on the AAMT either way to date, but am leaning more pro-AAMT by just the style of postings - those supporting it come off as calm, professional, and mature, while those not supporting it sound emotional, bitter, and whining. Just my opine and reaction to the posts!! Debate much? Its a great skill, and long lost in America...
Chill in that you're all complaining and whining here, which is getting you NO where fast! Plus i
just soooooo tiresome to hear it 24/7. Again, its been going on forever. Period. And I assume you are referring to MQ, and then go on to imply how the service who treats their MTs right will have the most MTs, or whatever. Well, MQ has about 10K at any given moment! Unethical to route work as you see fit? Never! That's the ropes! Some MTs just take everything soooooo personally. Its not good for their mental health, literally. Hey, I get a run of 10 reports from a great dictator whom I haven't heard in, say, 6 months, I just type them and move on! Perhaps I pause a microsecond to think, Hmmmm...he hasn't been around much, but glad he's here now! To hear these whining complaining MTs, they just sit there and start plotting how this doctor got to their pool, where he's been in the interim, and its ALWAYS Indian MTs as the scapegoat, or the cherry pickers, or the VR got all the "good stuff". They never just accept that its just THE WAY IT IS. The roll of the dice - the MTs on line before them or with them - why does it always have to be something other than just fate? Its so reflective of an unhappy persona, and its so self defeating. Type it and be happy, or get another job!
Same goes for the ridiculous whining from marrieds and cohabitators...hahaha
It is just as "oh please" to hear marrieds and those with live-ins complain about all they have to "put up with". Same logic applies there -- they asked for their situation as well.
I personally think that parents deserve a little extra appreciation, period.
I have a softer opinion toward single parents as I have been one and I can honestly say that of all the married women I know, I have never seen one marriage that I would give up my lifestyle now for theirs.
So, I suppose we should ALL stop complaining about our own personal lives! We each and every made the decisions that got us here and we make the choice to stay!!
So, in trying to be fair, I'll not do any more extra cheerleading for single parents as long as I don't have to hear the same whine song from marrieds/cohabitators!
QUESTION: Why are you still there? Quit whining and go to a different company. If you stay there,
pp
You had our compassion but the constant whining has turned that to antipathy. nm
:)
Then maybe you will start talking about me and quit repeating the whining about MQ. nm
