Post jokes and comedy on Comedy board. (NM)

The Comedy Stop !!
There's some funny stuff over there.  It's good to have a comedic break now and then.      
Feel free to send me an e-mail via this board
:)


Jodi, you feel free to post whenever you want to and if you see something

ugly posted, you just email me directly and I'll deal with it.  I am intolerant of people being mean on this site.  I can be reached at admin@mtstars.com.


On an episode of Dr. Phil I saw just the other day, he said that children have a hard enough time living outside of a broken home, but should never have to live INSIDE of a broken home.  Wise words, in my opinion.  I, personally, think you did the right thing and as long as you are taking care of your children and have a decent roof over their heads, he really can't do much.  Like you said, if he wants to partake in your children's upbringing then he can come to see them.  Unless you moved closer to your parents or siblings then you should probably sit tight where you are since you have a home church and people there who you can talk to.  Also, there are very caring people who post here regularly, so please don't give up on this site just because of a bad apple.

Just added a favorite funny to the Comedy Stop

It was popular in the 1990s, but I was able to find it again by googling.   I discovered that it is not a true story, which is disappointing, but just pretend it is.

Comedy board is for LOL!

Okay, Top Ten Reasons Why... posted on comedy board

This one is good.


I put a good one on the Comedy board. It might offend some!

Reminder: Jokes go on Comedy board. (SM)

This has been an issue before.  No exceptions.


Thank you.


I laugh at the comedy board not at a strike.
then get off of the porch.  You call this OP venting?  Cut me a break.  Sounds more like a cry for help.  Why don't you all find a new profession instead of wanting everything handed to you on a silver platter.  I find no humor in compromising patient care because someone wants to have a b***ch fit!!!  
Bloopers can be posted on the Comedy board.

The purpose of QA is not to fix your mistakes DEAR..the purpose is to get your quality up so we don&
look at your work. It gets sent directly to the client and we do an occasional audit. If you don't want to deal with editors then listen to what they say and pull your damn score up and you won't have to worry about it all. The comments left are feedback. Why the hell should we just "give you the answer" we need to explain it to you so you do not make the same mistake. Sounds to me like you editor is probably pulling her hair out with you. If you can't cut it, get out of the business!

Same here - will never stop listening. I do feel the crunch though
when I am backed up. I just work a little extra in the evening or on the weekend to make up for it.

When kids need or want to talk, it is best to stop everything and listen. They become more secure and confident in themselves, more productive and successful in society. I always stop whatever I am doing when my kids stand there wanting to talk to me. Mine are 17 and 14. As soon as they get in from school, in my office they come.

I am so thankful I work at home and am here for them after school. I would not trade that for anything in the world!


Feel free. nm

Pick a board but let's stop the hatefulness

It's shameful to see all these rude posts about foreigners.  This was first started as a foreign website, and Sheri turned it into the pro-U.S. even though it was still foreign owned.  I believe the dentist's side of the story about not having a credit card and needing someone to collect the money and divide it accordingly.  Sheri's rebuttal is all about attacking the dentist's character and not so much factual.  She didn't reply to allegations about owing him money or using offshore MTs to line her pockets, whereas his explanation seems more factual based and doesn't make any personal attacks.  That's why I believe him. 


People are also confused in thinking that he still owns this site. He has said it has been sold to a friend and would only return to his ownership if Sheri had paid him the $7000 he was owed to buy it back.  It has since been sold and resold, so the dentist isn't the one running this site.


Now, you can choose to stay here or jump ship because you don't want to share this place with foreigners, but let's not attack people based on them living in other countries.  We, as Americans, should have more pride in ourselves and not resort to such childish and rude comments.  If you don't want to be here, then find anothe board, but let's stop the horrible comments.  You don't see anyone on here bashing Americans.


I definitely will not be going to Sheri's new site.  If you disagree with her, she blacklists you and threatens to sue over everything.  That's how she scares and controls people.  She certainly kept a lot of secrets about not owning the site before and only revealed details after the dentist's claims surfaced.  Don't trust her AT ALL.


There are lots of other boards out there...let's move on or at least stop with the hateful posts. We're better than that.


Feel free to Email me - maybe we can help

Stop yelling at the board, newbie mt. We don't jump
Just where do you get off trying to tell everyone around here how to behave, what to post, when to post, what to criticize, what not to criticize, etc.?

Excuse me?

Many here have been on these boards for a decade or more, and you're trying to tell them what to do and how to do it? No. I don't think so, hun.

Try soaking that hot head of yours in cool water before trying to come on here and dictate to anyone what they can and cannot do. You DO sound like a spoiled, rotten brat.

You're pretty much the only one crying, you know, or you're in the minority. The general consensus here is that this is a darn good place to be, and the reason for that is because of the people who post here. So back off.


I feel people who feel like this post
needs to a) either be a stay at home mother and not work or b) realize that she is no queen bee and I could care less about a degree. What company out here that you know of compensates for having a degree? Means nothing to them. Your working and being there when they assign/need/require/whatever is what you should do IF YOU WANT A JOB in this field, otherwise get out and do something else or become that babysitter.
Or "Please feel free to contact me."
Grrrr
Feel free to e-mail me privately. I

am by no means a techie, but I've BTDT so can at least point you in the right direction.


If you do have a power outage, unless it is a catastrophic outage that might affect the cell towers, then yes an air card is the only thing that would work.


A laptop battery if new will last maybe three hours, but the more things you do on it the less it will last.  If you are surfing the net while working then it uses more power, so even in a power outage a laptop may not be a saving grace - but, you can get an inverter that you can plug into the cigarette lighter in your car and it then gives you a outlet that you can plug your laptop into or a cell phone.  You can find them at Target for about $15.  Can probably find in a computer/electronics store too.  We have a large one that has 4 plugs.  We can even plug in the crock pot and cook while we're traveling. 


Please feel free to send me an email regarding...
your post. My response is far too long to post here, and could possibly be deleted if I provide names.


heading there this fall..feel free to share
what to see when and where!!

Feel free...Kid found it really funny when started...sm
She was a real wimp about anything (the kind that screams bloody murder for a stubbed toe and was afraid to do anything for fear of getting hurt). I finally sat her down and talked to her about things that will heal easily. We finally came down to 1 rule in the house that can never be broken: No broken necks. Lots of blood and visible bones will usually heal (comparitively easily), but they must be attended to quickly.
Feel free to email me about this. Lots of choices nm

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...

I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...



We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 



But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.



What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.


My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....


Post belongs on Ask the Dr. board. See that board. Thread locked.

Yay for this board, I don't feel so remote
I admit I leave this page open all day (addicted) and refer back, just because knowing there are fellow MTs online makes me feel like I have coworkers again!  Sometimes I do get cabin fever with the only souls around me all day being my cat and dog.  Wondering how everyone copes with being remote and getting cabin fever once in awhile...has anyone gotten to the point where they were either too lazy/scared to leave their house??
This is the correct board. I feel that
there should be no error rate (that is like docking pay for leaving blanks). It is a big no no IMO. That is what QA is for.
Please post the name of the free server that you're using.
It would be helpful to both this poster and other who may be looking. Is it some kind of a secret that you can't share or what?
If you eat, drink, & get crumbs & spills in your board, a new one will definitely feel much

And why did you feel THIS post was directed at

Regarding a legal board, we are not planning to add any new boards. We feel that there are plenty of
boards for various topics of discussion.  There also will not be a MQ board set up.  Posters may post on the Main board or Company board about companies. 
I'm sorry you feel picked on. Yours was the post I responded too because SM
yours was the one I found to be most unbelievable and in case you didn't notice, I wasn't the only one who found it unbelievable.
read the whole post - good lord- you act like I am telling you to work for free--
The fact is "YOU ARE NOT TYPING THE LINE" So why get paid to type that line?

I merely suggested hourly pay. Good Grief!! If you people didn't have something to argue about, I think you would all go bananas.
These threads always make me feel inadequate... I'm not about to post...

"Uh, I dunno.. I'l sling the freezer open at 6 oclock and toss some fish sticks and french fries on a cookie sheet and slice up some fruit."


Seems like everybody is so gourmet....


Post word questions on the Word board NOT the Main board.

I feel kinda lazy reading your post as i'm content just

Where I feel crazy, I set a goal of around 300 lines an hour (ha! not with these dictators but 250 is still good), every two hours make a snack to get me moving.  I love juicing veggies and making fruit smoothies in the blender, coffee makes me nuts.  I also do calisthenics (sp?) every couple of hours for about three minutes to keep my blood flowing and keep toned.  I walk the dog two times a day for about 10 minutes to get energized from the sun and keep a good color.  I take an hour break to watch good ol Judge Judy, and fix myself something nice n yummy, and after Judy I crank out my last hour called the 'power hour' where I take no prisoners and smoke comes off my keyboard!  Like a race to the finish line.


I can't see how you could do the 20 and the 10 minute clean break, that would slow me down!  Maybe I should take cleaning breaks, because I never want to clean when I have a block of time off and the dirt just collects.


Sorry you feel that way, but we have never allowed offshore MTs to post on the MTStars website.

This is not something new, it's been this way since the beginning.  The ONLY difference we made was to allow US based MTSOs that offshore the ability to post job ads because they hire US QA Editors.


This post made you defensive, just like those e-mail nastygrams make us feel.

why would you post this on the board????..nm

The things you post on this board clearly
say that you are a lonely man! Get a woman and then get a life!
