Oh good grief
Whoever started this, "It's your responsibility to look up an address" should be drawn and quartered. Leave the secretarial work for the person who gets paid by the hour.
Good grief
OMG! You have got to be kidding yourself here. First, Barney is Zipper, MQLover, Frankie Boy who ever else you accused and now she is MQ whiner? Listen to yourself. 
Good grief!!!
Reading these costs of living it's no wonder people are so grouchy all the time. I've always been pretty frugal...no mortgage, no car note, no credit card bills. Total expenses including food, probably under $1000 month, don't keep track. We spend a lot on eating out and just generally having fun. Simple 2 BR 1 Bath house on 8 acres, One Ford F150 that's 6 years old, one Dodge Ram that's 4 years old. Living just the way we like it...not having to worry about drowning. Not exactly paupers, total income around $7500/month.
oh good grief
lol
Oh good grief. (nm)

Good Grief!
The average Joe should be SO LUCKY to have a 6.4 or 4% decline in wages! Health care keeps going up and the doctors keep raking in the dough left and right. If you can't see that, there's something terribly wrong.
good grief!
 I hope you are okay. Did anyone see that show on the health channel last week where the little girl about 12 was trying to purge and put her fork down her throat and it slipped? The tines were barely seen in the back of her throat. Talk about scary!
good grief!
Don't you have anything better to be so judgemental about! Withholding help just because of the way someone *wrote* something! What difference does it make? This is a *forum*, not a federal document!
Good grief
I am very sorry to hear things are rough for you right now, and well wishes for you and your family.
You have always been so helpful here, and know that many of us appreciate your insightful take on the issues we all share as MTs.

Scary isn't it? I agree, I would "accidentally" forward to a higher upper. This is totally ridiculous.
Oh, good grief.
Why does everyone think that they should only get the type of work that they want? It is up to the employer to see that ALL the work gets done and sometimes you may have to do something you don't like. Granted, you should not have been told that you wouldn't have to do DS. However, to say that you were lied to is a bit over the top, don't you think?
With all the griping that goes on on this board about work going overseas, to sit here and complain about the work that you do get is non-productive whining.
Good grief!
Can't even imagine working without a spell check of some kind. Am wondering if there are programs that you can download on the computer you use...even having to re-download every day? Sure hope you can get it "fixed" -
Good grief--
It was meant as sarcasm-- I guess you didn't "get it". What I meant by it is why was HE worried about not speaking English when none of the ESLs give a rip.
Good grief you don't get it do you? sm
When this all started it started with someone posting about not wanting to work weekends, holidays, nights, when their kids were at a soccer game, blah blah.
You people have absolutely taken one post and stretched it all out shape.
I am neither bitter or miserable in my profession. But, the posters who whine about hours and days and no work when they want work are the ones who are bitter.
Seems to me the ones that are complaining about all that are the ones that don't have a positive attitude as you like to put it.
I am not on a pedestal and I don't think I am better than anyone. But, I also know what it takes to make it in this profession......a lot of hard work over the YEARS and willingness to hang in there. I see people on here who have been in this profession 2-3 years and have worked for 5-6 MTSOs! How the heck do you get anywhere job hopping like that? IMO you shouldn't even be working for an MTSO at that point.
I really don't care if you or any of the other whiners and complainers give a rip what I think. The profession is the way it is. Its not going to change to suit those who don't want to work and it may even get worse.
Get use to it or get out. Keep complaining about no work, no work when you want it, weekends, nights and holidays. Waste your time. I am going back to work.
As for myself and others like me who have done this for years, we will have a job when you are out looking for a job at Walmart. Personally I am glad, at least some of the whiners will get weeded out.
good grief
That sounds like a gigantic mess. I'm glad I bailed when I did.
Good grief!
IF you have your own company
IF you have good employees
IF you can find accounts that will pay well
IF...IF...IF
Just trying to figure out, as long as they're making claims, why stop at 60K?!!
good grief. ESL saying, "intermittent" LOL
Good grief!!! At least she uses a bb name, unlike...
those (yourself included) who only add a few words in the signature line and never use a "name" twice.
Geesh.
Good grief, you are way off the beam....sm
What is appropriate is that the patient's doctor asked for blessings over this patient's health. What IS inappropriate is *your* interpretation of appropriate and inappropriate. I sure hope you never transcribe my reports and become the filter for or against information that is put in my records!
Good grief. The point is that it
isn't 'whining' to state that MTs have to have much experience & knowledge, and there are a lot of physical effects and mental strain, and considering all of that, the pay is really lacking in our profession. Those are the facts. An IC at 8 cpl is AWFUL pay, by the way. Just because you don't think you deserve any better than that doesn't mean the rest of us feel that way.
Good grief. I hope you are kidding, please. nm

Good grief! Housekeeper in the South? SM
If you are set on housekeeping, I do know people who clean houses for a living and do very well. One woman even went on to own her own business. But in a HOTEL? I'm sorry to say this, but are you nuts?
If your MT skills need polishing, there are different tapes and courses and WHATEVER you can use. Perhaps someone here can assist you.
As another 50 something year old woman, who works for a National, so far I have made $30,000 this year. I realize that is not a lot of money, I'm not exactly busting my behind, but you can make money. Please stick this thing out. Housekeeping is not an option, except in one's own home.
Good grief, charlie brown. nm

Good grief, back to the future. nm

oh good grief - hit by a flying troll
I remember gas 25 c - cruising main street after buying $2 worth Ha, that was after I bought a pack of cigarettes out of the cig. machine for 35c - man o man those were the days when I was cool
Oh good grief. Every company defines
lol
Good grief, hope it doesn't have too many changes sm
If so, we should get our money back on the 2nd, geez! Enough is enough.Some of the 2nd is wrong anyway, leave us alone!
Good grief...multiple personality disorder???
Good grief people, what;s up with all this drizzle stuff??
Good grief. You'd make an employment decision
Honey, you need to get a grip!
Good grief, no. I'm not a mole. I'm not admin or mgmt in any form.
I'm not QA. I'm just an MT like everyone else on this forum.
I'm allowed to have my own questions and curious thoughts.
Good grief.. Fortunately ours is only chasing oncoming cars, so just

Good grief, you started this all. You should have just waited. Xanax to the rescue. nm

oh good grief. Haven't we heard enuf of this? Educated people are just
Good for you! You sound like a very nice and generous person and you deserve all your good luck! nm

Met too! Love them all. I also watch Forensic Files on Court TV.nm
xxxxxxxx
All kinds of cool stuff gets under the nails. Ask forensic scientists.
on workers who have direct patient care - they must have their own nails.
no, you are NOT a sucker - you are a good person
There is always a story behind a story isn't there? The little girl desperately needs some psychological help and I hope she lives in a state that will provide it, if her father doesn't have insurance.
She is hurting big time.
You are a wonderful person to hold out your hand in friendship like that - I envy your neighbor. Good luck to you all.
If you think $14 is good then you must not have been a QA person for very long
That is not good. I make much more than that per hour doing QA. Be careful too because I hear they also do not pay on time.
be a good little person and get off Mom's puter
 
A good HR person would know in 30 minutes

I don’t think I would hold yourself as a good person
and putting God into the subject (you said above you gave to the church- I find that questionable, doubt you attend church and if you do not doing you any good)- back to the subject though- you are a devious person who probably would stop at nothing to get what they want, including knocking folks off for their insurance money.
You're a good person Paulette
and your mother is lucky to have at least one child who is willing to take responsibility and help her. Not that many years ago, extended families were the rule and not the exception. The truth of the matter is that unless a parent dies early, someone (be it a child, grandchild, or an institution) will probably have to take care of that parent (or parents) emotionally, physically, psychologically, and financially. For most of us, our parents cared for us when we were children and when they age the tables turn. I have 2 sisters who are willing to help with my mother but they live in other states and have no plans to move back to our hometown or homestate. Thus, I will be the one who becomes the caretaker.
I think you will have to sit down with your one brother (and his wife if he is married) and ask them for help that is on a more regular basis. Or, alternatively, just call him when you need him to help. Maybe he will get that hint (though he is male and hints go by undetected!).
I hope you find the relief and assistance you need. Take heart in the knowledge that you are doing the right thing.
the receipt function is only as good as the person --sm
receiving it. She is not *obligated* to send a receipt back. most people choose not to. they do not HAVE to. and I doubt her email is encrypted for HIPAA compliance.
I totally agree. He's a very good-hearted person. nm

Finally a good answer to this person's question--sm
I am always stunned at how insensitive and rude some people can be in their answers and some of those below prove that to be the case. Try to remember that not everyone is like that, although it seems to be otherwise sometimes, on this board. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do!
It irritates me no end when a person who supposedly has good sense
to act like a horse's behind. I have tried explaining to an elderly relative I do not put a physician on a pedestel like they do because they are not almight and some downright ugly. The 1 you speak of has no "bedside" manners- the nerve of him! I had a physician tell me 1 time-after giving his word and then rescinding- only your word against mine - I then reminded him of my father's saying- a person is only as good as their word. Erks me big time.
Sounds like a good indicator of a domineering person
Probably best you avoided her, even if she is good.
The top talent isn't always worth all the fluffing it takes to get them to sit down and do their job! lol
Dixie, is that you? You should be the MQ ...
poster child, or at least get paid a little extra for all your corny MQ posts on multiple bb's.
Who is Dixie?
She is a board-certified forensic examiner, Ph.D., and the head of a religious order. She has had several articles published. She is caring, helpful and greatly respected. She talks about her experiences with MQ, which happen to be good ones for her. She also says that if you are not happy in your job, whether it's with MQ or not, you should find another job. Spend some time reading all her posts on the other board and you will understand whom Dixie is.
