Ya know, this really bothers me...Let us know how you are...Please
Let us know if you get help. I'm really worried about you. Please get checked. That would be so terrible for something to happen to you. If nothing else, go for your children. If something would happen to you right now, your children would think of that the rest of their lives at Christmas time.
This is something that bothers me too sm
Sometimes, I could swear it is QA people petting their egos by fixin' what ain't broke so that they have a reason to be hired and paid.
You also have to know that most companies won't put their top MT on QA, but they settle for those they feel are qualified. I worked for a company where they told me I would *never* be allowed to QA because I was too important as an MT, so they put a gal on to QA my work with half my experience, no knowledge of OPs or acute care, because she had managed to break both of her wrists in the past year working on the farm she shared with her husband!
We really DO need our QA people, however. In a perfect world, QA gals will strictly follow the BOS2 and account specifics and get off our tails about things that aren't wrong to start with. They will always know more than we do and will gently, respectfully and professionally correct us and teach us. It is not a perfect world.
When I hear stuff like this, I tend to think that if they were such great MTs they would still be MTs. I know that I would not work for the $16 an hour I have been offered to QA when I can MT at more than $30. You'd have to ask yourself why they gave up their stock and trade to *correct* your work.
My apologies to those of you who are QA gals. It is not a slam of ALL of you, just a few of you. I would not be the successful productive MT I am had I not had help from a couple of outstanding, patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable QA ladies.
If that bothers you
then you're really going to be mad when you get an Indian trained in England who has a strong accent and also calls commas "stop" and periods "full stop" and perhaps throws other British names for things into reports. What was getting to me was ESLs who didn't know you could put multiple adjectives for a single noun all together in one sentence instead of making 7 different sentences, all the same except for the adjective. Grrrrr.
Qwest LD
I have news for you, they are monitoring all long distance accounts, even the small business acounts and if you go over 3000 minutes per month (fine print) they will sent you a nasty lette, attempt to recoup all the past charges that should have applied and then switch you to their large business acount and for around 6500-7000 a month it ends up over $400.00 a month.
Did Qwest cut you off?
Have you been cut off by Qwest? Just got cut off by AT&T and need to switch.
I don't know about her, but Qwest
I was using about 7500 minutes a month.
Qwest!!
If you have Qwest where you live, call them now. I have used them for unlimited (no limits!) LD for 8 years. It's a flat $39.99 a month. Before I found them, I did the AT&T/MCI run around, too. The cable LD is a great suggestion, too! Good luck!
Anyone using Qwest DSL?
Looks like DSL will finally be available to me in the near future (am using a pretty reliable satellite right now) - don't know the speeds available yet, 1.5 mbps will be minimum. Anyway, wondering if anybody can attest to reliability, speed, etc. They want a 2-year commitment, of course.... TIA! 
I have Qwest DSL
I love it! I've never had downtime. My husband, who has Mediacom cable internet/telephone/TV has had downtime, which is why, when I married him, I kept my DSL. Its dependable, more so than a cable company through the digital Television companies. When I moved in with him, I didn't do anything more than move a few houses down on the same block, and the Internet speed doubled for free. I was thrown for a loop on how a few feet difference made the availability for even faster Internet connection possible, but I'm not complaining! He loves it so much, that he will use my computer before he uses his.
it bothers me that YOU are experiencing this
You are so funny I expected that joy to carry over in all aspects of your life -
What has changed for me - When I was IC I felt so free - could work whenever. Also, we are all afraid we won't have a job so everything we have invested in this may be going you know where on a handcart. That makes things a lot less enjoyable for me. But, have to say, I love the way you write and I agree with other poster - you should at least try a newspaper column!
I would say your post bothers me, but
I do not see how you can say the postings break your heart. You do not know these people, and whatever they say should never reflect on how you feel. If it were your family members, could understand but to break your heart the way they talk, girl you need to get a little thicker skin. I have compassion for my family, animals, close friends but the posters on here, they do not fit into the above group.
well, it bothers me a lot too anymore.
But, also as a person of faith, i realize that people in India want to work and support their families, etc etc too, as do people around the world. I don't blame anyone for taking jobs available to them. My irritation is with this government, by and for??? the people, with politicians that make it so lucrative for employers to send our jobs elsewhere. Picture yourself in India, with needs like anyone anywhere, and tell me you wouldn't work if given the opportunity. Then picture these yayhoos in our govn't, out of touch with the American people, living quite comfortably, doing whatever seems to benefit them politically or financially, neverminding the American taxpayer who is struggling. Just refocus that irritation and then let them hear from you!!
I use Qwest - $25 a month. nm

Question about Qwest.
Do you happen to have the residential "Choice Unlimited" plan that actually has a limit of 5000 minutes per month? (That's less than 20 hours a week.) Have you ever gone over that limit and if so did they do anything about it?
Thanks.
Qwest kicked me off
Look at the fine print. Their "unlimited" is just like everyone else - only unlimited if you can prove you are using it for person-to-person calls. They kicked me off.
it bothers me too and Nancy Grace.....nm
yeah, it really bothers you to hear mention of God
but why is it that i should be tolerant of all your 'information' but you cannot of mine? That was a tiny part of my post. But no, if it has to do with God, there is no tolerance of that. Yet we are to be tolerant of every other ill of society and immorality, but you cannot tolerate the mere mention of God...as far as as that goes, on this board, there is the mention of food, politics, emotions, venting, company information etc -- did you notice there are boards for them too? But if i dare to mention God, i am supposed to go away...sad sad sad.
It wasn't me who sent that message, but it bothers me as well. I do have better things to do - sm
than click on messages that say sm when there aren't any messages, and now I have to click on all the ones that say NM because people don't know that means no message.
I'm not being rude about it, I'm trying to help as I truly don't think everyone knows what sm and nm mean.
I checked into Qwest, but the fine print says if you use more than 5000 min per month, it will .. sm
be reviewed. Their business rate is per line, and comes out to $500 monthly. That's the problem with my current company. I figure I'll be using at least 10,000 mins per month. Can't get Verizon here. Any other suggestions? TIA.
