Yep, I knew it was advice, and I appreciate ALL points of view as it gives me perspective. 8-) I've been reading the boards for a while now, and I realized that I'd get the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that's okay!
However, I specifically asked for advice about how to do it rather than whether to do it, though, as I've already decided to defy the odds and give it a go. 
Enjoyed the NCLB reference, by the way!

Sense of humor.
I have been in the same situation with doctors not spelling out names, etc. I have just quit a national company and have been wondering what to do next. When I read these postings today, I could not help but laugh. Keep your sense of humor as it helps the rest of us get through our days too.
you need a sense of humor
Get over your bad self. The woman was having fun with a difficult situation - most psychologists would say that is healthy.
As far as your sour attitude - glad you're not in my church.
People whose English language skills are very poor should not be doing jobs where they have to give "Customer support" or "customer service" to English-speaking customer - period. They need to improve their English skills.
If you went to India, do you think they would give you a job speaking in their dialect? Certainly not. They, and most other countries, will not hire foreigners to do jobs that their own citizens are qualified to do. The U.S. is about the only country that does not protect the jobs of its citizens.
Did you have your sense of humor
!
not new, just jokin' ....get a sense of humor
Very funny, I have a sense of humor. nm

Because "Jasper" has a sense of humor
And chooses to take this in stride rather than engaging in the usual 'chicken little' antics usually engaged in on these forums, you choose to construe from that that he/she was an inferior employee?
Now I'M laughing...how very presumptious of you!!!
Good thing you got a sense of humor about it.

Thanks for "getting it." Some people have no sense of humor.
I've tried to be friendly and have a sense of humor,
so I just quit..and went about doing my job figuring they didn't have time to socialize. They seem all business... even my QA person, very cut and dry. I've tried joking with her with not much response. I wasn't sure what was expected of me in that respect.
glad some people have a sense of humor :D
Thanks guys! I was only being funny and meant no harm
I guess teaching took away your sense of humor
That WAS advice. The MT industry STINKS right now.
i do have a sense of humor and i like clever and witty satire.
i do not like i love lucy or archie bunker (reruns). i love seinfeld. i hate slapstick sight jokes. do not entertain the thought that if someone does not find what you think is funny humerous they are w/o a sense of humor. i just know smarter guys i guess and can't even relate to the joke but if you can.......oh well. i am sure it was in fun and jest and you meant no harm. as i said it only provides insight into the person who finds it humerous as to what a person finds funny.
peace.
Sense of humor, tells you "good job!" on the hard ones... nm
I just wanted to say that I love your sense of humor with the photo you used! LOL nm

It's hilarious! Shows your stellar sense of humor.

I LOVE a woman with a great sense of humor! hahahaha!! nm

Love Johnny Depp too. He has a sense of humor and is a great actor.
Love his movies.
Puzzling? OP did not find this puzzling, found it AMUSING. It is called a *sense of humor*. LOL

No sense of
CAN'T HELP IT YOU ARE A BIG FAT LOSER!!!!!
I think that is sense

Make sense
She didn't send her daughter off anywhere. The girl was 18 right??? She is an adult and can go wherever she wants at that age. What could her mother do? And how do YOU know if you would shoot your mouth off or not if YOUR child was killed and taken from you? How do you know what you would do?
She will never see her daughter again. Hello, of course she is handling it badly. GEEZ. HELLO??????
Ah, so you know her personally? What I sense from you is
Take a cold shower, Billie Jean! 
that makes sense.

Thanks, of course I used common sense...sm
before I posted and waited until not only after the press release but after the details came out. We were carefully briefed early on on the details of what was and wasn't okay.
My daughter is going out of her skin waiting to hear. She loves history and current events at school, particularly the mock elections, etc. I just think it is a wonderful opportunity to give her this early in life. I hope it makes a huge impression if she gets to go as far as the importance of exercising her right to vote, etc.
That makes sense. - nm
.
ok now that makes more sense.
I believe in spirits too. Animals can sense those kind of things better than we can.
LOL you make sense (sm)
I was just needing to vent so much, and almost gave a little more specifics which would have given it away what happened was very recent.
That makes sense. SM
I honestly don't know what all it entails with keeping up a forum like this. But I think this is the best one out there and I was just worried that something was happening. I applaud EVERYONE who keeps this going. I am sure a lot of us out there does not know what all it takes. Thanks for having such a good place to come to for our profession!
makes no sense
The people in MY area were white and waited 11 days.....so explain that one to me. A disaster is a disaster, and I wouldn't have gone in to do anything with people shooting at me, regardless of color. New Orleans was a sewer anyway, we were only 50 miles from it and never went over there. Our news came out of there and it was non stop murders, drugs, etc. People would come down there for conventions and get robbed, raped, murdered. It was a daily occurrence. It's common knowledge that the murder rate for New Orleans is 800 times the national average. What's that tell you?
Makes better sense.
I agree you should call. Don't stay in the dark about any of it ever. Your health could depend on it. However, why are you furious? I wouldn't be furious. I think your husband is telling the truth, just think this whole thing is silly and a big mess. If the friend chooses to sneak around like the cheat that he is, he really shouldn't involve others to screw up their message along with his. Just politely ask her what you want to know, politely please. You have that right. Give me the number. I'll call her. Just tell me what you want to know. Kidding but if you have a sister or someone who can stay calm, why not?
Your husband would call the number if a guy called your cell#. They can dish it but can't take it. Ego waaay too fragile.
Wishing you the best in your situation but please be totally calm when you do. Innocent until proven guilty.

None of that makes any sense.

I believe what she is saying is how to get relief NOW, since perhaps she does not have the funds to pay them? She cannot very well take a time machine back one year and save up the money now can she?
Well, yes, that makes a lot of sense.

Makes sense, but
Your conclusion makes sense to me as presented, but most MTs are not salaried, though considered employees. So, how do they get by without having to pay OT?
Well, that makes sense
So I guess I should actually pursue that coding course, then. Thanks for the info.
Well of course they do. It makes sense considering that they can't
Keep in mind that the average offshore MT can only produce around 500 lines a day, FULL TIME.
Makes no sense
All of us morons are wondering... Since you are happily employed and if it wasn't for a test... then why were you in such a *hurry* to have that question answered? Why would you need a list?
Doesn't make much sense...and to attack over it?
Glad you got your laughs and your answer.
Thanks - that makes sense.
Oh...that makes more sense
I was a newbie who actually tried, but I know a few who do what you described. It would be frustrating to clean up after "them."

No sense is buying anything until you have a job.
Transcribers are rarely used anymore unless you get a local account. C-phones are still used occasionally, but most work is done using a foot pedal. If a company requires a foot pedal to test you can use Express Scribe, which is free, and just use the hot keys. I wouldn't want to use hot keys all the time, but they are fine for testing.
You make no sense to me. (sm)
Here is a professional discussing a problem with our profession ... and it is a problem. Not only don't you want to talk about it, but you seem offended that anybody else does?
It seems like you are confessing to be somebody who has a lot of feedback from QA, and it makes you mad, and they should stop because you don't care. Are we supposed to think you are smart and wonderful, and we should drop the conversation because you don't like it?
that would seem to make sense
Because you are now having to pay your own taxes. My husband and I figure 30% could go to taxes.
Makes no sense
Yeah, I ran into some of that at a former job - we were supposed to fill in the ordering physician from a huge database, going by doc names that were verbally dictated and never spelled. It was a huge time waster and very frustrating. Having worked in-house in the past, I couldn't believe they didn't make whoever entered the order add that info, which was in print and right in front of them at the time the order was put into their system. In-house we never would have wasted the doctor's/transcriptionist's/QA's time to mess with these. It should always be done clerically on their end, IMO, because they have the patient and the hard copy right in front of them, as well as local knowledge which we of course do NOT have.
That makes more sense!
Express Scribe is used for the audio portion and Scribe (a Word-based platform) for the actual transcribing portion. Yes, you will be able to check your line counts. Welcome aboard...I work for the same company.
This makes sense. Thanks.
Makes sense
Actually, it makes sense in a way. Many women do not have maternity coverage on their personal health insurance or on their parents health insurance. Back when I worked in an Ob/Gyn office, we had to document this because of the date of effective coverage on their new husband's health insurance policy, ie - the wedding day.
Seems like common sense
The negative effects on our health really does seem like common sense. I love the peace and quiet of working nights, and in the days when I used to work graveyard shift outside of my home, I loved going to the grocery store and running other errands early in the morning when places were was less crowded. But, I have to admit that working nights kind of leaves me with less than an energetic, healthy feeling. Through trial and error, the best compromise that I've found for me is to make sure that I sleep at the same time every day, whether or not I am off work for that day, and make sure that I get 5 hours or more of sleep during the dark hours. I've found that the rhythm of this plan has made all the difference, which is no surprise. This, of course, is easiest to do in the wintertime.
that makes no sense.
but i don't think OP has any clue what she's 'hearing.'
Is this not common sense?
I think maybe my first month or so of doing MT I would actually try to look up stuff as I came to it. It doesn't take long to figure out that is the WORST way to do it.
Ahh, makes sense. TY!
Why not? Just common sense.
