No, I'm not Sheri.......but........
You asked this on a public forum. Do you honestly not expect any kind of response from others? Are you so single-minded that you actually believe that? Gimme a break.
You may choose to celebrate or not celebrate Christmas Day as most living humans do. That is certainly your choice. No one told you NOT to. So, why in the world would you post something like this, in this period of goodwill toward our fellow man, here?
Why must there always be someone who wants to start a conflict? Can we at least call a truce for Christmas, for Pete's sake? (And, yes, I know Pete and he has given me permission to use his name involving "sake"!)
Sheeesh.......
Thank you, Sheri.
There is so much subterfuge and backstabbing with some of our jobs these days, that it is rare and refreshing to have someone come and explain their views in a professional and thoughtful manner. You are right, I guess it is inevitable that offshoring is here to stay...it just makes me feel really sad when I see what has happened to our industry. We never did really receive the recognition that we deserve for the complexity of our profession and now, any faint remainder of dignity is completely gone. I am just downhearted about the whole state of affairs. Where does one go after wasting 30 years of one's life in a dead-end job? I'm tired of fighting for the respect that never did materialize after all....
Thank you Sheri for not catering in....sm
to the small percentage of people that have decided to try to take CHRIST out of Christmas. Gimme a break. I got an e-mail from a friend who recommends that everyone who believes it should be CHRISTMAS, not "happy holidays" or "holiday tree" etc. to send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS card and tell them to leave our holidays alone. Their address is: 125 Broad Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10004
If people who want to celebrate CHRISTMAS flood them with cards then they'll have to open them - after all, they want to see if there are donations in them, correct? Let them spend some employee time opening cards! Also I wonder if the ACLU employees are required to work on Christmas? How about New Year's? After all - I'm sure that with every federally recognized holiday that someone out there is *offended" and therefore the ACLU should never be closed right???
For anyone who reads this and is offended by CHRISTMAS - I supposed you're volunteering to work on December 25th so that those who do celebrate it can take off correct? I get tired of people stating they don't think we should celebrate CHRISTMAS but yet they're often times the first people to request to be off on December 25th. Double standard!
I'll get off my soapbox now and get the fingers moving again!
Question for Sheri (only)
I am only interested in her response, since she is the moderator, and it is her response that will decide what I do next.
If I respect anyone who celebrates December 25th as a religious holiday, will I receive the same courtesy in return (to not celebrate it as a religious holiday)?
I haven't celebrated December 25th as a religious holiday since I was a kid. I don't see it that way. I've also used the "Xmas" spelling since my early 20s, along with the spelling of G*d, and "JC."
Will I be allowed to post my messages with these spellings, or can I expect them to be blasted (like last year) or deleted?
Like I said ... I'm not denying anyone the right to believe as they do. I'm only asking the same courtesy in return.
Sheri from MT stars
Sheri, I just wanted to let you know that I have not received an e-mail giving me a chance to draw from the gift bag. I made a donation using paypal on December 2nd and have not heard anything. I do have the reference number for verification.
I'm with you 100%, Sheri, and am very proud of your

Why are you speaking for Sheri?
Who made you team leader of the hijack news? This gets more strange by the minute. I feel like I'm watching an episode of LOST.....cause I'm LOST!!!!
Paid, thanks to MT Stars and Sheri
I had an issue with an MTSO who had ads on this board. I contacted Sheri (board owner), who made haste in getting in touch with the MTSO. As a result, I was paid today.
Many thanks to Sheri and MT Stars for your support, concern and willingness to get involved!!!!!!
Thankful MT!!!!!!!!
WAY TO GO, SHERI STEADMAN!! I just now saw your post
a
Merry Christmas, Sheri!
I'm tired of all the anti-Christian sentiment in this country too.
Is there a reason you answered for Sheri
I think *that* shows a lack of respect for someone. I also said Sheri ONLY was to answer the question (because she is the administrator of the board).
And in terms of "when in Rome do like the Romans do ..." Just call Rosa Parks.
Hurrah for you, Sheri. I agree!!!!
:)
Sheri, can you at least file a claim
for the automatic $100 of insurance UPS has? I know it won't help immediately, but perhaps you can recover something.
Sheri...does that mean that the job seeker's board will have sm...
companies posting jobs that off-shore transcription? I am trying to find an office that does not off shore due to the difficulty of the reports left over for the US MT, so I need to be careful if that is the case. Thank you!
I think that's a very fair compromise, Sheri. nm

I got the cool T-shirt! Thank you, Sheri. It was a pleasure to participate. SM
I commend you on making the world a better place!
how do you know for certain that Sheri is not an honest person? and Dr. Ahmed is from Pakistan, the
or is there any owner here. No one answers any of my questions. I have been posting all day.
I am assuming you are talking about Sheri. What answers of hers are not lining up?
What info do you have that I do not or others? Never heard of you either, American regular MTstarser??? Strange posted by if you ask me.
I disagree. I think the site was sold to Sheri and she was screwd
deleted because the new guy doesn't want people to think maybe she's right and he isn't. I still think if Sheri put her phone number on her site then maybe she's telling the truth.
I've read the statement; think sheri sat on this and lost it for both of them out of spite
matches her personality.
That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

Any rose gardeners out there? Good roses that are disease proof and smell good?
I heard good things about Knockout Rose but they don't smell too much like traditional rose. Supposedly blooms all season.

Agree with other poster.. good price..good service
I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..
Expensive is right -- around $300 per credit hour! But they do have a good rep. Good luck! nm

Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm
but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live. I also live in a small town so that limits my options. I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT. The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations. With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that. I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.
Thanks for all the responses.
8 is NOT good if never going any higher - good to get the rust out in the short term though

Is the dictation quality good, are the dictators good, are you
a newbie and you still have to look up lots of words .... The very first day I typed, with absolutely no education way back when, when you didn't have to have a degree/certificate or previous experience, I typed 665 lines. This was without an expander and I was not a fast typist. I can do 1000 lines in about 4 hours now on average.
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

You have a good, realistic attitude about it. Good luck to you. nm

So? Take the good will and good wishes and smile. When the first day of Hanukkah comes up, SM
have a doughnut and a latke on me. I'll wish you Happy Hanukkah then. You know we spread Christmas out over a month!

I am sure MQ will change their policies now because of the actions you took. Congrats.
Yep, a good MTSO will get rid of the crappy doctor, not the good MT...sm
unfortunately, there aren't many MTSOs out there who will confront a poor dictator and nip it in the bud to begin with.
In the old days we used to do this all the time. A doctor was put on report and told to shape up and if he didn't he would either be charged more because they had to pay an MT more to do his lousy dictation, or he was always given the option to do his own reports if he wouldn't comply.
Believe it or not, almost every physician my former company did this to straightened up their act became good dictators and found that it was actually less stressful and less time consuming for them too!!
The MTSOs just don't have the guts to do this anymore... and they should. I can make more money on good dictators with a lower line rate than crappy dictators at a higher rate, and would rather have the better dictators and lower rate than the other... it's a win-win for both the MT and MTSO because the MT is making more money per hour and the MTSO gets to pay less for her MTs and make a better profit. I can't believe the MTSOs haven't figured this one out.
This is not a good choice. There are too many good schools
that have proven their worth. Andrews, MTEC and even Career Step, but I would not choose a school that has spammed the internet in every crack there is as the one you have mentioned. Find some graduates and see what they have to say. Go to mtchat.com and do a search of this school.
Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.
I really wish you good health and good luck!
I know that what you are doing is a major undertaking. Just remember that this is what you want and that you CAN do it! It won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination, but once you have accomplished it, you will truly know what you are capable of. I think you are very brave. Please know that all of us are pulling for you and are here to help you if you need it. Go to the hospital if you are feeling at all unsure or unstable. Don't give up because the reward will be great. Please let us know how you are doing.
Pulling for you!
good for you; you'll get more from it, with good socialization,

Very good...very good answer. Right on the money! (nm)

Without too much effort?! A good yard sale takes a good deal of effort, IMO.

Company newsflash: THOSE WHO RETAIN GOOD STAFF RETAIN GOOD CLIENTS
Hight staff turnover = high client turnover if you don't pay attention.
The good old days were not so good for me. sm
Transcribing from tapes on a Selectric typewriter with 3 or 4 carbons and white out, no spellcheck, no expansion program, no internet for research.
I agree! To be a good MT we must take the good with the bad!
It sometimes takes longer to learn ESL docs and is a pain in the butt, but all that does not kill us makes us stronger!! I don't love doing ESL docs by any means, but if I want a job - I need to do what my employer asks of me. Take the good and bad - or find a new job! I applaud you for working with your MTs, but you really shouldn't have to! I have only been an MT for two years and I cannot imagine telling my boss that I am not willing to learn something. How rude!
Oh, that's good! Cruel, but good! LOL!

Good for you. Good enough reasons for me, too!
