glad some people have a sense of humor :D
Thanks guys! I was only being funny and meant no harm 
Sense of humor intact! Sense of hope as well! LOL
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.

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.
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
m
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.
We got that point the first day on the job. People still need a little humor
Puzzling? OP did not find this puzzling, found it AMUSING. It is called a *sense of humor*. LOL

I don't know about "getting away with this."
I travel frequently and very seldom take a non-working vacation. My platforms and programs are downloaded to my laptop. I take my footpedals and anything else I need with me when I hit the road. However, my supervisors know I work when I travel, and they are fine with it.
If your company has a policy that you must use their computer or a policy that forbids working away from home, then I would not try to get away with anything.
It's not a matter of "getting through" to her...sm
Everyone who smokes KNOWS it's dumb, it stinks, and is possibly going to kill us. All the negatives have been pounded in our heads for many years. It is just a matter of "deciding" to quit. Noone is going to talk someone into it. Probably when her health gets bad enough, she'll do it.
I think you see the humor
or you wouldn't want to keep communicating with me. I think you love it!
lol.. thank you for adding humor to my otherwise
nm
LOL ! Mustang, here you have your humor...nm

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
I liked it!! good to see positive humor! ..nm

Specifically the Good Humor
ice creams bars with the chocolate candy surprise inside! Do they still make them? I may have to chase down an ice cream truck. Oh, do they still make THEM? LOL!
*humor* at the expense of one's sexuality &.NM
I think we were all kidding! Sarcasm - dark humor...
nm
OMG! HAHA! Do they have a Humor Board? You could lead it! nm
nm
The Good Humor ice cream truck! They still
sell some of the products in the store, but it is nowhere near as good. The vanilla ice cream bars covered with toasted almonds! The half and half popsicles with flavors like rasberry and lime that were SO fruity! The Good Humor man in his white outfit! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It was great! 
Jeesh right back at ya - it was meant for humor! sm
Forgot there is no humor here, but I do keep trying! I'm a frustrated standup comedian, what can I say. LOL!
The point is the post was a JOKE... a little humor!!!
People do that. And complaining about those that post on the message boards -- is that not the pot calling the kettle black since you apparently enjoy this as you have posted multiple times today? Others here are free to speak/read just as you are. You are also free to hit the red X button on the corner of the screen if you are in any way unhappy about what is posted.
dictation humor - got this from MTSO web site
>>>This is a collective from Medical Interview Records written by various Paramedics, Emergency Room Receptionists, and (We are afraid) a Doctor or two at major Hospitals.<<<
The baby was delivered, the cord clamped and cut and handed to the pediatrician, who breathed and cried immediately.
Exam of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized.
The skin was moist and dry.
Rectal exam revealed a normal size thyroid.
The patient had waffles for breakfast and anorexia for lunch.
She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life until 1989 when she got a divorce.
Between you and me, we ought to be able to get this lady pregnant.
The patient was in his usual state of good health until his airplane ran out of gas and crashed.
I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for physical therapy.
The patient lives at home with his mother, father, and pet turtle, who is presently enrolled in day care three times a week.
Bleeding started in the rectal area and continued all the way to Los Angeles.
Both breasts are equal and reactive to light and accommodation.
She is numb from her toes down.
Exam of genitalia was completely negative except for the right foot.
While in the emergency room, she was examined, X-rated and sent home.
The lab test indicated abnormal lover function.
The patient was to have a bowel resection. However he took a job as a stockbroker instead.
Occasional, constant, infrequent headaches.
Coming from Detroit, this man has no children.
Examination reveals a well-developed male lying in bed with his family in no distress.
Patient was alert and unresponsive.
When she fainted, her eyes rolled around the room.
The cause of this diarrhea, however, has never been solidified.
Pain is rather constant; exacerbated with changing physicians.
The patient had no chess pain or shortness of breath.
The patient is allergic to Quinine. When she takes it she gets a rash and then whelps.
I am not miserable, I love my job, all is well with me, but gross tacky humor is just that.

Guess you're not ready for grown up humor then.
My goal is to eventually add commentary and humor/satire/etc...sm
I'm not talented in all those areas and hope to attract other MTs who are. There's no money in it at this point, unfortunately.

Glad someone found humor in that question because I hadn't....until now)
Hayseed, you crack me up! I LOVE your posts & your humor!
:)
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?
I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.
So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).
We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?
I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.
I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.
Go take a deep breath and think about that.
My people skills are just fine. I just want to hire people who want to work.
I've not been ugly, I've asked questions, legitimate ones. Please tell me what is wrong with that. This site is not just for MTs, it is for QA Editors, Supervisors, Service Owners, there's even sections for Billers, Coders, and Nurses.
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm

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