grabbing work
i bet it happens more than you think. the supervisor on the account i work has more people than needed and it is getting harder and harder to get the lines.
I just thought you were being polite
Don't let posts like that bother you. I hope others are helpful to you if you need to post for help again.
No different than calling an MT a pig. Not polite
x
so you think polite should be banned as well? NM
.
yes, they are pleasant and polite
as long as you do whatever they ask. Once you start saying "no" they'll become your worst nightmare to work for.
It's a semi polite way of telling someone to
"F--- off".
Hmm, my earlier post, which was quite polite, is gone now.
We'll be having DEER STEAK kabobs for dinner tonight, though!!!!! MMMMM, Bambi on a skewer dripping with BBQ sauce. 
I stopped by the office and everyone was way too polite.
The part where she cut off the clinical diagnosis and then typed "love your chest report, great work!" on it was what sent me into a spin.
The 'unusual' in my post was that I was too polite.
I should have put it this way:
When to put a 'marker' and when to put a 'blank?'
This would not have been 'suspicious' to RUDE, OLD AND PARANOID MTs. PARANOID MTs.
seems like that happens alot
wow, thats awful, and they didnt even tell the employees? I dont understand why companies lately are so dishonest. Do they not know that if not for us, they would not MAKE any money, since most (not all, but most) of managment and company owners are not MT's and would not know the first thing about being one, at least I have found that to be true so far. We are either replaced by off-shore or Voice Rec...how sad!
Yeppers, it is polite if they do give you notice...
but it not legally required unless you have it contained in a contract somewhere.
My ER docs do it alot
I guess it gives them the right to charge PREMIUM prices,  although I
think ER prices are quite pricey enough. My friends trip through the ER
the other night was a cool $10,000 and all she got was an aspirin. (she thought
she was having a heart attack and it was GERD. But to rule it out they gave her
the works; CT scan, CXR, blood work, cardiac enzymes......and on top of that came the doctors (including the cardiologist, oh my) bill.
Love this one...thanks alot!!! nm

but you have to be careful. There are alot of sm
them out there and some will charge you a percentage. If you go to the counseling service that is run by the United Way or something, that is reputable. In my town it is just called Consumer Credit Counseling, but it is a United Way Agency. They don't charge you anything except maybe a 5 or 10 dollar a month fee for "postage and handling" and I don't think you are required to do that.
I have heard folks say it will ruin their credit, but it has been my experience that after you get that far, your credit is pretty much damaged anyway. I had a good experience with them.
Alot of BS probably from disgruntled ex
Perhaps you did not read all the posts, yes I did get alot of negative comments and thank you, but I don't need you to tell me to let it rest. This is a free county, I have freedom of speech and will let it rest when I feel its proper or are you the board medidator? Go ahead its your serve, what witty comment are you going to come back with now, tell me to get a life? That seems to be one of the most popular comebacks.
Alot of companies keep you in QA because
when you're released you start making more money. You probably are doing a good job and would be out of QA with many other companies. I don't remember a patient losing their life because an MT put a comma in the wrong place! It's ridiculous and keeps you from making better money. On the same note, if you get released from QA then you start getting HORRIFIC dictators that keep you from going above and beyond your required line count so you reach an incentive pay. It's a no win situation. Glad I'm weaning out of being an MT and only doing it part time and also work elsewhere! Tired of the B.S.
This job has changed alot
Hi, new here.
I've been an MT since 1997, and there have been ALOT of changes. I went to school for MT and after graduating, I got a job at a company that let me work at home. It was sheer bliss. I could be home with my young children, and made a pretty lucrative amount of money, but reasonably for my clients.
Now, after being away from it for only four years, that seems to have all changed. Outsourcing, voice-recognition, big companies, it's sad to me. Even working full-time, turning over a pretty decent daily line count, I can't make enough to support myself and my kids. Oh, that is, if I could get a job.
sucking up? how is being polite in an email instead of being a jerk supervisor
x
YES, I always like the polite ones. Even if they aren't the best dictators. Makes a difference
.
Yes, sort of. He isn't fast, but he is very careful and complete and polite ...
which can save time in the long run, especially when I'm typing mammograms.
Anyone know what a web clock is?..nm
I use Spellex AccuCount and like it alot. nm

I think alot of people are jumping to --sm
conclusions here about the whole situation, including yourself. You do not know that just because she gave your husband's friend a ride home, that anything happened between them. Since she already had his friends cell number, perhaps he simply left something in her car and she wanted to return it. It could be totally innocent on everybodies parts. She may not even be aware he is married. But any way, that all is between your husband's friend and her. Since your husband told you about it in the first place, I think there is nothing to worry about in that respect. However, your over reaction to it will probably change things between you and him, and calm open communication is the only thing that may change that back. You already crossed the line with a jealous outburst, and perhaps will never be able to cross back. He will always see you in a different light now, and that you possibly do not trust him, and he will be very careful about what he tells you in the future. I have learned through experience that jealousy, anger, and mistrust are the quickest ways to drive your husband to find someone else. Secondly, if there IS an affair going on between the friend and this woman...it is none of your business. Don't confront the friend..don't confront the other woman...and definitely do not call the wife to tell her. If there is an affair going on, she will find out on her own, but if you stick your nose in, and they patch things up between them, you will have lost a friend for yourself, and your husband. Stay out of it. I definitely think you need to sit down with your husband and calmly talk about this. Tell him that you are sorry for over reacting and that you DO trust him. That is the most important. Never bring up the phone call again. Never ask for the number. He probably feels that you will interfere in something that is not your concern and that is why he does not want you to have it...not because something is going on. He thinks you will embarrass him. that is all. Don't start making waves when you are the one who would end up losing in the long run. Trust me...I know. I was jealous and suspicious of my ex husband and all of his female friends. I reacted to every situation with jealousy and anger, and tried to FORCE him to stay with me. If they want to go, you can't stop them from going. I ended up losing him because I drove him away with mistrust and jealousy. He is married to her now, and I hope they are very happy together. I am not angry and I am not bitter. I did it to myself and I take full responsibility for that. I just do not want to see it happen to anyone else, because it can be avoided simply by how you approach things. Take care and good luck to you.
That depends on alot of things...sm
like where you live. Is it hot and dusty? Do you drive alot of miles? etc. I like to have mine changed every time I have my oil changed. That way I do not have to worry about it. Just my opinion.
My take on that is that alot of it is pure FANTASY.
Just to make my minimum lines, I'm working 10-11 hours days, plus at least part of Sat., and am making about $23,000/year. And I'm not a newbie, either - been at it for over 30 years.
I would be kind to them, and polite. I couldn't agree with them or encourage their ideas.
I don't hate them, but I know the true God. He says: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, and a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."
I can't go along with a lie on that magnitude, but I can be kind to the person and show them love, hoping to interest them in the one who loves and has forgiven me.
To get your clock back...
Hover your cursor in that area (taskbar) and right click, then select properties, and on the taskbar tab click to check off "show the clock." That should do it for ya.
I just switched to nights and found I like it alot.
I get a nicer variety of reports so I don't get bored. I keep the tv on behind me but don't watch it. No interruptions, no phone, no kids or hubby, although my kids are all out of high school. They still tend to interrupt. The dogs are sleeping so I don't have to let them out. I do open a window for some of that gorgeous night air. I only need about 6-7 hours of sleep, so I hit the hay when I am done and sleep for around 4 hours, get up and do a few things, then conk out again for 2-3 hours later. It seems to be working out.
I like Laura Bush, She has alot of class.
If we want to get personal about the husband situation, then I mean come on, who can forget all of Bill Clintion's antics?? Ole' Hillary stayed w' him just to further her career. To me personally, When I look at the current Bushs I can see they they like each other, even DARE I DAY IT< LOVE each other. With the Clinton's all you got was cold air from Hillary, but then again who can blame her? But she is the one who stayed......so I don't feel bad for her at all.
THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS!!!!!! Everyone have a wonderful day!!!!
There is alot of fine print to read
in order to receive the bonus. Many MTs don't stay long enough because these companies are usually deceiving. Think about it, if it were so easy to get $500, $1000, etc. everyone would be jumping at the chance. Don't bother, it's a smoke screen
P.S. - I'm alot stronger cardio-wise also
NM
I'd be alot more interested in working weekends, -
overtime, holidays, etc. if what I got in exchange for that actually made any difference. Unfortunately it does not.
Also, don't you think alot of the 'big bux' people say they're
I could get on these boards and tell folks I'm clearing $150K a year after taxes, own 3 homes, and a 70-foot yacht, and who's gonna come check to see if I'm feeding them a line? So that's what I think alot of that '$50-grand a year' is... just a lot of wishful thinking.
Except most secretarian jobs make alot more
Thanks for your replies. I like my account alot but I don't like the pay so that stinks!!
nm
Go team is much more polite than "look here lickstick, do this crap or we lose the account"

She's actually taking meds around the clock for it
Vicodin, Percocet, aspirin, ibuprofen, and drinking. She has a rheumatologist, but its so hard to get in to see him. One of her problems is she is really obese, and his first advice to her is lose the weight, taking some strain off her joints. I feel so bad for her, she shouldn't have to live in pain. She doesn't have a quality of life. Maybe it hits people harder than others. But I would be like you, take a more natural approach so you don't get caught up in depending on pain meds.
I don't trust myself. I set the clock or I know I'd wake up 4 hrs later.

ATOMIC CLOCK website
http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Pacific/d/-8/java
you just have to choose your time zone, and it will give you the currect time.
I get it, "real job" as in you can actually CLOCK OUT AND GO HOME!
I know exactly what you mean.
How do I get my clock back in the taskbar? sm
I removed it long ago and now I want it back and can't remember what I did to remove it! I looked on the internet but could not find an answer. I have Windows XP incidentally. TIA!
sorry... but what is an online punch clock??
i feel so out of it!
Call DELL; they will personalize for alot less money
...and then we'd be on a clock, taking breaks and lunches just like SM
we were sitting in an office slashing throats over the thermostat.
Yes, but I power nap for 10 min (set a clock) and freel great.

What company lets you work off the clock?
I prefer to work off the clock for my extra lines.
I used to have that myself. Feeling dread upon the alarm clock sm
going off. Xanax helps that, too. You should try it. Good luck. I can't wait for this to be OVER!!!
Icon in rt lower screen, by your clock....
Looks like a keyboard and screen, very tiny, set mouse over it and it should say safely remove hardware -- click on it, and it will tell you what peripherals need to be clicked on before removing it. If your peripheral is a USB and it has been installed before -- no, I don't turn my machine off UNLESS, I need to for it to be recognized -- I have an external hard drive that I have to do that with.
Hope this helps
I have a computer program that is an alarm clock for this use nm

Can someone help with Windows 98 time/clock? I'm losing about an hour a day (sm)
I have Windows 98 and the same computer since 1999. I have never a problem until this week. The clock setting is losing about an hour a day. I reset it every morning, but around afternoon, it's about a half hour off, but night, its an hour off, etc. I haven't noticed any other problems with any other programs.
Does anybody have any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it, other than just keep resetting it?
Thanks you guys!
re: post about internal clock, there is a web site address
given to us by our MT leader. I've never tried it, but it's supposed to keep the clock in sync. The addresss is www.clock-sync.com/help.html. This may help you with your problem.
