That is not very nice, nor is it true

In Reply to: They must, just saw an ad on the job seeker board for it, but - //?
MDI just recently acquired three accounts with Escription, a VR program that is fantastic. We are just getting it up and running, but I am not sure I would want someone with your attitude to be on it. Why don't you inquire to your TL about the Escription platform if you are so unhappy with what you are doing? Our TLs are really good and fair MTs.
I am wondering if you REALLY work for MDI, because you would know this already. If you are unhappy and would like to call me, I am a very patient person and would love to help you iron out your complaints about MDI, rather than you working for me (?) and bashing us on this board.
Thanks,
Liz
I will be in the office all day tomorrow. 1-800-207-7047

How nice is this keyboard? Nice light touch?
I have a regular Microsoft ergonomic one now but I'm thinking I should probably get a replacement and use mine as a backup.
I was nice today, and people were nice to me.
If you steer away from the nastiness, there are a few nice and encouraging posts in there. 
Thank you ghost! So true! So true! More than one person!

Yer crackin' me up! True, true, true! nm

ROFL!! true, so true! nm

true, true but out of about 90 flicks....1 or 2...nm
true, true - but what you see as arrogance...sm
I think a lot of people go the extreme -
so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*). And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way. Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.
Gave me much to chew on :) Have fun! 
True but to say there are no good MTs not true.
asdf
ROFLMAO!!!! so true! so true!
Everybody sees it but her, though! I love it! Thanks for the giggle! ":^)
Be nice
This is just the kind of response people are referring to........ try to be a little less defensive/offensive
Nice!
 Nice! My guinea pig would LOVE you!
Thank you so much! It's nice to know that someone
else believes in those of us who never received formal training as an MT but love our jobs and do them well (my QA score is 98% or better).
Not sure. It would be nice if across the
board all MQ offices would be exactly the same. It would save a lot of confusion among MTs. It seems that every single office has different policies and different requirements. They need to do something about that.
Well nice is as nice does ...
there are some people who would think I was being false and "Miss Nice" if I were to do all the "bless your little heart" business.
I'm matter of fact. I expect adults to be mature and fully developed in their thinking ... instead of the juvenile "OMG, I can't believe I can't get what I want" attitude.
We can agree on one thing...neither of us likes the other one's attitude. Hahahaha
You want to complain and whine like an insolent child. That's your right.
I'd rather throw a little mature advice, hints and tips on how to survive, how to make it, when to call it quits, etc. I'm not sitting on a throne anywhere having no idea what I'm talking about. I've been there and I'm speaking from experience - experiences of failure and success, happiness and discontentment, etc.
If you're over 18, you don't need to be babied. That's what your mother is for.
This is an adult world. Grow up. Be accountable. Be responsible. It's your life. You make every single decision and you are in control. To let anyone else control your life -- that is a choice as well and not a smart one.
You can just keep on sitting here, splashing around in the pity pool! Soon you'll be all shrivled up and prune-like. Hahaha Or, you can get out. Dry off. Decide what you want to do, where you want to go, and get the heck out of Dodge.
Guarantee you -- in 2 years, in 5 years, and more -- the majority, not all but the majority, of the complaining, whining, unhappy MTs will still be here, still on this forum, still with the same song and dance, with the same problems, with the same attitude. Not all, but most. They will be left behind.
That's not very nice to say
I do not think the employees of MDI are treated "like crap and fight for the work".
I am a Transcriptionist myself and I treat my MT's the way I would like to be treated myself.
If you don't know how we pay ALL full time employees' ULD, then you could not have worked for us.
It is truly unfortunate that you feel this way. You may call me at any time to discuss your statements. Thanks, Liz
Nice!!!!
LOL!!!
I am nice!
I do play nice until the other people throw the first punch, so to speak.
nice lie.
Whats this imaginary recruiters name
that's not nice
Hey now, I have an uncle ron and he is the best damn lover I have ever had - do you want him for a night?
yes, very nice.....
about your job with MQ! LOL
Now, this is nice!
Yikes, we must have done something wrong because our posts are all gone . Oh well. Glad we agree on some things. As the saying goes, life would be very boring if we all agreed on everything and there was no such thing as opinions. Keeps life interesting!
Actually, in my opinion, Frankie boy had me rolling on the floor. I know undoubtedly some of his remarks were down right crude, but for some reason the people were just responding to him which just kept him going and going and going.
So glad we understand each other and accept the differences we have. Have a good day!
WOW - It's nice
I work two jobs - a hospital job 10 hours per day and my night job for an orthopaedic clinic (many, many years). I just put my 13 inch from the kitchen in my office. I feel it will come in handy for bad weather, etc, during the day. BUT - at night, this is nice. I am typing my clinic notes with no problem and am listening to the news at the same time.
Usually, I listen to music. It actually is really nice with the news on right now - and I can type like crazy during the commercials!! THANKS FOR THE IDEA!!!
I had thought about it before when we were expecting Katrina, but didn't follow through with it. I'm glad I did it today.
How nice!
Okay, you B-I-G LOSER! Just because you are so unhappy with MQ and they can't cater to your every little need, don't take it out on us because we have the ability to adapt! Perhaps seeing a psychiatrist is the way to go for you. Doesn't take much to realize you have issues.
As far as brushing, flossing, and rinsing with Listerine, I done and did that - NOW IT IS YOUR TURN. Forget brushing and flossing though, just take your bottom and top plate out and soak them for a while!
A car yes, but not a nice new one
I think new cars are things to be EARNED by adults who WORK for them. Saddest story I ever heard, true: Some nice people bought their 16 year old daughter a used car for her birthday. They were so excited about it. The first words out of her mouth: "But it's a used car!"
Isn't it nice...
... that we, as transcriptionists, have mastered following all the "rules" of each client -- and 100 more not mentioned here -- that make YOUR job so easy! Kudos to us. And by the way... you're welcome!
Same to you. Nice having you here.
zzz
Be Nice
You sounded mean and I am not flakey--just trying to help the medical transcription services get quality reports from my students. I have posted about three entries on this site over the past year and have been bashed by people 3 times.....not a good record...although others were very friendly. If there are just a couple of predominately negative individuals here, please remember you don't know who you are talking to...could be your neighbor or best friend.
Wow....that is not very nice....nm

That was so nice. (sm)
It is really important to focus on the good. You know, before all this happened I was confident and cheerful and lovely. I had lots of friends and I was happy. I gave all my power to him. Even over the little things, we still constantly disagree. I realize that he and I are too different to make that "opposites attract" thing happen. I have made some huge steps in the past few days, starting with my confession yesterday. I have also made contact with one of my friends from childhood who is very good at networking and planning. She is one of the people I'm "not allowed" to talk to, just like my daughter's family, but I did and I'm better for it already. Thanks for your prayers. I think they're working. I had lots of signs yesterday. 
lol nice one

Mac if you can't say something nice, please don't say anything at all.
Since you spew so much negativity on this board perhaps it would be best if you just "went back to work." No one would miss you. Ba-bye!
Wow! How nice!
.
Very nice, indeed...............nm
not nice........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........nm
 
Yes, that would be nice, however,
not everyone can do that. I would love to have checks pile up before cashing them but I can't live that way. I have bills to pay, children to feed and clothe. Don't down those of us who can't live as comfortably as you are. At least we are trying to make ends meet. And yes, I have a husband. He is a police officer. He works hard, risks his life everyday and gets paid lousy for it. Give us a break won't ya!!!!
Thank you. That is nice. 2U2

so so nice of you... sm
 i am new to this board and it is refreshing to see nice stories instead of everyone complaining about their jobs. there is so more troubling stuff in this world besides what we do for work.
my little brother (he is 31) is going in for brain surgery tomorrow. the doc found a lesion on his brain last october when he was rushed to the hospital when his girlfriend found him having a seizure in the middle of the night. he was totally blue and not breathing. first they said it was a stroke. the did a repeat scan and the lesion was still there and had not changed in size. they did a pet and there is nothing anywhere else in his body. they finally went in to do a biopsy on this lesion a few weeks ago. they sent the specimen to 5 different pathologists in our area (boston) and no one could identifiy it. so, tomorrow he goes in to have the whole thing removed with a risk of loosing his speech and hearing.
things like this make me just get up and do my job. it makes it very difficult to complain about silly stuff when you hear all these stories. thank you for sharing your story. brought a smile to my face this morning (and a tear or two). i will be thinking of this tomorrow when i'm sitting in the waiting room. thank you again.
Very nice of you but I would not
I think that is a reflection of the MT's work the companies should see...after all isn't proofreading and editing and spelling and grammar a big part of the job? That's kind of scary. Wow.
Nice
Good advice!
BE NICE TO QA PLEASE
I too am an Editor and I am not uppity. The fact is that some MTs are really conscientious and some are not. Please remember that QA also gets paid by the line and for an MT to expect us to finish their report so they can rush through is just unacceptable. When I was an MT I looked things up and now I edit the work of 2 who do and the rest do not. I give feedback and some people listen to it and save the corrections and some just rip through and make the same errors every day. Why are people hostile to QA? I don't get it. We actually had one MT who made a mess of everything and said to the boss "isn't that why we have editors"???? Amazing. Well when she almost lost her job then she amazingly started to type properly. Personally I'd rather go back to typing. QA is very hard and a lot of responsibility.
#3 would be nice #4 even better
So am I totally underpaid? Cause I'm not there.
Thank you so much for being nice! :)
Thank you for advice and well wishes...I'm going to talk to my boss at our next staff meeting and see what she says!
That is nice!
I have one account where I am pretty much the only Transcriptionist - silly, but it makes me feel good when the doc calls me by name.
How nice!
What a great post! With such a positive nice attitude, you will do just fine! Everybody felt "in over my head" when new & it's even harder now for newbies working at home (without the in-house support of co-workers) Good luck!
Thank you, nice to have somewhere to go
to vent, especially when we work from home and nobody I know really understands the stress of this job or what I'm going through.
Yes I did. Nice of you to say that. nm
.
Nice if you can do that but sm
I get some of my voice files by email so I have to keep my email open all the time.
And my lead likes us to keep our IM open in case she wants to get in touch with us quickly. However, I have blocked everyone except coworkers from this particular IM.
Thank you for being so nice. (sm)
Here I sit, not able to work, and IT hasn't called me back after 2 phone calls and 2 emails, and it's really my own fault for experimenting before a holiday. The on-call guy is probably furious.
That was so nice.
I guess some of them do care about us!
Very nice
It helps when they see your face. Kind of like traffic. When the other drivers know me, they are much more courteous on the road. You all have convinced me to dig out my tape machine and try to find some locals who need help. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!
That would be nice....
I do the same thing, open it, click done, then it goes to the next one. Would be nice to program it to operate with the keyboard instead of always using the mouse.
