ROFLMAO - I rest my case LOL
Mentoree made to feel DUMB
I am so angry because I feel like the lady at this company I am mentoring with treats me like I am DUMB. I am new to this field but far from being DUMB. When I ask for clearity on something it is like her response is demeaning. I don't know if it is just me or it seems like there are people in this field that are just rude. I don't want to appear ungrateful for have the opportunity to have a company mentor me but I AM NOT DUMB!!!!!!!
I don't what to snap back at her in her emails for fear of losing the opportunity. Any advice?
I made a little foam heel rest so I can have my shoes off
otherwise, can't feel the peddle.
But, in our case, 'credentialling' hasn't made ONE IOTA
In fact, just the opposite has happened. It's just a pocket-lining scheme, and nothing more. We had plenty of respect and a decent income back in the day when we had no 'CMT' scam going on. It isn't being credentialled I have a problem with - it's the group claiming that it's 'necessary', who is trying to get it mandated, and who would ultimately PROFIT IMMENSELY if that were to come about. But would WE profit? Nuh-uh. It hasn't made being an MT (credentialled or not) a better or more rewarding career, and if fact, just the opposite. So I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that if they were to succeed in making it mandatory that only CMTs could work, that those MTs would derive any viable benefit from obtaining the title. Most likely things would just get worse.
OMG I can't see through the tears!!! Absolutely hilarious! Made my day...thanks!!!
common sense dictates you read the writing on the wall. technology has made you obsolete.
and the government has seen to it that american workers are no longer necessary and allows business to outsource many middle income jobs.
I absolutely agree with you. You've made it grammatically correct
hope this all comes through.
Your change is much better than the one suggested below which totally changes the sentence and would not be correct in my opinion.
I wouldn't use lower case. I'd use upper case. Don't worry about it. nm

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!
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
Absolutely, I absolutely love my job and

I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
All I can say is rest when you need it and - sm
listen to the docs. I, personally, have not had cancer but after dealing with my 5-y/o Wilm's tumor (kidney cancer) this year, our family has been but through the wringer. Jen handled her chemo great, lost her hair with 2 treatments to go (had 14). Kids are great about that though, got a little self-conscious but after a few minutes in a new place would forget she had no hair. I got her a couple hats for the sun and for her to feel better too. Painted her head one day, had fun with it. She had good days and bad of course, but for the most part handled it all very well. Just had a clean ultrasound and chest x-ray today, yeah! She looks like a little boy now, with dirty blond hair (was an incredible shade of red before), with now the roots growing a new color, a strawberry blond/red, really pretty. So if you do lose your hair it may grow in different (probably will). Jen's was very fine before, now it is a lot thicker, still straight as a board though as it was. You may lose some weight too, but after chemo is done you will regain it once you get your appetite back. Best wishes to you and feel free to email ! 
Just take out 1/3 of the mix so far and add only 2/3 of rest
nm
If she's like the rest of us MTs out there...
She's doing an excellent job and just wishes the docs would WAKE UP and start doing the same. Docs ARE incompetent for the most part, and that's sad. But you go ahead and think they walk on water, honey. When they amputate the wrong leg during your operation, you'll be the first to scream, LAWSUIT!!!!
How is this different from the rest of us?
I haven't said this before, but I've been thinking it. So the suits only think about the bottom line and the doctors don't care whose jobs go overseas as long as it isn't theirs. How are we any different? How many of us cared that textile/garment workers jobs went overseas? Until the lead paint scare, how many of us cared that toy making jobs were going overseas? Do we stop buying the latest electronic gadgets, not to mention computers, because they are virtually all made overseas now? For the most part, we didn't worry about those jobs, so why would anyone care about ours? Wal-Mart, K-Mart and the other low-price retailers push their suppliers for ever cheaper products, and plants overseas are the best suppliers. Have we stopped shopping there, or is price all we care about, too?
about themselves? Help the rest of us
I think it is wonderful that you are making so much money. Why don't you help the rest of out and share your secretes? Please...I need all the help I can get at 7 cpl.
Upper case is lower, lower case is upper. Using InstaText. Anyone know how to fix this?
Aargh. It happened all day yesterday. When I brought in text that was all caps
IMPRESSION:
and had lower case on keyboard (as always do), it reverses keyboard commands. This is driving me c-r-a-z-y.
Are you that dumb to know that there were sm
prisoners also at the Superdome in New Orleans. You act like everyone was a rapist, or trigger happy. As far as looters, if I had children and there was a bottle of water and bread in a store damn straight I would take it and feed my children. Many of those people worked and lost their jobs in LA, AL, and MS. You are just a bitter person.
not as dumb as you think?
Cabbage=CABG
Coronary artery bypass graft.
No, not dumb! Actually, yes, I did. None of
the buttons work though, just the calc/clear button (very top right on the bottom bottons) work.
DUMB-DUMB
Okay, I downloaded Express scribe, when I use the load button and enter the FTP address, nothing happens. I must be missing an obvious step, so obvious I cannot see it. I hope this is all worth it!
dumb me... but......
Applying for jobs that state much have WAV pedal.... USB will not work... so what now? Am I screwed? I have a laptop and went and bought an adapter for a 9-ping foot pedal. Is there a web site that I can go to to do a test practice with? Dumb-me. trying to get a job......
Maybe a dumb
question but are you talking about the "Gab room" for the chat?
how dumb are you to even go there?: NM
.
ok, maybe I'm dumb but
what is an STM? "Something" transcription manager? Are you by chance inundating her with requests or is it that she just does not acknowledge any of your e-mails? I don't think I'd put up with being ignored for too long. I'd seriously consider going over her head or looking elsewhere for work.
The rest of the world
Thinks Americans are suckers. We help everybody, give money away to everybody, and then they all turn on us. I'm beginning to think they are right-- we ARE suckers! Maybe it's time to tell the rest of the world to take care of their OWN people and problems for a change.
Why? Except for the rent all the rest is the same everywhere.

But then how will you be different from the rest of the kids?
foot rest
 So do you put both feet and the pedal on the foot rest?
Foot rest
I also would like to know if anyone has an idea for a foot rest. I also have swollen feet at the end of the day. I looked at my daughter-in-law's foot stool for breast feeding and thought it might work since it is slanted. Off to Google this and see what I can find.
foot rest - sm
I found mine by Googling foot rest. You'll find lots of them, all shapes, sizes, and prices. I think mine came from Fellows, but cannot remember now. I love it. No more backache. Good luck with your search.
rest in peace!!!!

Don't know what it is. :( Can you rest them on a heating pad in your lap before and while
s
I agree with the rest
Run, do not walk, away from this account. One day you won't be paid at all. I would rather not get paid for not working than not get paid because somebody kept the money that I had worked for.
When typing, do you rest your --sm
wrists on the keyboard tray or hold them up in the air? Am having arm pain and have tried both ways but do not notice any difference.
Get some well-deserved rest (sm)
you are NOT a machine! Take some time and rest up, especially if you aren't feeling well. No one should have to endure that in this profession. Helping out is one thing, being taken advantage of is another. Get Well Soon!
Would you give it a rest already?
The "compliment" (not complement) was meant for the person who correctly identified this as a pyramid scheme..
And would you give the "His hand was with me" hoo ha a rest? There are plenty who fall for this type of manipulation but I hope that none of them are on this board...
please go troll elsewhere.
OP could do like the rest of us----- research,

OH PLEASE give this a rest!!!
I VOTED FOR CLINTON TWICE so I'm not a hater per se. That said, AFTER the fact I started educating myself about the facts with regard to U.S. POLITICS. Its enough to m ake you RETCH.
BILL CLINTON had plenty of SUPPORT for NAFTA, and WE ALL GOT THE SHAFTA!
Before you start saying Democrats are better than Republicans about this or that issue - do some research: THEY ARE THE SAME party!
THE WEDGE ISSUES ARE THERE JUST TO KEEP YOU DISTRACTED!
BOTH PARTIES ARE CORRUPT TO THE GILLS - why are AMERICANS SO AWARE OF THIS yet also so willing to keep supporting only these 'two' parties!
I just don't get it. If you know you are being scammed, why do you keep buying their lies?
can't speak for the rest of them
I know one MTSO who was going to put on an ad and has backed off with what has been going on with the ownership of the board. I think it's just like the number of postings being down - people are on here but are hesitating because they're not sure if everything is okay. I think if you give it a little more time you'll see more and more ads come back on as people relax about the board again.
SHE'S SUPERWOMAN! WHILE THE REST OF US...SM
just have to roll with the punches, which somehow have eluded her.
Are you able to rest your arms?
Maybe arm rests? They helped me for a while until I started getting carpal tunnel symptoms from not having my hands properly positioned (due to resting my elbows on my arm rests). Needless to say, got rid of the arm rests and after a while, the pain just went away (both in wrists/hands and shoulders/back). However, I do have quite severe knots if you ever feel my shoulders :)
Just take what you want and leave the rest! :D nm
.......
give it a rest already, she already had 2 other jobs

Size of foot rest - sm
I got a large one - 17 x 20 - because I have two foot pedals to use (different platforms) and they both fit on it side by side. I can adjust it to slope up from the floor in front to about 3-4 inches (or more if I want) upwards. The top of the foot rest has a rubberized mat to keep the foot pedals in place, and the base of the foot rest is heavy to it doesn't move. The brand is Fellows, and I paid about $49.00 for it...and I think well worth it so far. If you Google foot rests, and look on Shopzilla, you'll find lots of them - different sizes and prices and styles. Hope this helps.
fortunately for the rest of us who dO want to discuss this,
