I agree with all the nastiness!
A LOT of the MTs here are very nasty, when it comes to newbies, especially! People get frustrated with inconsistent QA and all they can say on this board is, "do your time! we all went through it!" Well, that is NOT an answer. They go around the original post and say that we "don't want to stick to what we are told by said employer, don't like corrections or criticism," when nothing could be further from the truth. We just want CONSISTENCY with QA corrections! Is that so hard for some people to get that through their thick heads?! How can one EVER learn, with inconsistency w/o going nuts?! And one particular nasty BI&*H on here (not mentioning names, she knows who she is) had the balls to tell one newbie to quit this field!!!! How freaking low is that?! I too, thought this was supposed to be fellow MTs supporting fellow MTs, but that is not the case, with some people! A place to vent, w/o being bashed! Good MTs trying to do a good job, and just asking for consistency, there is nothing wrong with that!!!!!! Maybe these sour grapes of MTs need to get out of the business, or stay off of this board, because honest, good MTs like us, do NOT CARE TO HEAR IT! Keep the negativity to yourself! The old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything," still rings true!
Please, I am begging, stay away nasty people! If you don't have positivity to offer, or nice things to add, then DO NOT POST!!!! Telling people looking into the MT industry not to do it! I agree, this wasn't the best thing to get into as of recent, but I ALSO agree with giving newbies looking into this field the pros and cons of this biz, and let THEM decide for THEMSELVES!!! And yes, there are PROS, for you negative people! Not everyone has the same goals in life, and not everyone needs to earn the same amount of money. Let people weigh the options for themselves, instead of just replying, "Find another career! This one sucks!" Give them both sides, not just YOUR opinion!
Okay, I feel better now! I will go cool off for now! 
A big thank you to all of the nice, friendly MTs who visit here for their help on words, insight, etc. It is much appreciated!
Have a great weekend!
I think the nastiness used to be diluted more
I have come to this and other boards off and on for many years. There have always been a few who prefer to bash than to provide honest information. Now it seems like they are the majority of the posters. I don't know if it is because we are all too busy trying to make a living to contribute or what.
Heck, it would seem that with 300 users here at any given time there would be more input. (I tend to be cynical about that number, though.)
I guess I'm as guilty as anyone for not contributing enough. Maybe we lurkers should take over, eh?
I'm not sure it is all nastiness, but maybe immaturity perhaps!!?? nm

i've noticed it as well - nastiness... nm

Golly. All that nastiness directed at someone who agreed with you?
You're the one who didn't want anything but nicey nicey. Sometimes the truth isn't nicey nice. Sometimes the truth doesn't have bunnies and flowers. It's all part of the rich tapestry of life. If I'm wasting your time, just don't read my posts. Call me a child if you want. You're the one having the tantrum.
Not just here, but on other forums
people have nothing better to do that trash others.
FORUMS!!
Tired! Yes, I spent "forever" over there. Those are truly special and I found myself "lost in the forum world" and before I knew it over an hour had gone by! Now, the trick is to save up some quality time to learn what I want it to do for me, what I already know and how it applies to that program, and then learn what I need to know and USE IT! Do you use it with IT? I think I want to go over to those forums again right now and I need to stop myself because it is 11:15 and I have to get up early! I don't know, but I may stay up all night if I dare go there! I saw where someone on the forum wanted to import their glossaries and other lists and had trouble, but do you know if you can save your glossaries as text files and import them that way like in RN? I really miss DOS too, and find that finding paths in Windows is not too straightforward in every case, but still am looking forward to finally letting go of my "obsession" with PRD and DOS. I guess I am old, but still it worked so well and it wasn't "broken" so why did they change everything to Windows stuff? Could you hear the whine in that? Sorry! I need to shut up now and either go to bed and get sleep or go over to that forum and learn stuff! Thanks again for making my entire year with that advice!
Yes, distractions such as forums are
real time/line-stealers. I'm not working today and have some online research to do so I'm here today more than usual.
Good luck!

There is a new site for Billers/Coders.

Does anyone know of any legal transcription forums
This issue has gotten out of hand. See the available forums to
the left and if your question or comment fits in any of those categories, please post there. Perhaps you do not understand how the back end of discussion forums operate, but simply put, when one forum is jammed with posts it bears heavy on the server. This is why we have a variety of boards to choose from.
Thread locked.
Any word on why we have no forums at the left yet? nm

I have seen the forums in the left colum all along.
It is a javascript. Do you have javascript enabled?
I just think boards/forums are a place to hit
Did you try going to the general escription forums?
Is it Willie that moderates it? Anyhoo, someone in there asked about getting a USB adapter a while back. Maybe one of the techs can help you. I would LOVE to be able to use my laptop with a pedal.
Trouble with links on these forums anybody?n/m

It is hecka good. All over the geek help forums
I've got it on trial right now myself, and it has cleaned up some stuff for me that AVG, SpyBot, and Ad-Aware passed right over.
First free trial of something on-line I've had that I think I really am truly inspired to buy after all (whenever I can afford it).
I've used it. There are a ton of knowledge base forums out there
where you can research your results.
Do a Google search for comments on other forums. Don't think they

There are several forums to post on at the Religion link.
I wouldn't call it "fragmented". The poster can ask his/her question on more than one religion board and receive a variety of responses in which to make an informed decision.
Here are 2 good links for Lap Band forums. sm
www.obesityhelp.com
www.wlsforum.org
And they can by either posting on the Religion forums or contacting the Administrator.

All ForuMatrix forums are owned by the same company. The songs that were

As per your request, Pets and Entertainment forums have been added.

Someone please tell me what I need to change in NAV to get the left sided links back for the forums
I found over the w/e if I disable my Norton Internet Security and go to Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files and click on Delete All Off Line Content, and choose ok, I can get the links back on the left (in the blue area) but they won't stay. I assume I need to change something in Norton's Internet Security, but what?? Does anyone know? I have tried lots of things and can't seem to find what it is that will make this a permanent change as it won't stay this way.
Please help. TIA.

You pay 100% attention to work while SM
you are working and get someone to care for the baby while you are working. Same when it gets bigger.
Pay attention to the above post...sm
This lady knows what she is talking about....not that the others don't. When you allow the Lord to have reign over your life and let Him love you, things do turn around in ways we could never imagine in our own right. I wish I had realized this 8 years ago, but sadly I did not.

strange
I should have paid attention,,,,
I got approached about possibly doing the transcription for a local doctor office - 4 doctors. I have DSS player and they have used DSS system before, but how would I get the files from their computer to my computer. Could they load them into a folder and then winzip them and sent to me? Is there an easier way?
I know this was discussed before. I had no idea then I might get this opportunity, so I didnt pay much attention to the post.
ATTENTION TYPISTS!!!!
Back in the 1980s there was a doctor in California who used to start each dictation with the command, "ATTENTION TYPIST." He was a real peach. He had no friends in the transcription department, I can assure you. Later on, when I graduated from college and was an RN he had the gall to call up the nursing station and demand that one of us "girls" get over across the street to his office as one of the patients we had cared for in the hospital the previous week had gone over to his office for an "office visit" (that was because he was so pompous that he did not wish to see that poor patient in the hospital). The patient while in his office "defecated" on his carpet and he felt that was our "job" to clean up after incontinent patients even if they were in HIS office. I swear this is true. We told him he should call a cleaning service. He blew a gasket. I guess it could have been worse if we had the Chimpanzee guy. I think I would have knocked him in the head after I sued him for harassment. I saw down further where someone hoped he was a now a patient. Me too and I hope he is constipated and no one gives him a stool softener. I hope when he rides in the ambulance from the acute care to the rest home that he overhears the ambulance attendants refer to their call as a "lizard run." I hope someone puts cornflakes in his bed. I can't stand pomposity! I hope he is roommates with "Attention Typist" - they might actually understand each other.
Attention Administrator
When everything hit the boards a few days back, you (well, whoever is running the board these days) stated that if anyone had a problem and wanted to leave this board, send a message and write "unsubscribe" in the message line.
I did that and just did a test post to see if you unscribed my email address.
You haven't.
I think everyone here is watching your actions and I expect you to unscribe me. I am posting this in public as you failed to respond to a private email.
Attention Moderator
Kindly delete any of my posts that you feel the urge to edit. I would rather you delete than skew the content and purpose of my communication caused by your editing. Of course, it is not necessary for me to participate on these forums at all.
hang in there, pay attention
Just hang in there. Pay special attention to every report, especially the errors you have done in the past, and follow your account specifics exactly (keep a copy next to you) Practice makes perfect.
Someone called it to my attention
that I should use the term offshoring instead of outsourcing. We use the word outsourcing at my hospital so this didn't even occur to me. So just wanted to address this:) thanks again!
People, please pay attention. This isn't just one person
that had a personalty conflict of whatever. Everyday there is someone else with a valid issue.
no problems. you must learn to pay attention as you go along. once is enough.
btw, if it is a very difficult person to do i will listen twice in the course of transcription and then flag it for QA.
sounds like he needs attention and is afraid
Good for you. That's really all we can do is call their attention to it.

I posted this to get the administrator's attention
Thank you.
Attention QA people - PLEASE READ :)
I'm fed up with the company I work for. Can any of you who are HAPPY with your QA job tell me what company you work for? I have been looking but it's hard to know which companies offer :1) Decent pay; 2) A relatively flexible schedule; and, very important 3) Appreciation! I would like to find a smaller company as I work for a very LARGE national company (can you guess who? lol) - I'm sick of feeling ignored and invisible and would like to work for a smaller to medium sized company that actually values its employees. Please, don't say you can't tell me who you work for - I really need some guidance here! Thanks.
Awwww. She just loves you and wants some attention. sm
I have one cat in particular who always hits the keys. When I see her coming, I have to roll my keyboard drawer back under the desk or my transcription will look like this or get signed off prematurely. zzzz zzzz zzzz zzz zzz zzzzz zzz zzzx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
