to put your needs first, at all times! In the final analysis they don't give a d*** about the welfare of the MT; it's all about making money. This can be done nicely but it has to be done.

Post your messasge on the Company Board site. The MT community need to know about them.

Conference call??!!! How callous can you get?

Will definitely send her good energy and thoughts. She needs it all. Keep us posted on how she is doing.

Valuble lesson
Everyone can be replaced.

thanks for the spelling lesson....sm

thanks for the Italian language tip. I never said I was Italian-American, though my best friend is. *LOL*

Have a great Sunday!

Learn a lesson quickly...
After 8 years of loyalty, I can tell you one thing for sure loyalty gets you no where.

Whoa - lesson revision
If you are asked to test again for a job, the company needs to specify if test is substance of abuse or banned drugs - the latter being those drugs not permitted for the work/company involved. If you are taking legal meds, Rx or OTC, I'd be quite upset with the company in question esp if they did not clarify in advance that any positive result was considered a no-hire situation. If you were honest up front, so should they have been and also should not have wasted your time. Sorry, stuff like this makes me crazy!

I suppose a good object lesson

would have been, just once, to type exactly what he said, down to every repetition. Wouldn't if feel good do do that just one time? I mean, it would be 'verbatim.'

Often I will go ahead and type both versions when someone keeps mis-speaking: 'The patient was brought to the ER by his friend, his girlfriend, his fiance. He had onset of pain on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, Tuesday night or Wednesday morning....' Hard to tell with some of these dictators what they are trying to change/add/subtract.

So far there have been no QA repercussions over this.

A good lesson is, if you hear something strange, ..sm
Verify, verify, verify. I have been guilty of not doing that many times. Not to worry. I probably could have said it in a kinder manner. Sorry!

In it to lesson annoying contact with the management species.

Good luck on teaching your kids but it's a hard lesson to swallow
if a kid is being made fun of and most kids just want to fit in. No one wants their kids hurt needlessly and I hope you consider this because you really can't change the world's perception of trailer parks. I don't know how it got to this point, but it is what it is and your kids should not suffer for it so you can make a defensive statement against all who have preconceived notions of trailer park people, further enhanced by TV shows.
