you screwed up and you know it. you missed the point and you know it.
the jokes on you. hey i'm am more than happy to have the router give you the hard stuff. whatever. i got bills to pay and when they route crap to you, i keep the good stuff.
it's not only in actions
but also in thoughts and emotions that you can be unfaithful. Stop when you can and remember your vows if you want to hold on to your spouse.
What actions can I/should I take when contractor will not pay?
I did some IC'ing for a company, and they have not sent my $ yet for the last 2 invoices. They say they are going to send it around the end of the week, but just in case, I want to know what steps I should take because I WILL get my $ one way or the other. They are located in Houston, Texas. Does anyone know about the court system there and what are your opinions on what the next step should be for me before I sue them--which I do plan on doing if I do not receive my $ by early next week. I do not want to waste a lot of time waiting. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
my feelings and actions exactly!!! nm

Is there a way for me to go back and see what actions from the previous
week went for? I have something identical to an auction and I had been watching it, although had not marked it, and it ended today and I want to go back and see what the final bid was and then also would like to go back a week or so and see if there were similar items auctioned and the final bids.
to find out what actions your state
on oursourcing issues http://www.nfap.net/researchactivities/globalsourcing/
California has several bills that speak to this issue.
I think insur. tries to get by with shifty actions

I would take responsibility for my actions and I would not call citizens of the country
criminals if there is no evidence to hold them and I personally have no evidence to present to the law to hold them. I am not one for the spotlight even without grieving for the loss of my child. I certainly would not get up on world-wide TV and insult the people conducting the search and investigation for my missing child. And I would not be in the frame of mind to get all made up with glitter eye makeup and false eyelashes to tell other countries not to accept "criminals" who the legal system did not have evidence to hold. She is a loon.
Auctions - not actions. Need some sleep. TYVM for the info. nm
got screwed
First I was with MQ, and I think that explains itself, left there went to radiology co, who gave the department the heaveho for VR (nice severance package though), then went into office, pulled transcription and acted as backup, way overqualified and missed being at home, now am working backup for 2 companies, one of which everybody loves, but the owner hates me and bust me down to 7.5 cents per line fr 10 cents per line because I was not keeping up with 5000 lines weekly. EVERYBODY loves the quality of my work though, no where to go but on my own. Thanks
How did you get screwed
Just wondering how you got screwed? I run an MTSO and I am always wanting to know what MT's like and don't like. What company do you work for?
Terry
screwed
My answers tell me that I am screwed if I lose my job. NOOOOOO!!!!
This board is all screwed up..sm
I can't read the beginnings of posts because it is going into the blue part on the left hand side. Can someone fix it?
Most newbies ARE screwed.
I personally know two people, one of whom I mentored through her training program, who could get jobs in the field. No one would let them get a foot in the door. So I understand that frustration from that point of view, because these people have had to count their training money as a loss and go on to other things. I was so sad for them, and angry at the penny-pinching MT profession as it is today, which has few opportunities for in-house training for new people to learn what they need to know to succeed.
I think a lot of the bitterness you sense is really toward the big companies and the direction that the profession has taken. There is no place anymore for newbies to learn and "pay their dues" the way many of us had to do it.
I also agree with the poster below who said this is something that is in EVERY profession nowadays. My own father was pretty well forced into retirement, and yet they had the nerve to call him afterwards trying to pick his brain because his successor, half his age, couldn't figure something out. (He informed them of his consultant rate, take it or leave it.) As the other poster said, you find it in teaching and other professions, as well.
Man you are getting screwed. What a slap in the
face that is. Even though none of us are probably making any more than we did 10 years ago (taking into account cost of living) that is just an insult. Glad you are leaving.
I got screwed - and the management was not the greatest - sm
I just didn't feel like I was part of the team... and I do like to feel that way... my opinion... not to mention I got screwed when I decided to move on to another company... I never got reimbursed for my internet services, they tried to make me PAY for a computer that I never needed and never received (mine was the right format), AND they tried to say that I owed for a footpedal - which I had already purchased one two years before working with them - not worth the bother really.... I would recommend OSi or DSC
HELP. My husband screwed up my toolbar
how do i get it back down where it used to be? The start menu, etc.
People are screwed up in this world. Too many
people think the govt should take care of their every need. Got my subscription of people magazine yesterday and reading the stories of the survivors. A lot were very said but on the first page of the article there is a picture of a boat filled with people that were rescued from their submerged houses. What is in that picture? In the bottom right corner, a woman in a wheelchair holding a Budweiser beer. If my house was under water and I'm screaming for help the last thing I would want to grab is my beer. My pictures, my important papers maybe but not my warm beer. This hurricane is making me mad so I have to stop watching the news. Saw a guy on the news the other day who said the govt better give them the same big checks that the 9-11 people got. Ok, changing subject now and going to watch nick at night before I get mad over this subject again.
Turn it over and see if the screws are screwed in.
and then and then I have trouble with it - but I can't say that it's stopped working COMPLETELY before from that.
Screwed up Medical Records
My sister went to the hospital after a car accident and was there for about a week. I told her to get her medical records because things had been such a mess while she was there - she had someone else's x-ray reports - reports of things she never had done - part of her H&P and part of someone else's - and just plain sloppiness and incorrect information all through her chart. And then they charge us for our MR. I have in the past gone and paid over $200 for my records and then promptly gone to the bank and stopped payment on the check - it was worth the $15 stop payment fee but not the $200.
Toth screwed me too years ago
I am terribly sorry to hear they are still at it. I worked for Toth for about the same amount of time as you had and they screwed me out of the time plus over $1,000.00 in pay. I never saw a penny of it. I tried to have the shut down. I presented a ton of evidence to Labor & Industry, as well as the A. General, but with no luck. L & I said I had a case, but because I was IC they didn't handle it. Told me to get a lawyer. Lawyer told me, I had a case but probably would only come out with 1/2 of what they owed me minus fees from court costs ect. I cannot believe they are still pulling this same scam. Are you a newbie? Toth was my first job. What a mistake.
What screwed us was the fact that our work - sm
is the only one of those three fields that can be offshored. Nursing can't because the physical presence of the nurse is needed. And the same for court reporters. I would be very interested to know if any of the court steno-notes are outsourced to be transcribed, or if the CR does it herself. If they cn be outsourced, I wonder if it's legal for any of it to go offshore. My bet would be a resounding NO. And I'm also willing to bet that even if the CR can hire someone to transcribe her court notes, that there re very strict rules about where that information can go. That's why I'm adamant about plugging that huge leak of America's confidential medical information. Not only because it's morally wrong to offshore it when Americans need the work, and because of identity theft, but also because of ech medical report's potential as a court record. Someone, somewhere, needs to be made aware of that. Maybe it's time to start talking to people involved in the court system, to get their feedback on that issue.
that post was not mine..screwed up posting.

It screwed up my computer. Now I use online references

Comcast is apparently all screwed up across the board.
I have been having trouble with accessing some websites, but not all. My clients are having the same trouble so it would seem that Comcast has a major problem on their hands across the land. As an FYI, I'm located in PA. What about the rest of you?
Norton fried my old computer, totally screwed it up....this was 8 years ago though...hopefully its i

If government is involved, it will be as screwed up as the Medicare medication program.
Heaven save us from all these wanna be kings that sit on top of the hill.
I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm
nm
The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
I've been screwed over by the big phone companies too, but once you switch to a business line,
a lot more options are opened up to you. Talk America has an unlimited long distance business line for $49.95. I've been with them for over a year now. I also tried calling cards, which are an even bigger rip off.
That's not my point. My point is previous owner hired
nm
not my point, actually. My point was the bigotry is the same.
The bigotry's always there. Not all "Mexicans" are Mexican, nor are they all illegal. My point is, though, people used to make remarks about cabbage smell about the Irish just like comments are made now about how nasty Mexicans are.
Every time somebody says something about "those people," something bigoted is coming out. That's all I'm saying.
A point well taken. However.....sm
...on the other hand the June Cleavers of the past had no alternatives. The liberation of women over the past half-century has given us the strength and self-reliance to walk away from an abusive or dead relationship or marriage.
I see your point quite clearly.
The FBI has consultants over there. There have been search teams from day 1 and also a search team from Texas. These people have cooperated with US government. They are also conducting an investigation of one of their citizens who more than likely has rights not to be interogated by a foreign government. You seem to think these people are illiterate and stupid. You have preconceived notions from the media and Mrs. Twitty that the Arubans are protesting, which is this country is like a third-world country run by idiots and keystone cops.  So open your mind and think things thru. Our government has messed up so many things in its own right (sex offfenders lost in the system or set free for example) why would you think they could get this right?
The point is?
"Can you believe there is trainee from India, living here in the U.S., who has been training on my primary account for the past TWO months at least....the problem is all she wants to do are the good American dictators and she is ALLOWED to skip, pass over, cherry pick past her own countrymen's bad dictations."
You have a high up source in your company who told you this? Why? And this issue has not been discussed with those in charge? Why?
What platform is this Indian in America working on that she can cherry pick past her "countrymen's bad dictations"
The only reason I question this is because it would be very ethical for this high up source to be telling you this and if you get mad enough you could blow the whistle. But since I have no dim-witted unethical high sources in my company who will actually tell me there is an Indian MT who is living in America and for two months has been "allowed" to cherry pick I couldn't fathom how you could possibly have this info.
So you knowing this is probably not good for your blood pressure or your high souce informant's job security. What's the point in you having this info?
another point sm
we have failed to mention that working at home can be VERY isolating. Sometimes I go for days and the only other adult I talk to is my husband. If you're on your own, you need to make sure that you stay in touch with friends and family, or else you can become very isolated before you know it! There's a lot to think about when it comes to working at home, these are just a few of the issues being discussed here! 
I see your point.
I'm not afraid of my kids, and I am their parent, not friend. I just don't want to completely isolate them from the world. I don't think controlling behavior is healthy because it can backfire and cause rebellion. (Personal experience.) There comes a point when you have to turn your kids loose in the world and hope that all of your parenting sticks with them. Meanwhile, I was just wondering if there were any nice kids left in the world, or if I'm just overly anal or judgmental.
I let these kids on my property, but I'll admit that I'm tired of having to watch them so closely. I correct their bad language, call them on their lies, check pockets before they leave, or hide things so nothing gets stolen. My kids aren't the Hitlers, but I don't see why I have to be so diligent with other peoples' kids. And no, my kids and I are not perfect. I just don't know where to find "nice" friends.
your point
I'm not. Only 3 more days to go....
exactly the point
It they want to honestly get a picture of the procedure increase/decrease since the induction of DEP/ASR they need to look at an ENTIRE QUARTER BEFORE these were institued and then compare it to the most recent completed quarter(or any quarter since that time). I come up at a 10% deficit, not at the 50% increase as they say. Yes, they are taking only one week and comparing the MT week from that week with the ME work from that week to decide that ASR has increased us which is bogus! Don't just believe me, prove it for yourself and call the help desk phone number on your letter.
Well you do have a point about that..
but I think another requirement at the Wal-mart here is that you have to hate life and everything about it. I swear it seems like it would kill these people to smile. When they hand my kids the sticker I wanna hand it back and tell them they apparently need it more than we do.
Come to think of it though...I think that's a requirement for alot of jobs..fast food places..customer service...the DMV. Go figure
and your point is?
You're a college drop-out doing MT?
Yes, I see your point too.
We are going to consult a behavior therapist. Some of it also is that kids are exposed to so much violence and bad habits that my son tends to be a follower. Apparently, a child hit him in the privates and he turned around and did it to someone else. He has never done that before, but guess who gets sent to the principal's office. my child..the "problem child".
So what is your point
Are you saying that they never fill the positions or what? When you make a statement like this, can you please explain what you're talking about?
the point is for her to do it on her own.
research yes. ask others, no.
that's exactly my point
why CAN'T you remember what you named his physical exam? because you have no system. it doesn't matter how much time passes before I get that same doc again. I know what I named his physical exam, his review of systems, whatever.
What's the point
in punching a time clock when there is no work to be done? That is... unless you get paid for that time that you are clocked in? Our time is worth money too. Right? But in this case it is my understanding that you must clock in; however, no work = no pay. What gives?
And my point is this.....
This is very similar to what is going on in the MT world. Hospitals are cutting costs by shipping the work overseas and Americans are losing jobs. Wal-Mart does business the way they are doing and they are taking jobs from Americans by forcing companies to lower their prices and then they can't afford to make those products in the US anymore. The two industries are very similar--am I the only one seeing this????
I have friends who work at Wal-Mart, too, and I also have friends who work at another local grocery store, Kroger. The difference is that the Kroger employees make a LIVING WAGE. That's why I shop there. Sure, I'd like to save money and not pay a little bit higher prices, but I choose to support a store that actually pays the majority of their employees a living wage ($9 or $10 as a bagger, $10-12 as a check-out person vs. minimum wage) and doesn't force companies to rockbottom their prices so low that they have to have their products made outside the country.
Honestly, we can't solve all the world's problems on this forum and I understand that. The problems with outsourcing and what is going on in corporate America are so much deeper than this issue with Wal-Mart. Everybody is free to shop wherever they want, but I just want to try to make my point as to why I choose NOT to.
That was my point, thank you. sm
Nursing, x-ray techs, nuclear medicine and ultrasound techs, respiratory therapists, physician's assistants, paralegals, the list goes on, and not all are even Ph.Ds. Well, anyway, if I were way younger, and the industry was looking then like it looks now, I believe I would be considering my options very closely.
You have a point there
Well, I guess our leaders are either plain stupid for allowing it to go on or have there hands out somewhere along the line.
So, what's your point? - sm
How is it her fault that you are single? I really don't think the point of her post was so that anyone would feel sorry for her situation. Sorry, I just don't quite understand your bitterness.
