Go troll elsewhere.
I know your posted wasn't directed at me.
I wasn't being argumentative with you. However, the difference between $20 as an IC and $11.50 as an employee could be the insurance, retirement and employment taxes your company pays for you. I don't know if the people complaining were ICs or employee status. Honestly, I'd take either one right now! LOL So... is your company hiring?
Sorry, 'MT way too long,' my post was not meant for you, it was meant for Wow! Sorry!!...nm

Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post
Sorry
Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

Thanks for the post. This is exactly what I needed. Wasn't sure exactly how to figure. Both are

Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.
Wasn't there a post on here about letting companies having you banking information

What I meant to post above
From somebody in Houston.
Well...
I feel sorry for these people - they have lost everything - they have nothing. I blame their own government at least a bit for not evacuating the ones that were too poor or had no way to evacuate.
That being said, it isn't going as well here as the media makes it out to be. Anthony has been down the to the Astrodome as required by the Fire Department, and I went down on Saturday with a friend of mine.
The Astrodome holds around 50,000 people - and there aren't that many evacuees down there. There are bathroom facilities, but these people are squatting on the streets, parking lots, and lawns of places down around the astrodome and leaving behind urine and fecal matter. They are throwing trash wherever they are when they finish with it, and quite a few act like we "owe" them something. I can't tell you how many people were bitching about the MRE's that they were being served.
As high as gas prices are, I will go out of my way not to have to drive by the Astrodome (my RE's office is about 1 mile from the dome). When you stop at a stop light they come up to your car and beg - and knock on the windows. There have even been reports of some jumping in the backs of pickups and even scratching cars and trucks with knives, if you don't give them money.
I know that there are some good people out there, but there are a lot of bad ones too. There are some that were appreciative of the baby formula (breastfeeders - please don't jump on me here) and diapers and coloring books that we were handing out - and some that were bitching about the brand of diapers, the fact that we were only authorized to give out one can of formula per child and that we didn't have a certain kind of bottles. I even had people that refused to take gift cards from Grocery Stores - wanting money instead.
Last night, one of the evacuees was able to score some alcohol somewhere, got drunk and carjacked a car and ran into several parked cars - the police were able to pull him over after a 15 minute chase.
And I can't get over the smell of raw sewage in the area of town that most of the evacuees are housed. The plumbing in the toilets are working just fine - but they aren't using it. They are trashing the place.
I can't imagine what it must be like for them, having nothing but the clothes on their backs - but I think I would be more appreciative of whatever someone could do for me, instead of griping about what kind of bottles they were giving me to feed my kids with, and that the MRE's were cold.
I really have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I feel sorry for the people who couldn't leave, and got stuck in the chaos. I don't have as much sympathy for the ones who could have left, but didn't want to.
I am sure I sound like a cold, callous, b****, but I was absolutely amazed at the attitude of most of the evacuees that I was in contact with on Saturday.

I had my post under the wrong one. I meant it for the other one just above yours where sm
they said they are paid on production. I saw yours and I did understand yours, but somehow I guess while I was reading it, I responded to the other one.
Sorry about that! I too made much more per hour as an MT even if I made $25 as QA, but I am vehemently opposed to QA being paid per line.
Post was meant to be helpful
so why do you want to turn it into something ugly?
It sounds like you have not had very good luck lately, but by the tone of your post, you sound like a very scary person. Brush-up on your people skills and maybe your luck will get better.
meant SM, there is a message in post above.

That's exactly what I meant - then whole post got crazy

I MEANT the one above you is a good post
nm
What??? Above post meant to convey no

They meant in OPs post. We don't know what kind
So people shouldn't assume anything is anti-Christian about the question.
Believe it or not, only now I understood what you really meant in your post,
you meant that she should pose as an Indian, then she would be hired, that's funny!
I just wondered why you felt it necessary to point out that the OP had posted the same post before.
It's the equivalent of rolling your eyes and saying you've heard this before when someone is telling you a story they've told before. The polite thing to do is listen again. Not tell them, you've told me this before.
I wrote the post and I am not offended, I took it how you meant it.
and like I said.... I love warm milk, drink it almost every night.
The post was meant for Professional MT newbies
We agree and thank you for your comment. It really was not necessary and somewhat unprofessional in my opinion. It certainly does not further the cause of professional MT operators/Entrepenurs.
Someone once said "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions..."
SORRY. meant for MTSO post below. Must be Sunday
My only night off. Big old brain cramp here! 
Enabling post not meant for OP, just Peidmont.

I meant to post the "angry" icon

You are the Sharon who posted above correct? The post that kyradmt responded to?
To the service who posted a job ad on the Main board, the reason your post
was removed is because all job ads are to be posted on the Job Seeker's board. Any "well-deserving MT" knows to look at that forum for that "chance to work for an excellent company and make an excellent line rate". Feel free to post your ad there.
Thank you.
oops meant to post this on MQ board. I really am stressing out. (nm)

Excuse me - I meant to post this on the company board.

sorry, i didn't read your post before I posted mine...says the same thing, pretty much! :) nm

I meant it in a good way, and I will not turn this into a huge ugly post.
I am not a "paranoid mass of jelly", for Heaven's sakes! But I have lived thru having neighbor children try to poison my puppies over our fence in similar circumstances - not identical, but similar. These same kids used to stuff picked flowers in my mailbox, and I never knew how to take it. I just asked that she be extra cautious. Obviously you ladies have been blessed with not being confronted in life with strange "encounters" like this - I have, and have tried to learn from it. There used to be no more trusting person than myself. I have learned, though, to be cautious in situations like this - not paranoid, just cautious. Wisdom, some would call it? For what its worth, my sister is a psychiatrist, and she thought the flowers creepy as well, but in a different analytical light - with her mother's and sibling(s) death of late, and her expressing that she wanted the puppy killed, to my sister, she said they could be symbolic of flowers on a grave. Not paranoid - she's nearly 60 years old and deals with school-aged kids on a daily basis. Her "job", so to speak. Again, probably a 100% innocent gesture, but to those of us who have had encounters with the "children from H*ll", it could be eery. My post was meant out of genuine concern for Puppy Mom!
I meant to answer your post earlier, but I've been trying to catch up on
housework before school starts. I cannot WAIT for school to start. I'm so tired of the kids' bickering and attitudes this summer. They've taken to ignoring me whenever I ask them to do anything. I threaten them with grounding, loss of privileges, or slave duty. Then they bicker about who did more chores or who made the mess to begin with. Instead of cleaning up after them, I leave it sit until their Dad gets home. If they don't want to listen to me, they'll darn well listen to him.
They are usually really good kids. I think it's mostly cabin fever because a lot of their friends went on vacation or stayed with their biological Dads for the summer. The kids are so bored. I'm just so tired of it every summer. I have all these grand plans for finishing work early and doing something fun each day, but I get the same garbage every year. Too many kids over here, too many interruptions, too much bickering, too much mess.
Let me tell you, I'm celebrating on the first day of school. I'm going to the coffee shop and buying a big mocha latte. Then I'm going to sit there all by myself and read a book. On the way home, I'm grabbing lunch for myself and watching a chick flick by myself. No McDonalds either.

Even when MQ was down this site never had this many visitors.
have a right to my opinion.
isn't it the posting by the visitors here that determine the web site's profit?
just a curious question.
Ooops, sorry. My last post said "head head." I meant "her head." Sorry.
cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...
I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies. Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...
We have one cherrypicker on the account. Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course. She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad.
But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time. I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.
What would you all do? I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account. In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.
My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....
I have been doing this forever as well, but
never thought to work toward a half daily goal. I work in 2 hour increments in that same manner, but find that in the morning that first 2 hour break comes too soon. I don't know why I didn't think to try a 1/2 day goal, other than after doing this forever I may be "stuck in a rut." By the way, great post!
YES!! always and forever LOL nm

the same jobs in the USA forever!! nm

No way! It took me forever to figure out how to get - sm
my DOS Smartype to work (MTSO still uses WP 5.1), couldn't imagine the nightmare of figuring that all out all over again. Every Windows has had tons of bugs, I'd rather wait 2 years until they are all worked out, plus it will cost a lot less then probably. I plan to avoid it all together if I can.
Yes you can, took me forever to figure it out - sm
but I have my WP5.1 and Smartype on mine. Had to change a few things in a couple files and change a BIOS USB setting, but works great. PRD will work to, go to the Columbia website and they have it all mapped out there how to do it. You just have to do about 3-4 things and it will work.
Nothing is forever....see message
But it's better to go from good to bad than from bad to worse!

It SHOULD TAKE FOREVER if the person is doing nothing but AMERICAN
dictators and YOU ARE DOING THE OTHER WORK THAT IS LEFT OVER. FOREVER IS A LONG TIME.
CONSIDER THIS: Your source and your manager don't like you and are going to let you stew by feeding you information about this Indian person doing all the easy work and letting you pick up the crummy work done by Indian dictators. And as long as you keep doing this, they have no motivation to change and the Indian MT walks away with your money.
Have a nice day indeed. Sounds like you have had a rotten couple of months and you are wasting your have a nice day on me. I'm doing great dictation, picked up a huge bonus this pay period. Don't waste wishing nice days on me. I make my own thank you.
got it, DUH. havent typed a Pap in forever.

It should work, I have Smartype for DOS, took me forever to - sm
figure it out (tried on and off for a year) but finally got it to work. The Columbia University site has wonderful info. on how to get the DOS programs to work with XP. In the end all I had to do was change a USB setting and my Smartype works fine with my WP5.1; and my systems settings/BIOS have not been compromised because of it. I have PRD too (not on disk though) but have not tried getting it to work but I am sure it is something similar in getting it to work.
