or even worse, working for them. Although they're shooting themselves in the foot, those kind of ads are doing US a favor. ;)

The silver lining to that statement is -(sm)
that Microsoft said it, so it's headline news. It draws the nation's attention to the problem. If one of our MT companies made that statement, even to the media, no one would notice. Companies all across the U.S. need to be given financial incentives NOT to offshore (such as fines, taxes, etc.) and incentives for keeping their paychecks in America.
Maybe national attention to the selfish practice of cutting U.S. jobs to send them offshore will help us draw attention to our own situation.
Silver Lining: I ran out of money and I'm smoke free
six days with no smokes...also, lost about ten pounds on an involuntary diet. It's amazing what you can cut out when you're broke...
I wasn't getting snippy...
It sounds like you have your mind made up. So, just go ahead and ask for the raise or whatever. But, I thought you wanted shared experiences. Maybe not... Have fun...
Snippy MTSO Ads
Is anybody else getting fed up with the snippy MTSO ads for help? One in particular said "If you aren't off of QA in a week, then you should not have applied." Maybe it's time we took the business back.
Geez..a little snippy aren't we?
not
Instead of making snippy remarks
offer help...As I see the posts above have done. I never said I was perfect. I am in the process of researching this stuff in the meantime I am trying to get a database of people trying to help and fight with me...When it is done it will be done right..I need help NOT DUMB REMARKS...I can take criticism but not condescending BS...To those on the above posts thank you you made some good points..
yeah, and our elected leaders are lining their pockets--sm
with our hardearned money, and making millions off the war monger toys like tanks, etc in Irag war...why do you think they don't want to stop the war...I had actually heard him say that another year of war in Iraq would produce another 1.3 million in his pocket as he owns company that produces this equipment. we suffer, and he wins, laughing all the way to the bank. geez people, open your eyes to the actual cause of all of this. He also approves off shoring for jobs, thinking it will democratize other countries. He is trying to change the world by our suffering. Keep it home, and fix our own problems before you give millions to other countries. sheesh. sorry...just venting.
I am assuming you are talking about Sheri. What answers of hers are not lining up?
What info do you have that I do not or others? Never heard of you either, American regular MTstarser??? Strange posted by if you ask me.
Outsourcing saves less than claimed
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060413/tc_nm/outsourcing_dc_1
Is this really a surprise to any of us?...
Thu Apr 13, 4:32 AM ET
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Outsourcing of information technology and business services delivers average cost savings of 15 percent, a survey found on Thursday, disproving market claims that outsourcing can reduce costs by over 60 percent.
After professional fees, severance pay and governance costs, savings range between 10 percent and 39 percent, with the average level at 15 percent when contracts are first let, according to outsourcing advisory firm TPI.
"This research proves that the promise of massive operational savings is unrealistic when you take into account the costs of procurement and ongoing contract management," Duncan Aitchison, TPI's managing director, said in a statement.
"In our experience, outsourcing arrangements which focus solely on delivering huge savings often fail to meet client expectations," he added.
Cost reduction remains the primary motivation behind current outsourcing contracts, but an increasing number of companies are outsourcing primarily to improve quality, at 21 percent now versus 11 percent in 2004.
The first three months of 2006 had the largest number of outsourcing contracts ever signed in the first quarter of a year. TPI found that 83 contracts were signed, valued globally at over 18 billion euros ($21.9 billion), compared with 76 deals worth just over 13 billion euros over the same period last year.
IBM, EDS and T-Systems were the main beneficiaries of contracts let in the first quarter of 2006, winning total contract values of 3.7 billion euros, 3.6 billion euros and 1.1 billion euros, respectively.
The pipeline of deals on which TPI is currently advising is led by EDS, IBM and CSC, which are competing for deals totaling 6.4 billion euros, 6 billion and 4 billion, respectively, it added.
AutoCorrect only saves the font if . . .
you check formatted text when making an entry. Otherwise the font is whatever you are using at the time you use the entry. You shouldn't have to have multiple entries just for different fonts.
Now, if an entry needs to be bolded or italicized, then you need to check formatted text for that to come up when you use that particular entry. It's the same for multiple-line addresses - check formatted text or you will get one long line with ** instead of a line break.
Truth be told, AutoCorrect is actually a fine Expander until you get to about 5000 entries. Then it may get a bit boggy.
Please explain what was snippy, rude, arrogant, or insulting in her post.
Sorry, but that's the attitude YOU put forward. You're the one ranting about not being able to find quality MTs. You use the same nickname and the same style as someone who posted the same topic a few days ago. I think you knew that would incite a riot. Maybe the MTs should start an MTSO bashing post and explain the real reason some MTSOs can't find decent MTs. You reap what you sow. If you're only offering newbie rates, you're only going to get newbie applicants. Maybe it's YOU that is the reason you can't find quality MTs.
I'm a vegetarian so not buying meat saves,
but also, the more *fixed* food is, the more expensive it is - for example, if I want soup, I buy the ingredients and make it myself, plus it tastes better and isn't loaded with garbage I don't need like salt and fat.
I don't buy extras - candles have been out for a long time - I have a few in case of power failure, but nothing fancy. I don't have a cell phone, or anything other than basic TV. I buy clothes at thrift stores (which is actually a lot of fun), and I never hang out at malls - impulse buying is out.
Get an extra plastic bottle and pour half your shampoo into it, then fill with water. Most people use way too much shampoo, conditioner, etc - dilute w/water - does the same job and lasts way longer.
If you will search around the web with Google, you can come up with hundreds of ways to save money - most of us buy stuff we don't need simply because we are lazy or we think our every desire needs to be gratified.
It's mostly just excess baggage; it is amazing how good it feels to not need *stuff* to feel good.
the potpourri idea is fabulous!!, plus don't forget the wonderful scent of herbs you can grow yourself to mix with the cinnamon, etc.
Good luck and have fun!
Thank you! That's pretty handy and saves time! nt

Do you have Allow Fast Saves checked on one of the computers?
Look at the save tab in the options on both computers. You need to uncheck fast saves, then both computers should give you the same count.
Yep, handed to them on a silver platter while most of us
nm
No, I expect nothing on a silver platter.
However, I would expect a response to a request for help to be helpful. Otherwise it is a waste of time for the OP, for other people who read here, and for you.
Based on this post and your others in this thread, I think you are the one that does not get it.
To the Geez: You just want it all served on a silver platter, don't you!.
Can't you figure out the rest by yourself? Obvious not! The rest depends on the Window system, do you get it?
And I was not talking to you!
You know what you are? Two things: One is lazy, the other starts with s and ends with d, that's you!
Also got rid of our house phone because we all had cell phones and that saves me about 75.00 a month
or so.
A KVM switch will let you use 2 different hard drives on the same monitor. Saves much space
Check out KVM switch. I used my hospital computer provided to me when I first started with MQ. I used the KVM switch and that way I didn't have to invest in a monitor right off the bat. All I needed was a hard drive to dump the MQ program into. Then I could switch back and forth from one hard drive to the other. I don't know if this is what you are looking for but just thought I'd add this here as it has saved me much money and space.
Sterling Silver and Niobium mainly, some gold -- mainly earrings....
but I want to get back into it, more in silver though as niobium was more of a fad, but I do like to mix the 2 for the contrast and color. That is probably what I will concentrate on, that and hand made chains (complex but I enjoy doing them a lot). If my husband made 10-15K more a year I could probably concentrate on it FT....but he is already at the cap pretty much for his job, so now IF he gets a raise its basically just cost of living. His company sucks for raises, does not give on merit, just gives everyone the same regardless of how good or bad they are at their job (service engineer for electron microscopes). Well maybe in 5-7 years when the mortgage is paid off .......
A really pretty silver picture frame. Its so nice!
