This post made you defensive, just like those e-mail nastygrams make us feel.

These threads always make me feel inadequate... I'm not about to post...
 "Uh, I dunno.. I'l sling the freezer open at 6 oclock and toss some fish sticks and french fries on a cookie sheet and slice up some fruit."
Seems like everybody is so gourmet....
Defensive people make the most errors
I bet... if you are good you would be quiet, if you are a bad MT you will blast poor QA lady all day.
Not defensive at all, but if you read the post,
:negative reinforcement:, to me that reads abuse. I just want to make it very clear I have never abuse any of my pets. That's all. I am not trying to be defensive at all and apologize if that is the way it was taken.
your post sounds kind of defensive and gay.
get over it.

Feel free to e-mail me privately. I
am by no means a techie, but I've BTDT so can at least point you in the right direction.
If you do have a power outage, unless it is a catastrophic outage that might affect the cell towers, then yes an air card is the only thing that would work.
A laptop battery if new will last maybe three hours, but the more things you do on it the less it will last. If you are surfing the net while working then it uses more power, so even in a power outage a laptop may not be a saving grace - but, you can get an inverter that you can plug into the cigarette lighter in your car and it then gives you a outlet that you can plug your laptop into or a cell phone. You can find them at Target for about $15. Can probably find in a computer/electronics store too. We have a large one that has 4 plugs. We can even plug in the crock pot and cook while we're traveling.
I'm sorry you were made to feel like that.
People really have no idea what we do. Even though our career is unique in certain ways, do remember most people's careers do get insulted by people who have no clue they are doing it. But even though I try to stay level-headed, having my older sister say anything negative about my job tends to put me in a terrible funk. She thinks it's okay when I'm working in an office, but she doesn't think it's wise to work at home due to the lack of social interaction and the difficulty of compartmentalizing your work time. When I decided I had to do it at home again, right away I warned her to say NOTHING negative about it because this is my decision and it will only cause problems. So far so good for me this time. Hey, a friend of mine took up karate when her son did, and she got her black belt. Now nobody critizes her anymore, LOL.
Thank you! You made me feel much better.

Feel free to send me an e-mail via this board

hate how you are made to feel
 so obligated to buy, buy, buy. I used to do it for a friend to help her out (she put pressure on me and I felt guilty!) but no more - I don't bother going now.
Mentoree made to feel DUMB
I am so angry because I feel like the lady at this company I am mentoring with treats me like I am DUMB. I am new to this field but far from being DUMB. When I ask for clearity on something it is like her response is demeaning. I don't know if it is just me or it seems like there are people in this field that are just rude. I don't want to appear ungrateful for have the opportunity to have a company mentor me but I AM NOT DUMB!!!!!!!
I don't what to snap back at her in her emails for fear of losing the opportunity. Any advice?
I feel people who feel like this post
needs to a) either be a stay at home mother and not work or b) realize that she is no queen bee and I could care less about a degree. What company out here that you know of compensates for having a degree? Means nothing to them. Your working and being there when they assign/need/require/whatever is what you should do IF YOU WANT A JOB in this field, otherwise get out and do something else or become that babysitter.
I have removed negative posts made by those who seem to feel the need to
Christmas by making crude comments about something fun we do every year at Christmas time.
Thank you! That is all I wanted was someone to understand and be kind! You made me feel better with
future and get better, just BAD luck so far.
Make appts on the phone too, get the mail..
calling a friend is a good one, especially if they dont want you to smoke! I quit when I was pregnant too, no problem.

under your post, it says Reply By E-Mail
when they reply, they don't know where it's going, they don't actually have your personal e-mail address. They are just replying by e-mail to the post.
Like I am saying, what I made years ago and what I make now
sooooooo much different. I do not have to raise a family though now and my quest towards making money is not like it was at 1 time. IF I HAD TO support a family, I definitely would not go into this business now or I would plan on working as I did in the past, 2 full time jobs, then I could make ends meet. I am so glad money is not the #1 thing anymore that drives me.
E-mail me. I typed out a very long post, but having
computer issues and I lost it. I've traveled for 5 years and can give you lots of info.

Well, I guess your post you made
way down towards the bottom of this page was not quite true, under the "straw that broke the camel's back".....thought you were doing really well with your MT work and your big bonuses? At any rate, I do hope you find something that makes you happy; burnout absolutely does happen; been there done that too!! 
Yeah, that post made me
laugh too, but for other reasons. Actually, I have the sweetest, nicest lady who works morning at McDonald's. Always so cheerful & quick. The afternoon shift is a bit surlier though - lol
Oh he reads this board alright. I used to post my e-mail in my posts.
I use to post on the offshore board a lot. He took the liberty of writing me and telling me his opinion several times. I finally just blocked his e-mail. He reads here.
This might not make you feel better, but...
I certainly feel your pain. I do 20 to 90-minute reports for psychology. Saturday, my dictator got through about 15 minutes before he realized that the patient he had been describing as a woman was actually a man. He'd even said her "husband" when describing the home life. I had to go back and change she to he, her to him, hers to his, and all the husband info to that of a wife instead! Yes, the patient's name was unisex and it's easy to get mixed up on the first couple of lines, but to describe the spouse and not catch it before then?! I guess he recalled the visual on the mental status exam. LOL
I'm sure this won't make you feel any better, but...
I make $35-$40 an hour. All of my business has come to me through word of mouth because, apparently, the quality of my work speaks for itself. I set the rate, do the work, and go to the bank. It works very well for me and as well as for anyone who is skilled and willing to work.
You make me feel better..
I have been feeling bad the past couple days about making my sister upset. They think I am too down on their son, which is WAY off mark. I am down with the way they have given him this gift (car), and how he takes it for granted, and how THEY cannot see that. They bought it brand spanking new, and he had it trashed the first few weeks with cigarette stink, never cleaning it, etc. They would drop little hints about how he should maintain it.... but they hate conflict so there you go. By calling this a gift and allowing him to do whatever he choses with it is merely them taking the easy way out. My sister has not had to earn a dime in the past 25 years. Perhaps she does not realize how things like a new car should be EARNED not given... she does not know the value of a dollar. Okay, I better stop.
maybe it would make you feel better if
everyone contributed a funny story about the mistakes they've made. I have one - this one is actually something my aunt did just recently, and she's also been in the business for about 20 years. Instead of "foramen ovale," she sent it in as "foraminal valley" - just had a brain freeze - everybody does it!!
Once you view it, make sure to reply No to 'save any changes you made?' so the report

oops, I made an error in above post
I wanted to say the "SO-CALLED MANAGER," who does NOT give a rats _________ if you get your quota, or NOT!!
I made a sticky post at the top of the forum. I am not going
to get into specific debate over various belief systems and people's rights. If you haven't read the sticky post, please do so.
She just said she would post pix and made it sound so attractive.

Your post made me laugh even more than the original! NM
 
She made a weird comment to the post
of a paranoid poster = 'curious'.
Read the whole thread if you want to understand.
don't let her make you feel guilty
Kids these days think they are entitled to everything handed to them. So and so has this or that and lot's of kids brag and lie. Just stick to your guns. Mine used to tell me that things had changed since I was a teen but not really, i bought my flinstone mobile from my brother for 50 bucks...holes in the floorboards and all.
I just don't think it's necessary for you to try to make someone feel stupid. There was no ot
purpose for your post other than to make the original poster feel stupid.
I don't think it's necessary to treat people this way. So why don't you take your keyboard and stick it somewhere for safekeeping until you feel a little nicer. 
All MTSOs try to make you feel it is only you

Good for you. Did it make you feel better?
If you feel you need to be seen at ER, go. It will just make your case stronger. nm

do computers make you feel sick?
hey, i was just wondering if any of you transcriptionists dread spending so much time on the computer. Do any of you get headaches, or other discomforts from the EMFS or the chemcials outgassed from the computer?
I have a blog where I post info about outgassed chemicals from computers. if you get bad feelings from computers It might be because of the outgassed flame retardants and other chemicals.

what mean post made you post your post
 Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
I think it'll be Make-you-own night. I don't feel like cooking either. (nm)

And why did you feel THIS post was directed at
Give us a break and get your own sandbox. What a riot!
Well, it is called the World Wide Web! Sorry, your post made me laugh! No offense... but duh! nm
Oh please, somebody tried to make me feel guilty for leaving a horrible job using this same line.
How much $$ it cost to train ME. Like I should feel sorry for the company who basically misled me every step of the way regarding hiring, training, accounts, etc., etc. The job was a horrible fit, and I stayed way longer out of guilt. Not worth it! Conditions are deplorable enough for the MTs right now - we don't need to now assume responsibility for how much or how little a company spends to train us. PLEASE!!
I definitely feel like we are dealing with the same person! I think I need to make some phone calls
and put a stop to her! I cannot stand the idea that she is out there still scamming people like she scammed me!
Did it make you feel edgie or have any nervousness or heart palpitations?

Jodi, you feel free to post whenever you want to and if you see something
ugly posted, you just email me directly and I'll deal with it. I am intolerant of people being mean on this site. I can be reached at admin@mtstars.com.
On an episode of Dr. Phil I saw just the other day, he said that children have a hard enough time living outside of a broken home, but should never have to live INSIDE of a broken home. Wise words, in my opinion. I, personally, think you did the right thing and as long as you are taking care of your children and have a decent roof over their heads, he really can't do much. Like you said, if he wants to partake in your children's upbringing then he can come to see them. Unless you moved closer to your parents or siblings then you should probably sit tight where you are since you have a home church and people there who you can talk to. Also, there are very caring people who post here regularly, so please don't give up on this site just because of a bad apple.

I'm sorry you feel picked on. Yours was the post I responded too because SM
yours was the one I found to be most unbelievable and in case you didn't notice, I wasn't the only one who found it unbelievable.
