American Idol watchers - Unbelievable, this is something my hubby told me, did not see in any newspaper, ET, TV news, not one word.

I tell you I thought I died and went to Heaven when William Hung sung that song, Shake your bon bon!

I'd take hung any day over 2 teens that like RAP!! UGH!
I need shock absorbers for my upstairs floors while they listen to their RAP downstairs.
Don't ask why I put up with it. I do because they don't drink or drug. They write and record.
gotta pick your battles.
Exactly what my DH used to say till he hung out with me for a while. - nm
An older one...The Doctor with William Hurt...
Has anyone seen this one? It was actually really, really good...I also love Urban Cowboy...I like older movies....
Don't get hung up with the golden handcuffs. (SM)
It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world. In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you.
In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all. It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end. There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.
I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company. Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year.
Are documents set to print getting hung up

If a job can be rejected, refused, or hung up on, it's being cherrypicked. nm

Our library doesn't have them either so
we may be bidding against each other. I checked HPI too, and the prices are real killers. 
Oooh "help fairly soon!" Hello, William Shatner, it's Rescue 911!

Glad you had a good time. We just hung around the house.
have you tried the library (if you still have one) or the grocery store...
like, lingering, you know? I have been approached many times by men like that...
how about friends, does anyone have a set-up for you, even just for some companionship?
how about volunteering for things, like a food pantry or wildlife center.
of coures, goes without saying to be cautious always when out in public these days...
also, laundromats I always see single guys...
anyone else?
I worked in a library for 14 years--
and after 4 years of being an MT I make $10-15,000 a year more than I ever did with the library system.
have 18. expand library based on your need,
not on what the 'jones' have going on!!
I just requested this at my local library.
Even though I've been an IC for a while now, I'd love to see what this author has to offer. Thanks for the tip.
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
evacuee - just found work at library
Hello!
Hope I am doing this right. Do not know how to reply to posts but here goes -
Library down the street from where I am staying has wireless internet. They said I could stay there all day. Going to by a lap top tonight!!!! Praise the Lord!!!
Called Medquist. My supervisor and the main office I am from - kind of overwhelmed with calls from evacuees and their e-mails.
Talked to payroll. VEry helpful. Said I could use vacation time for day I missed. Medquist is not THAT bad!!!

I actually borrowed a set from the library at the community college here.
I used them as long as I needed to, then returned them.
i have a massive library but still prefer the internet
Especially when working on-line, the Internet is a much faster, up-to-date resource.
Your brand of rudeness is a terrible thing to have in this profession.
Ever hear of the doctor with no bedside manner? This applies to MTs helping MTs also. The next time you need assistance, I pray for your sake Divine Intervention doesn't help you first!

Great to have a computer spouse handy when system crashes!

Try your local library or perhaps a small tax service would give you one. (nm)
Yes. I went to the library today and was told I had an outstanding book--sm
so I came home and looked around. Asked my husband if he saw it. Said when I asked him to drop off boxes at the Goodwill for me last week that were in the TRUNK he thought the book on the front seat was also for them. A 12 year old book cost me $24.76 and its my fault because I did not tell him that when I specified trunk I did not say "do not take items inside the car".
The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
You, well you have obviously put ME in my place
with that little lecture. Since youd didn't say anything meaningful to respond to in all that bandwidth, I won't respond to any of the content of what you said.
But just for your information, your little tyrade had no affect on the reality of what is going to happen, so get over it and get used to it.
I saw that place on TV (sm)
a lot of celebrities own there!
It is most definitely not OUR place to be
making phone calls or turning people in. The doctors and nurses are trained to do it as part of their job. If they suspect abuse, drug seeking, whatever, it is up to THEM, not us.
know your place sm

I see this is not the place to be
People are right when I have been told - not many nice people in this field. My first week coming on here to look for help and talk to other was this past week and you know what, you can have it. I will look for other places to figure out my problems with work and I suggest you look for help with your personality problems as my work problems do not require nearly the attention your personality does. Good bye and thanks for nothing.
I am not sure if you tried this place..
Did you happen to go into your closet and look for a reference book only to find the administrator of this forum smelling her finger?
I have never been to a place that does that and
would not shop at one.
Not every place is like that at all.
Not very believable.

then that's what you should have said in the first place.

And this place does?
This place makes no sense to me. People are mean here. I love cafemt. Makes the job fun.
33 yrs, 9-10 at same place.

If you get $ from this place, they sm
will not touch you with a 10-foot pole. I've been in this situation and you will be a no-rehire.
I think I used to be an IC for the same place.
I liked working there, but no time off allowed. One day an MT co-worker of mine got a headache and got in trouble for calling out that day even though she gave plenty of notice early in the morning and they had all day to distribute the work. This is when often-times there was no work at all. I left because after hearing that, I realized I would not be a true IC. Why, as an IC you are supposed to make your own schedule aren't you? And if something comes up isn't it true that you are allowed flexibility? They say it is a small company and everyone is expected to be there for them when the hospital decides to send in the overflow, yet with no notice to the IC. It was too confusing, in may ways worse than employee when at least you know when you are expected to work. Not an IC job at all. Sorry for your experience, but I and many others I know have had the same experience.
not if you get it from the right place
I have bought 2 refurbished computers & both were screaming deals.
I got my desktop from the Dell online outlet & am using it as we speak. I got my laptop from Costco.com & I also still use it every day for personal stuff. They are both going on 5 yrs since my purchase and worked perfectly when I got them & still do. They both cost about half of what brand-new ones would have cost.
Most times "factory-refurbished" means that you also get a manufacturer's warranty -- but not always. I got 1-year warranties on both of mine; Dell also offered an extended warranty purchase at the time I ordered it, which I did get. Some of theirs are refurbished, some are "scratch & dent" or "open box" - which means customer return, but virtually new.
Costco offers a 1-year warranty also. They don't always have a huge number in stock so you may have to keep checking until they have what you want. There are some online sites selling refurbished computers but most have only a 3-month warranty.
I think both sites take trade-ins as well.
Mine are both getting a little old feature-wise, but still work well enough for my purposes, so I suppose I will drive both until the wheels fall off.

Best place you've ever worked for and why . . .
If you do not want to give the company name, just give the reasons why you like or liked your company. What keeps us gals happy around here?
Your school should be the first place you go
for job-placement assistance. At the very least, they should be able to tell you what employers seek to hire their graduates. In the case of schools such as M-Tec and Andrews, many employers will waive the two-year experience requirement for their graduates because of the high quality of their education and their reputation for turning out job-ready MTs. Some employers will also waive the experience requirement for Career Step graduates, as well. Perhaps there are employers who hire graduates of your school without experience. Your school should be able to give you a lead on employers who have hired their graduates. In any event, any reputable MT school will provide job-placement assistance to their graduates.
