Tired of blanket nonproductive e-mails that chew out everyone but are really only meant for a (SM)

for a few individuals. These are so discouraging for the ones who are doing a good job. Supervisors are not so important that they can't take the time to change the e-mail address so the letter is sent to only those who are messing up - and, conversely, if you can't take the time to figure out who is messing up, then you won't take the time to find out who is doing a good job, so you will never give a raise.
Yes - my letter is perfect example of sending an e-mail to every supervisor and MTSO. See how ineffective it is? Makes you feel very defensive if you are not guilty of doing this. Imagine how it makes me feel when I get these notes after working 10-12 hours to try to help you get caught up, and then you send out a note that basically says how lazy we all are. Thanks a lot. There are a lot better companies out there than you, and even a few who might appreciate high quality and high quantity work.

Here's a bone for you to chew on...
Just because a vet recommends something doesn't make it "safe" or acceptable... MANY vets recommend pig ears and other crapola like rawhide which is TERRIBLE for dogs. There are plenty of vets who know better on both of these "recommends"
As to where they can be bought, are you KIDDING? Since when have you known giant corporations that make money to CARE about whether or not a product is safe for animals OR humans?
Sure they care - to the point they won't be sued... but an UNeducated consumer is their BEST customer.
And by the way dogs don't "hate" per se... they FEAR. That said, if you think for a New York second your dog *likes* the collar, you are fooling yourself.
If you are SO SURE they aren't abuse, put the darn collar on and shock yourself. IF you still think it's just a fine way to treat an ANIMAL THAT HAS NO CONTROL over whether or not it has to wear a collar that causes *any amount* of pain, just keep on using and ABUSING your dog.
He probably means they chew tobacco or snuff, not
smoke it. Nicotine patches have been used in Alzheimer's patients.
Use heating blanket? (nm)

The above post wins the Wet Blanket award... nm

ridiculous blanket statement about defensive
so not true - where DO you get your information from that defensive people make lots of errors....hmmmm? Are you one of those psychobabble psychologists? 
I think the warming blanket excellent idea
Bought one for my bed and it is plumb yummy! I turn it on when I enter my bedroom for the night, letting it warm some and by the time I get in the bed my bed is toasty warm. I stay so cold always, run lower temps than most because of a thyroid problem. I have a space heater in my workroom that I keep on lots during the winter but that electric (half size) blanket is tops!
I wish you would not make a blanket statement about things you don't understand about taxes sm
When you are an employee and you are financially responsible for your office, the heat, the electricity, the space in your house, your deductions are nearly identical.
I'll give you this though: ICs frequently make a higher line rate than an employee, at least initially. So many employers are freezing cpl increases in favor of production incentives. My company did this and the incentives are excellent. I have gotten to where my line rate with the incentives is actually higher than any IC position I have ever held. I am going to do that many lines anyway and I am well ahead on all fronts.
I get tired of daily grind. I get tired of having
horrible dictation/dictators and not able to produce lines, which directly affects my paycheck. I don't mind doing the difficult stuff, and I pretty good at it, but it is stressful and I find it very hard to budget when you never know what your paycheck is going to be. I hate being tied to having earphones on all day. I have children at home (I homeschool and don't have toddlers running around) and my DH works third shift so he is home during the day. I try to work around all this, but can't always. If I had a "desk" job I could be part of conversations at least, but having to have the earphones on you can't do that. I get tired of being sedentary, my feet swell, my shoulders are tired, my elbows hurt, etc.
I stick with it because of my children, and also because I like the flexibility. I don't have to be up at 5:30 to get the kids up and ready for school, I don't have to fight traffic to get to work at 8:00. It is a trade-off. Sounds like you just need a break.
Good thinking Wise MT about the blanket. I use fingerless gloves for the hands. NM. Thank you for
One of my PAs constantly rides the microphone, click, fuzz, missing word, chew, click,
Production e-mails
Sounds like we work for the same company! I wonder if the whole company is doing that or just particular team managers? I really don't mind it that much, it kind of keeps me on my toes - but I can understand your frustration. 
Question about e-mails...sm
I am trying to send an e-mail to my employer but it keeps coming back to me as a failure notice. It states: 530 Authentication required. Does anybody know what this means?
Thanks
Did you save any of the e-mails
If so, then just include that with a nice letter to your past employers about the fact that your working arrangement did not work out.
If that doesn't work, you may want to see if there is a way to sue her for defamation of character. She has to have good grounds to be calling your previous employers. Was this the lady at Seascript? She seemed to have some problems, but I think she was getting help.
Save the e-mails you get and, when you
get one from QA person B that contradicts what QA person A said in the old one, reply to B with a cc to A saying in a very nice and professional way that you had understood it to be such-and-such based on what A had told you before. This will start a dialogue among the QA folks and, hopefully, the correct answer will be found and published.
No check from 07/16, 08/01, and 08/16..no response to e-mails
Thankfully I haven't had this problem before..but now I don't know what to do. This is a lady who I've done work with for the past 3 years...very much in the first couple of years, and it has slacked off to only occasionally now. I never had a problem with her paying in the past and thought we had a good working relationship over the past few years. Now, I haven't been paid for these 3 invoices, and have gotten a couple of e-mail, late in August and early in September, that the check was on the way. Now for the past week plus I haven't gotten any response to my e-mails..and still no check. It's only about $350 or so, but it's the income I've always used to pay my credit card bill...and now without it, I've gotten late charges. I just wonder what my next move should be..or if there is anything I can do short of just e-mailing her again? I'm just really surprised that it's come to this...and I'm hoping she's just on vacation or something 
MSN used to send me daily e-mails SM
telling me every single website they had been to. But this would only work if they sign in under their own name and not "borrow" mom or dad's name!
I know this is MDI-MD. Couldn't take the e-mails - she is NUTS! nm

Anyone type their e-mails in all caps?
A co-worker sends the entire e-mail response in all caps regardless of the question. I was always told it meant shouting. If there is some other meaning please inform.
me
I've been getting e-mails explaining it.
Maybe you aren't on company e-mail or you haven't checked it?
Sometimes e-mails show no emotion
You are lucky to have a mentoree. Take it with stride, and once you've gained experience, move on. Words on paper can be misinterpreted very easily.
The e-mails show that they come from MT Stars
Any time someone e-mails you from a MT Stars post this message is attached to the e-mail showing that it comes from MT Stars. Just because you didn't get one doesn't mean a thing. They have to open a post and click on the blue to e-mail - they just haven't done it to you yet.

Tell them your ISP has installed a new SPAM filter and a it's intercepting a lot of your e-mails

Ask Greg or Frank or whoever is the current CEO. They can check e-mails from Hawaii.
 Aloha.

Sorry, 'MT way too long,' my post was not meant for you, it was meant for Wow! Sorry!!...nm

old and tired
maybe you need the 14 bucks an hour to pay for those conference calls. i hear the editors have to pay for them all by themselves.
Thank you Tired... :)
tired of it sm
Not asked or told to do this. Told they are "sound file reconversions" where the sound file is "fixed" and then the report goes back in the pool. Sorry don't buy it. If the sound is that bad, why do the report? Why not send it to get the sound file "fixed" at the beginning? Think its someone trying not to send something to QA. They are always the difficult dictators. Also was told that the sound file issues were resolved.
You are SO right... I get so tired of...
listening to people complain about this country.. We have it so good here that we are totally spoiled. It's shameful. If these people would take a tour around the world and then come back here and compare our medical care, they would stop this nonsense. Even in developed countries like Italy, things are a little weird. I lived there 20 yrs ago and a friend had a car accident and ended up in an Italian emergency room instead of the army hospital. The treatment? A big glass of wine while sitting in the hallway waiting forever to be seen. Forget the undeveloped countries, they barely have anything. Even in Britain their facilities are not quite what we expect here. We are spoiled.
tired
definitely feel the same way. 23 years is long enough. wish i could do something else that made this kind of money.
.......tired!
I get tired of....
being sneezed on. First of all, it hurts my ears if it is too explosive and secondly, I feel like I need a shower. Is it too hard to turn your head and/or hold the phone away from your face?
tired QA
You were "not so perfect" at one time yourself......so unless you have a masters degree, don't be so critical i.e, you have been there yourself. Beside, if it were not for mistakes or uncertainty, you would not have a job either!
Like I said - I'm tired of them not
speaking English to a point where you can at least "partly" understand. My job is to type what I hear. I'm not trying to "turn their accent into English anymore!" -- I don't get paid enough "downtime" to figure this out! -- Especially at $10/$11 an hour!!!!!
can you tell how tired I am right now
actually, I did not "do" her . . . I did do some work for her though -- and still do sometimes
Tired..
Sure understand your feelings of delight with your grandchild. I feel the same way about my 2 grandsons, and over the years have barely been able to hang onto transcription at home while providing them with everything under the sun to keep them busy while I attempted to work. They also have turned out to be very artistic and creative. They are 11 and 14 now. The main thing for me was a HUGE amount of patience and not getting stressed when they interrupted, just smile and as quickly as possible return to typing. I did "interact" with them face-to-face every 15 minutes for a couple of minutes when they were little, and it seemed to work best when I worked in the same room they were playing in. Of course, at 3 they started pre-kindergarten, so there were 3 free hours to work, then soon enough all-day school. They finally learned to not over-do the interruptions as they got older (one thing was when they understood they get to buy "toys" with the money I am mysteriously making.) I really do not think there is a "balance", I just keep trying. Also I think there is a "bit-of-a-difference" between grandparenting and parenting rules. (If we don't make our kids TOO mad at us!) We really get to do all the good stuff and joy!!
tired of this
This job does render us socially isolated unless we make real efforts to make friends and our lack of friends makes us rather vulnerable too, i.e. husband attacks and no one to come to our rescue. Your husband sounds rather immature and you seem to be in the role of his wife/mother. You certainly deserve a break. My first and only marriage ended because I was in the same situation. Now I am alone but at least I can be free from the tyranny of a man/boy so to speak. It's your call. Weigh the pros and cons and then take some action.
I'm tired of MTs who cannot SM
look up the simplest things and who leave 20 or 30 blanks in a report. When I was an MT, if I sent ONE job to QA in a month I felt like I failed, but today's MTs have no pride in their work at all.
tired
I've recently been sending applications and resumes to non-transcription companies locally. Guess what. They see on my resume that all I've done for the past 20 years is transcription, and they don't think I'm capable of anything else! It's very disheartening.
Tired of sitting
I can stand to sit for just so long and then I have to get up and move around. Sitting and pounding a keyboard makes me more exhausted than if I was doing something physical. When I am doing something physical, I feel much better and am not as cranky.
Tired of being yanked around
I have discovered that when I am zooming right along on my regular account, all of a sudden-- I'm on two or more totally different accounts, which really slows me down as I am not used to them. This especially happens to me working late at night or on weekends. I think I am the only "sucker" who is working, so the person or persons in the office take this opportunity to assign me other accounts to work on. It is SO frustrating! I need to make my line counts and this is certainly not helping! I have sent emails to the office and they claim it is to keep the TAT under control, but the accounts that I am assigned are not anywhere NEAR out of TAT. It is a "control" issue or what???
tired of this weather
i never thought i would say it, but it is just too hot for me. It has been high 90s here all summer and humid. It usually isnt this hot here. I want fall to come with some high 50 to low 60 degree weather. CANT WAIT. I need cozy days and comfort foods!
Tired of the whining and here is why.
If you check out the posts, you will see what we are talking about. MQ MTs whine about the horrible company they work for but don't leave. I am angry that the "sit back and take it" attutude they have makes all hard working MTs look bad. I for one know I am worth more than having to put up with being used like slave labor. Even if it means working two jobs, it is better than just sitting back and whining but doing nothing about your plight. And with that being said, no one is saying they should not be able to beat the dead dog amoungst themselve, they just need to take it to a blog, so we don't have to be witness to it. And btw, i DO work two MT jobs.
Tired of being at home
Does anyone else out there find they get sick of working from home? I get depressed sometimes. I do not have children yet and my husband works about 12 hours a day. I am usually by myself all the time and I have been doing this for 5 years. Got any words of encouragement or advice?
Tired of feeling ill
Anyone ever feel like this - just no energy, headache, and kind of achy for days now. Any ideas what this is caused from - maybe a virus?
