Lawsuits in America mean something pretrial? What about the chick the other day in a monsoon who blamed her landscaper for snapping tree trunks! Yep, you keep doing your self-righteous dance. I'll keep working and making $$$!

Innocent until proven guilty .. except on the web
And apparently if you don't provide a link, that is an open invitatio to be doubted and called a liar? Even without a link, I am perfectly capable of looking into it for myself and I try never to rush to judgment without having all the facts first. It only proves to make me look like a bitter jerk otherwise.
So we are guilty until proven innocent?
And who decides what "bad" things are? The definition of "bad" can change at any moment. Voicing your opinion on a chat forum could one day be considered "bad." Anything could.
Like all other things in this world, they're guilty until proven innocent.
I think that totally stinks! Of course, you're only his mom and certainly do not know everything he does, right.
UMMMM ....Hello?
Why does someone usually ask a question? Maybe to get an answer? But I guess in finding out, it is really not a word, therefore, I am not going to worry about it. Why would I continue to research a word that is made up, that probably should not be used? I know now that I have other options because I asked and found out. THAT IS WHY.
Ummmm???
Wonder what CO. you are working for. I have two accounts - VR/transcription - and both are completely different in what they want. One wants things the old way I have always done them, the other wants everything different - such as only one space between sentences, after colons, etc. and using only numerals in the reports - I am figuring this is all to cut down on the length of lines - it certainly doesn't read well.
Ummmm . . . I was only kidding...nm

I know it will be proven some day.
The Y chromosome is defective! 
On another note, it is proven that
addictions are hereditary also. I am not saying everyone who has alcoholism in their family will be alcoholics, but you are more likely to suffer from addiction than someone who does not have a family history.
It's not defamatory if it's true and can be proven. nm

None ... trained OTJ and am quite qualified as has been proven (sm)
by me having no problem finding a MT job when I needed one. Now I work for myself so I'm doing just fine.

If proven fraud, will you file suit against her?

Isn't it funny how something so innocent
can stir up so much anger from a few people. I am very mature; however, sometimes I just need to goof off. Ever heard of goofing off or breaking up the monotony of work/life. Didn't think so!
I'm not saying that some innocent people don't
get HIV/AIDS, but it is 100% preventable. This is not just my opinion, it is the opinion of medical professionals.
I'm not judging anyone and I've helped people with addictions try to get help. I even do transcription for a residential detox facility so I "see" a lot of stuff. I just don't happen to believe that everyone who is an alcoholic truly has a disease process.
My son has ADHD, been diagnosed twice, by 2 very prominent specialists. I don't allow his ADHD to be an excuse for poor behavior.
Yeah, but it's always the innocent bystanders
that get caught in the crossfire.
My prayers are with you and your husband, and the 3 innocent
just reading the posts and feeling saddened for your situation.
innocent baby seal slaughter
I think the contraversy about this hunt is the way it is done. Many people in the US deer hunt, only it isn't seen as cruel since they use a gun or bow. Maybe if the Canadians changed their way of going about their horrific seal hunt it wouldn't be seen as so cruel? Just a suggestion! And, I think the before poster was wrong stating that animals do not have human feelings........did you see The March of the Penguins? Mothers who lost their own tried to steal others and felt quite sad and heart-broken! I guess we truly do not know, but part of me thinks they feel just like we do when it comes to loving and protecting your young. :)
Not looking for drama in innocent post. Thread

My x-rated emails were innocent on my part
I am larger size lady and went on the internet looking for plus size clothing sites. Well, the internet had a mind of its own and went to plus size ladies. I got all kind of stuff sent to me. Hey, I am a married lady and only looking for clothing, not a date.
Sheesh.

Sheesh!
I am definitely gone from this site. It has totally gone to the dogs, literally, and other nonsense.
Oh, Sheesh yourself!
I actually hope these innocent pets get homes more than I care

You just had to start that again, huh? Sheesh.
Sheesh! I was just going to post an
encouraging post to you, and then read the nasty QA comment. Thanks a lot! It is totally a misconception that QA are nasty - shame on you! I assure you, most of the snarky posters on this board are anything but professional MTs. But forget the encouragement - you just snarked me. Off to better things...
Sheesh! We must be neighbors.
aa
Then why post at all? Sheesh! And yes, if
you are an IC, you should have a contract. What about privacy laws? Liability? You should have all this clearly outlined in a contract for your benefit. You do have problems, but you just don't know it yet.
I think you over-reacted. You made something dirty out of a child's innocent crush.
.
Let's not turn an innocent poll into a political bantering free for all.
People are allowed to post who they feel a good female role model is, however, if you want to start up political banter, take it to the Politics board.
Sheesh. Don't know why I signed "OP"

boy, aren't we full of ourselves! Sheesh! nm

shows you how observant I am sometimes. sheesh.
thanks for letting me know.
Get over yourself, Grammar Police - sheesh!
The self-righteousness of the Grammatically-Correct- Nazis out there is unbelievable. Most of us take a quick break from work, dash off a quick post on this forum, and then get back to work. Not only is there little time for proofreading on this board, but in this tiny little box it's nearly impossible. And well-written, effective communication doesn't necessarily have to be the King's English, either. (Read "Huckleberry Finn" someday.)
We all understand that and get the gist of what is meant when someone types a post with misspelled word or a grammatical error in it. Usually those who feel they are above reproach when it comes to errors of any kind are..........MANAGEMENT.
All she did was ask a legitimate question. Sheesh!

Sheesh, you're too literal. No one said anything about a man to take care of you, just
p
It was helpful for me, Sheesh. I've done the right thing and
I sincerely hope that others will as well.
It doesn't matter whether or not we agree but the language used and the intent demonstrated. That is what I was talking about.
I fully realize that there will be people who cannot leave a good thing alone. I feel sorry for those individuals. They apparently have no peace, no satisfaction, and no friendliness in their lives. They only know how to destroy, or to attempt to.
I'm going to demonstrate what I want back from others - positivity, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance - whether or not I receive that from you or anyone else. If you do not return to me the same as I have offered, then that is between you and your own soul. :)
I appreciate your point of view; I just don't share it.
I hope everyone has a good evening tonight and a productive day tomorrow! I can't believe summer is almost over with and school starts back soon. Rather funny to me, my son has griped all summer about nothing to do (despite a part-time job, camping trips, Disneyland trip, youth events, etc.) and now that school is coming back around he feels "stressed" because there's not enough time to do all he wants to do! Hahahaha
Yeah, probably because that would be the SMART THING to do! Sheesh!

I'd say a lecture on politeness is needed, if nothing else. Sheesh. nm

Sorry about typos, sheesh...been sick and today down for round 3 sm
of cold, bronchitis and mild pneumonia. Every time I get better I start in from the beginning with this illness! This is why I have settled for a significantly lower line rate to go where there are affordable benefits like health insurance so I can treat these things instead of being sick for over a month now and can't afford to go to the doctor because I can't work at my usual level. Goodness me.
You are not guilty!!!!
Guys like your stepdad are master manipulators and they know exactly who to target. They choose victims who they believe will not tell, who will suffer in silence rather than upset the family. You are guilty of nothing. He is. Is there any group in your area you can talk to, or a counselor who specializes in sexual abuse who you can talk to? This guy will do everything he can to make you feel crazy and make you feel like you’re wrong, he’s right.
Sexual abuse is not just intercourse. It’s touching, rubbing against someone, exposing himself, making very inappropriate comments. So whether or not he can still get it up doesn’t matter...it’s still sexual abuse and you are the victim, not the perpetrator.
Guilty of What? sm
Carrying out her wishes? The last phrase on her tombstone says "I kept my promise" Yeah he is guilty of carrying out her last wishes. This needs to be on political board. I was not very active in politics until this fiasco occurred. When the leader of a free world felt he was a king and called an emergency session of congress to keep a brain-dead woman alive, and it happens everyday, everyday, the king had to make it a political issue for the right. This needs to be taken to the political board. This was just a political move, and right wingers will never see through that. He does not care about a brain-dead woman, look how many, many, 1,000s are dead in Iraq for oil.
What's he guilty of?
I can't believe how many gullible people are out there who have been manipulated by Terri's "poor, poor pitiful me" manipulative tactics.
I guess there are a lot of dumb people out there.
Guilty
I do it too. I actually look forward to working because I can "escape" from the real world for awhile.
Too bad it doesn't happen every single day. :)
Guilty.
I gave up drugs and alcohol already, so I'll allow myself my coffee and cigarettes.
However, I have no problem with abstaining/stepping outside when it comes to folks who'd rather I don't do it around them.
then, by extension of your logic, IS THERE a right career for this woman at this time? sheesh.

Feeling guilty
Believe it or not your condition is more common than you might think. However, it is very serious. If you do not feel comfortable talking to someone you know then I suggest you speak with someone like a doctor, crisis center or even a local church pastor. Pastors have a lot of connections in the community and can get you the help you need, most times free. I wish you well and please do not think your crazy. Many people deal with stress in very different ways, some are more extreme than others. There is help out there! God Bless.
About feeling guilty
Speaking of feeling guilty, if I hit the lottery tomorrow, I'm going to feel a little guilty that I hit it instead of the poor guy who's worked for minimum wage all of his life, but does that mean I'm going to refuse to accept the prize or give part of it back to the state in which I won it? I don't think so!
I understand what you're saying, and I agree too that she must do what she feels is right. If it were me, though, I'd charge my normal rate, and if the client came back to me with a "WHOA!!", then I might negotiate a "little something" out, but remember .... whether an MT types everything out by hand or does a few clicks and "viola" (sp), she still has to meet turnaround time, which means you'll find her sitting at her desk day in and day out. I personally would not transcribe at substandard line rates just because doctors choose to work smart and use macros because for me to do so would mean I'm not working smart. JMO.
Guilty about working sm
Hi, My heart goes out to you. The only way my children could be offered a college education was if I worked as well as my husband. We were both working long hours and I know my 8-YO suffered. I worked outside of the home and in transcription. I did everything I could to make up for it during my time off, taking him everywhere I could when I could sneak in a few hours. Don't you know that I'd make plans and have to work (so many times) to keep the account and disappointed him as well. There was one time I had planned a week at the beach for him and the account came in the day I was leaving. I explained my situation to them and asked them to please work around it. They did, but others dropped me like a hot potato. This is a terrible profession for a mom. All you can do is keep telling him how much you love him and you are doing it for him to have a better life some day in the future. Not only was my son able to attend college, but now teaches there. It was not easy. You have to explain, explain that you "need" to work and you're not being selfish. It's a tough enough job (this transcription) and an unappreciated profession IMHO (in my humble opinion). Love him, hug him and try to explain. God bless you for trying. I know how you feel. By the way, you do gain speed after learning an account and it becomes much easier. I have had some awful dictators who no one else could understand, but they "grew" on me and I got much faster and was more in demand than I ever expected. Ask God for help, even if you don't think He has time to answer. If your heart is in the right place, you will be rewarded. Explain that no one can get a decent job today without a degree and you're performing a labor of love for his benefit. Good luck to you and try to enjoy the holiday. I understand what you're going through.Don't give up and things will get better. Don't feel guilty, at least you're trying and you're not lazy.
To: Feeling guilty? From below. SM
Maybe something is escaping me and I don't want to be rude to anybody. I'm trying to understand.
You are an employee who signed an 8-4:30 contract, right? Are the people you are mad about employees, or did your MTSO hire additional IC folks? If she/they did, then that's who you should take issue with.
If these are other scheduled employees who are doing this, you have a choice. You can either do what they do, tattle on them (I probably would), or work elsewhere.
If they are extra IC help, what can you do? Can you make them feel bad about team spirit? I don't think so. Do you think McDonald's feels team spirit with Burger King? An IC is a business owner, in competition with others.
Are the other people employees?
If one is found guilty of it, yes I do. I cannot help
Everyone always has a story and a reason and an excuse as to why they committed their crime.
No empathy from me on it. I expect the law to provide protection for myself and other law-abiding, careful US citizens through many avenues and having a legal record is one of them.
It is a testament to one's decisions, their choices, their consideration for fairness, equality, safety and respect of this country and other fellow citizens.
I back up harsh punishment 100%. A felony on the record speaks for itself.
