What a pathetic person you are!

Posted By: MQx7 on 2005-09-19
In Reply to: Speechless? - I think not!

So, what you are saying is that the $20,000 that was donated is nothing? PUHLEEZ - If you do the math you big brain, that is enough money to give at least a few hundred families enough money to get food, clothes, and some well-needed necessities! Now, YOU go do the math! It is people like you that are such greedy SOBs and are not appreciative of anything. I know of a family that was displaced and I can guarantee you this - THEY know who is being generous and who is not. In my opinion MQ did what they could! Obviously NOBODY does more than they can - HELLO! You didn't clear your savings account and cash in on any stocks to send money did you? HECK NO!

    isn't it just pathetic
    Make a buck, make a buck.
    Pathetic...
    I can't wait to get out of this profession. When I hear someone like you say that you've been doing this for 19 years and you make 8 cpl and say that PROUDLY is just SAD.

    Im sure these blood sucking companies who don't give a crap about their workers would LOVE you!
    ...pathetic.
    .
    I know. It's totally pathetic already
    It would be comical if it weren't so tragic.  I have never seen anyone with such low self esteem.  She has to come on here and browbeat people who aren't even complaining.  Then she wants to brag(?) that she made $200 in NINE hours????   I do feel sorry for her, but I am getting really sick of listening to her venom.
    You guys are pathetic
    Can we just wait until we get the darn packet before we start crying like babies -ENOUGH ALREADY!
    That's not funny, it's pathetic

    What's really pathetic is how people who are so
    of their own lives feel some sick kind of vindication and gratification from having the last word on an anonymous message board.

    Okay, honey. Go ahead and have your little victory for the day. It's all you have, and I know you are just dying to post a reply!

    LMAO

    I have a life to lead. Have a good day, but thanks for the entertainment.
    LOL!!!!!! Kinda pathetic that I have nothing better

    My life is pathetic. *sm*

    I work outside the home and I make a good wage/yearly income.  I took up medical transcription on the side in hopes that some day I could work from home.  I have to travel almost an hour to work each way and I live where we have major snow and ice storms and the older I get, the more anxiety I get about driving in this weather.  My husband hasn't been able to find a good job (he works about 30 hours a week at a dead-end job with no benefits) and I have a son in college.  I find that I work all the time with almost no social life.  I also have friends and relatives who seem to be working more than one job either both jobs outside the home or one job outside the home and then doing something on line.  No matter how much I work, I never seem to be able to get ahead and it scares me.  I do not have an extravagent home nor do I drive a newer vehicle.   What is wrong with us that we have to work more than one job to make a living and how am I going to face retirement?  I am thinking I will have to do medical transcription from home until I can no longer see and just pray that it is still around.  I never in a million years thought that my life would end up like this.  I should have listened to everyone when they said it was just as easy to marry a rich guy as it is a poor one.    


     


     


    my life is pathetic
    You sound so cruel in your reply. What if you had not found another man who was nice. What if you were still with your rich ex? I cannot believe that you would say such a cruel thing to this woman ESP. when you have been through the same experience yourself!! Not everyone gets a second chance to find a better person and/or life like you did. You need to apologize PROFUSELY to "my life is pathetic." I've had my "down" times, and as YOU should know, it is not easy to keep a happy face and have hope for the future. Again, you just got lucky; not ALL of us get that second "lucky" chance for a better life. Step back and take a look at yourself!!!!!
    Pathetic. Outsider p.o.v.
    The "anon" poster ended it yesterday and if you can tell who he/she is with the moniker of "anon" then good on ya. You look pathetic.
    i agree, its pathetic
    the mass generalizations. i never have understood it. Maybe i have been blessed enough to grow up near and know people of many races and cultures and i see the HUMAN in all of us. sure i have some prejudices, but its more toward those with massive tattoos, klaidoscope hair color etc, fhe things people choose for their appearance, not gender, skin color, age, etc.
    you are SO mistaken and PATHETIC
    I have worked for her for over 5 years and NEVER had a problem.

    Guess going national to find decent transcriptionists is a mistake. All you do is slam, slam, slam. Pathetic bunch a lot of you are. You deserve stuggling with the huge companies and low work and crappy platforms and VR at half the pay.
    I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
    It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
    Oh, my gosh! What a pathetic attitude...

    Those poor people need help!  What would you expect them to do?  They have lost EVERYTHING, and many of them didn't have much to begin with.  They can't go back to where they lived.  Most only have the clothes on their backs.  Shame on you.


     


    pathetic refund back to CEO
    you go girl!! tell him you want your postage reimbursed - haha!!
    1. Me. 2. Me. 3. Me. 4. Me. 5. Me. Total # in household: 5. pathetic, huh? sm
    Also, we have a total of 11 acres - 3 of which have to be cut. Our riding lawn mower broke in the spring, so guess who is out there pushing it? Yours truly.

    If I don't do it, it doesn't get done....And I need things to be done for my own sanity. Can't stand a messy house.
    That's pathetic that a hospital would pay for such work.
    The hospital should be ashamed of themselves for hiring an offshore company.
    You are pathetic. I make $35 an hour with
    you would make some money.  Instead you want to stir up trouble and complain.  Why not look at what you DO have instead of what you DON'T have? The reason I am in MT is because I make $35 an hour and I can't make that anywhere else.  If you don't believe it, I don't care.  I'll go back to my work now and make some money, and you can sit on this board and b*tch and make nothing.  And it's your own fault!
    I find it ridiculous and pathetic that somebody who
    volunteers to give expert advice for free, like you, is being attacked by people who are less knowledgeable.
    And that it comes to a point that these experts have to 'apologize' for being so knowledgeable, instead to be thanked for their advice and help.

    Your writing style, grammar, spelling, punctuation, all are of highest caliber, I congratulate you for this.

    And I have never spotted a typo! (I might have missed one, but I do not think so).

    Please keep on giving us your expert advice, thank you!
    How ridiculous and pathetic, rather slupid!...
    Go and drown yourself in drugs and medicaments, we'll see who bites the dust first!

    Another Xanax-druggie?!

    Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is

    if that is all they WANT to type.   Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?


    You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones.   Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between. 


    This really is pathetic. 5 years ago I started out with .07 and they are still only paying that?

    You're really looking pathetic here. Notice how everyone thinks so? Move on. nm

    When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
    leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
    The person MTSO pays is the person who
    dsf
    One person's "custom" is another person's
    "house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.

    Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.

    I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
    i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
    I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
    Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
    any money.  You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude.  Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money.  I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl.  I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl.  But I'm not sitting around whining either.  And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
    The one person I know who his doing VR....
    isn't filling in words, she's having to reconfigure and restructure to the entire report, to the point it would be much easier and faster to just transcribe it.  And over several months' time, it hasn't gotten one iota better.  I'll believe the "fill in the word" editing when I see it.
    like the person below said------

    no friend of medical transcriptionists for one thing


    and when I met her my only thought was well that must have been


    the personification of Marian the Librarian.


    I would have thought she'd have retired to a garden pruning weeds by now and gotten her extremism out of our lives.  But no such luck.


    This person cannot
    do anything unless he has a document that was signed by your daughter indicating that he loaned her money using the motorcycle as collateral.  To get this person to leave you alone, you may want to have an attorney give this person a call to pose this question (regarding signed doc).  I have had a situation occur, not necessarily like yours, but I needed an attorney to write a letter in order to cease the situation and the attorney only charged my $50.  The letter took care of the problem. 
    This person (Taz) is
    a perfect example of what I just stated.  This world is going to hell in an elaborately decorated hand basket. 
    So one person (YOU) is MOST MT's?
    I make more than you do anyway and I left MT so LOL yourself and good luck finding a job in 5-10 years when this one goes the way of the mule skinner.
    wonder if it's the same person?
    From VA?

    QA person here(sm)
    I QA by cutting and pasting the error; preferably as much of the sentence as I can so they at least have an idea of what I am correcting and why. I also cut and paste my corrections. I also give them hints on how to research, including links.

    I'm not sure that (d) up there sounds very nice. New MTs CAN be taught a great deal, but to have that "edge" on them only scares them more. I've been on both ends, as a beginning MT and as QA. I remember the feedback that helped me most and it was often delivered in a friendly helpful manner, no warning shots, etc.
    As the other person said, Go For It!
    It was supposed to be a 2 year course at the Community College, but the way that the courses were setup and with working, took me 2 1/2 years. Not bad for an *ol' gal!*  Was just very proud of myself because at the time, I had a hunch that some people around me were thinking *she'll never do it,* and I did, with flying colors!!  I'm sure you have some support behind you, so you should be good to go!!  Anyway, if you don't do it, you'll always be wondering *what if,* so just do it!!  Like a friend asked me, "But I'll be 10 years older when I finish?!"  My answer, "You'll be 10 years older if you don't."  LOL!
    I'm not so sure it's that person....sm

    It could be anyone of about a hundred malcontents.  You cannot *assume* on these boards - only the Administrator and Moderators could verify if it's that poster or not.  Personally, I don't care who the posters are in reality.  I just think what with all the strife going on in the world EVERYWHERE that people/posters should just be a tad kinder in the life. 


    Envy is fine - envy is like you're happy for that person but wish you were *there* - whereas jealousy (albeit it might be universal) is very unhealthy and nasty, negative, and people wishing to take other people down notches by posting nasty remarks.  Oh well, some people just are more comfortable with the negative and nasty in life (guess their cups are always half empty) - but some of us choose to be positive and not nasty (cups being half full).  It's all a matter of choice.


    Take care and have fun!!

    QA person from MQ please

    Hi I have a friend considering changing compaines and coming in as a QA person.  She is on the fence can anyone give me some feedback is MQ QA any good, what and how do they pay...Do they treat you ok?  She is in the grass is greener syndrome working at another co.  I just left MQ for another field I wasn't happy as an MT.  Trying to help out a friend thats all..


    QA Person
    Thank you so much! I feel so much better having heard from you today. I have had the hyphen battle with this person in QA forever it seems and I have continued to follow as shown in the Book of Style. In my heart of hearts I felt I was correct. I plan to take your much appreciated advice and keep typing it the way I have been. I am so thrilled to know that a person in QA agrees that at times the MT gets mixed signals. Now I do not feel so alone. At times I wonder if some people in QA forget how it was before they were in those shoes. I have 2+ years experience and at times I still feel like a newbie fresh out of school. Just wish some QA would be more tolerant -- especially when the MT really does follow the Book of Style. Thanks again!!! Bless you!!! Wish you were my QA . . . at least you seem like you can still relate to how difficult the MT work can be on the otherside of the fence.
    Said something about 6 cpl from a person
    whose English was atrocious. This person really should pay someone to hire them.
    This person is not looking for *help*. sm
    She is looking for employees by asking for help and then sending you an email asking for your resume. something suspicious here.
    this person is probably just......
    trying to protect his or her own job security, so the company does not get job overhire! I would probably do the same. I found my own really good job after 7 years of searching, and I LOVE IT!
    I'd tell her RIGHT NOW that the person isn't
    if you are going to continue to proof her work.  No sense in dragging it out.  If someone is going to make it as an MT, you know that fairly quickly.
    Please tell me what a person is doing
    when the scope is used. I have seen it and do not know exactly what they are doing. Thanks.
    You are not the same person.

    Maybe the only person they could get who would - (sm)
    "speak for 6 cents a line?"


    MT person

    Well in 4 hours I did over 1600 lines @.125 per line plus one hour of printing and delivering and that equals over $200 which equals $40 to $50 per hour.
