From what the OP said, she wouldn’t have even known about the call if her husband hadn’t shared the information. Why would he create suspicion where there is none?
The only thing the OP’s husband did was answer his phone and tell his wife about the conversation. How many times a day do you answer a phone? How many times do you mention a call in conversation? He may have only mentioned it because he was amused by his friend’s childish ways. If the OP’s husband doesn’t want his friend using him as an answering service, then he needs to discuss that with his friend. It is between the two men.
What did the woman who called do wrong? She was given a number to reach someone at, and she called the number. If someone gives you a number to call, you assume it is okay to call that number. She may have even had a legitimate reason to get in touch with the guy.
Calling the friend’s wife would only humiliate and embarrass her. If her husband is a cheat, and there is no proof that he is, she knows. When she is ready to accept that information and handle it in her own way, she’ll do that. It is also possible that her husband isn’t cheating or that she doesn’t care if he’s cheating.
This situation has obviously caused tension for the OP. Maybe this is bothering her so much because she already has suspicions, if so, she needs to figure out if her suspicions are valid or if it is how own insecurities. She should then discuss her feelings with her husband calmly and rationally; freaking out or getting loud doesn’t make anyone hear you any better, in fact, the opposite is true. Just because someone else’s husband is a skank doesn’t mean her husband is a skank. It isn’t fair to convict this man of anything other than answering his phone and having a friend with poor judgement.

You spending 3K in gasoline to make 4K plus all that time on the road?That doesn't make sense Pat
This doesn't even make sense - sm
Why are you getting these reports? Were you told or asked to do this? I don't get this at all, especially since you aren't QA.
What? That doesn't make sense. sm
How would the house be worth less than she paid in legal fees to keep it in the divorce? Even if she paid $20,000 in attorney fees, she still came out the winner. These houses look beautiful, and it sounds as though she enjoys hers very much. Did you actually look at the photos, and read her description? You said you didn't think she's be able to give it away much less sell it, and that statement is just crazy.
That doesn't make any sense then
I can't believe the trees would make any difference beaming to a satellite especially if you are able to get Dish Network.
doesn't make any sense--sm
explain "in the year you reach full retirement.." and "until the month you reach full retirement." very confusing.
it doesn't make sense (sm)
Do you really think Stedman's is going to make everything available for free?
This person has posted this link at least twice - who knows what it might be putting on your computer.
I haven't clicked the link and don't intend to. It can't be a legit link.

think newbies do MT? What? Well then what do you call all the newbies out of MT school who get jobs?
I'm not sure which is right, but either way, seems like it doesn't make sense to rebuild

Your comment doesn't make sense.
Maybe you're not talking about the same India/Indians, but what ytou said doesn't make sense. If they outsource most of their work to India, how do they "not" pay Indians? Explain, please.
This message doesn't make a lot of sense.
If you owe $$ to the state, that has nothing to do with how fast you tax return will be done. You pay when you file, simple enough. If you want to pay and then file, then write the check today and stick it in the mail. Since you don't say what state you live in, I'll assume that your 2007 quarterly tax deadline is the same as everyone else's--1/15/08. If you have no idea, then the last place to be asking for advice on this matter is this board. Go to your state's website and check their revenue page.
no offense, but that really doesn't make any sense
6/cpl is 6/cpl and that's 3 cents less per line than 9/cpl.
Still doesn't make sense content-wise.
A flax is gonna take care of the patient? I'm not comfortable that is correct.
Busy MT, your statement doesn't make a lot of sense. First of all, if US staff did walk out, MQ
one, because they don't have enough people in India to cover a large walkout and, two, their QA staff put out about maybe on a good day 70% quality. Even the quality that gets back to the client I work for now is horrible because there are certain MTs who apparently some not too bright supervisor thinks is producing work that is good enough to go to the client without being checked over and the hospital is having an absolute fit over it. I say, let em walk!
Doesn't sound round, makes no sense.
Make sense
She didn't send her daughter off anywhere. The girl was 18 right??? She is an adult and can go wherever she wants at that age. What could her mother do? And how do YOU know if you would shoot your mouth off or not if YOUR child was killed and taken from you? How do you know what you would do?
She will never see her daughter again. Hello, of course she is handling it badly. GEEZ. HELLO??????
LOL you make sense (sm)
I was just needing to vent so much, and almost gave a little more specifics which would have given it away what happened was very recent.
You make no sense to me. (sm)
Here is a professional discussing a problem with our profession ... and it is a problem. Not only don't you want to talk about it, but you seem offended that anybody else does?
It seems like you are confessing to be somebody who has a lot of feedback from QA, and it makes you mad, and they should stop because you don't care. Are we supposed to think you are smart and wonderful, and we should drop the conversation because you don't like it?
that would seem to make sense
Because you are now having to pay your own taxes. My husband and I figure 30% could go to taxes.
That does not make sense
if your salary slashed, what does that have to do with retaining quality blah, blah, blah. Not retaining, did they let everyone go, is that how the pay slashed?
right, that's bad and it does not make any sense!...nm

That did not make any sense..what are you talking about?

Your emails don't make sense
Not trying to be rude, but that does not make any sense to me. sm
If you are fast, the company would probably much rather pay you by the hour than the line. About 7-8 years ago, I was making $16/hour and killing myself. Now that I am paid by the line, I average $34/hour or so.
Sorry, that didn't make sense! I mean
I put yo in the abreviated and replace with year-old. So then when I type 15-yo, it replaces yo with year-old and is perfect!
What didn't make sense to me is the first
woman was shaking in fear, yet this bomb is supposed to be so delicate that anything will set it off. You see her arm shaking. Then she pulls her hand out, and what? the other woman happened to put her hand in there and is now clasping the bomb! and shaking.
I didn't last til the end. It just disgusted me too much. Kudos to you for hanging in there. It's good when you've got a show you really like and look forward to every week, so if that's yours, more power to ya! :)
this does not make sense to me as the IRS site clearly says
If you do not pay enough through withholding or estimated tax payments, you may be charged a penalty. If you do not pay enough by the due date of each payment period you may be charged a penalty even if you are due a refund when you file your tax return.
You must pay estimated tax for 2006 if both of the following apply.
You expect to owe at least $1000 in tax for 2006 after subtracting your withholding and credits.
You expect your withholding and credits to be less than the smaller of;
90% of the tax to be shown on your 2006 tax return, or
100% of the tax shown on your 2005 tax return. Your 2005 tax return must cover all 12 months.
So according to their own site, the only way you can pay yearly is if your husband has enough extra withheld that it equals what you paid in tax last year. Or you owe less than $1000...
Wouldn't it make sense to just ask QA
to explain their decision to you? In my experience, every single time an MT has a hissy fit over something, it was their mistake all along. How can you just assume QA is wrong? If you write and ask politely, you will have all the proof you need either way - if you were right, you have proof of your challenge of it, and if you are wrong, you may learn something new!  And you must not have even contacted QA, as otherwise you wouldn't have to ask your question at all!
Wouldn't make sense to me.
You'd have to go to school and try to learn a gazillion things that you perhaps aren't able to focus on because you have a cool new baby. So spend 9 months and $4000 on the education ... you might as well have just stayed home and enjoyed your baby and saved the child care, right?
I don't know what you are talking about. Try again tomorrow when you might make sense.
"edit my reports with eyes closed"? what has that got to do with anything?
Yeah, you make a lot of sense! Stupid.
Yeah, we are immature. I find it funny that you think people who enjoy their jobs are immature and have multiple personality disorders. So wake up ugly and go find a shrink.
Wouldn't it make more sense for the company
to hire someone for that shift, and that person could be a "stat" person in addition to typing a regular account? Nah, I guess that would be just too simple!
U make no sense. If paid per correction, why

This part of your posting does not make any sense...sm
You say:
'....Shouldn't be working production if you are not expert at the profession yet.'
Sure, a newvie is not an expert.
Only working production will make you an expert.
How else?
Boy, does this dictator have a way of putting things to make sense.
A 24-year-old married Hispanic male who does not speak English but we used an interpreter for him during each session who has been married 6 times with 3 children. 
it does get easier and eventually things make sense to you even when you can't understand -
I was doing a Irish doctor, I could understand the medical terms pretty well, it was the easier, more normal words, I had trouble with. Because of the lilting and very fast way he said it "three arteries and a vein" nearly drove me insane.
No offense, but your post didn't make any sense whatsoever.
Maybe you didn't explain it right, but I read and re-read and don't understand a thing you just said.
Not true. There are times that renting a home and leasing a car make more sense.
than outright purchase. Do your homework.
Of course you second this. That's what MQ managers do. Doesn't make it right
or relevant. Keep putting out those fires of MQ discontent, or at least until the big guns with the lawsuits put out MQ for good.
What a crummy job you have to defend big business against the little guys who are just trying to make a living. Kinda have to sell your soul doncha? 
doesn't this make the fed gov even more liable?
Think about it: If they knew how volatile this area was, shouldn't they have responded IMMEDIATELY to help the local gov? I imagine some people might have been afraid to go into some of those areas where murder and rape are an everyday occurrence...?
they knew how bad it was and how order was needed probably more than anyone did...
I make mistakes too (who doesn't?) but (sm)
some of the more obvious errors, like the difference in "their, they're, there", definitely spelled definately, accomodate, things like that are what I mean; they are not typos, but errors. If someone told me I was spelling "definitely" wrong, you'd better believe I would put it in my Expander or SOMETHING. I still say a lot of people just don't care and don't like being told anything.
That may be true, but it doesn't make it RIGHT. - sm
I think honesty and quality in the workplace should be more important than the Almighty Dollar. Especially when the people making MOST of the Almighty Dollars already have far more of them than they probably really need, and the MTs don't have enough of them to survive.
Just because she said it doesn't make it true! LOL
"Boredom comes from within." Well, what does that mean exactly? Yes, I'm sure boredeom does come from within because deep down inside I want to be challenged. I want to use my brain and find a career where I forget that I'm even working because I'm so engrossed in the task at hand. I don't think that job exists. Do you? Or maybe it does, but I just haven't found it yet. MT certainly isn't challenging any more. The only challenge for me is keeping a decent paying account that doesn't go to VR or offshore.
At job interviews, I always tell the interviewer that I like to be kept busy. Otherwise, I start clock watching and thinking about all the stuff that needs to be done around my house. Sometimes I wonder if I'm ADD because I was the same way in school. If the topic interested me, I was there. If it was boring, like government or history, I would totally zone out and not be able to concentrate. I guess we're all like that to an extent, right? It's just difficult to concentrate on MT lately because I know it's just another report with the same old physical exam section, the same diagnoses, the same plan. It's never going to end as long as I do this job. Every day, there's more work, more of the same old, same old. Yeah, I think I need to get out of MT. I don't even know if editing or QA would be challenging enough for me.
Just cuz the BOS says so, doesn't make it correct.

It doesn't make any difference...
whether you are an IC or not, the work still needs to be done... and it needs to be done 24/7. There are plenty of companies who pay a decent shift differential, but that isn't the point either. You should not always expect to get more in order to do what your job requires. And you come here and post a rant about how you cannot find a good job... I think it is quite obvious why. You are not willing to be flexible.
are you the same Laura E who did not even make 12k last year? That doesn't
sound like plenty of work. It sounds like PT and that does not mean that there is enough for FT.
No, that doesn't make you a horrible person.
Doesn't it make you just about "loose" your mind? (nm)

No, having a separate office doesn't make
me concentrate any better. The part that is nice about it is when I'm not working, I can close the door and not think about work. When I can't concentrate, I usually put in some soft music, light a stinky candle, make a cup of tea and force myself to type for at least one hour before taking a quickie break. I pretty much make a deal with myself as a reward to get it done.
Doesn't that make the software you go to sell on ebay
