You're a good person Paulette

and your mother is lucky to have at least one child who is willing to take responsibility and help her. Not that many years ago, extended families were the rule and not the exception. The truth of the matter is that unless a parent dies early, someone (be it a child, grandchild, or an institution) will probably have to take care of that parent (or parents) emotionally, physically, psychologically, and financially. For most of us, our parents cared for us when we were children and when they age the tables turn. I have 2 sisters who are willing to help with my mother but they live in other states and have no plans to move back to our hometown or homestate. Thus, I will be the one who becomes the caretaker.
I think you will have to sit down with your one brother (and his wife if he is married) and ask them for help that is on a more regular basis. Or, alternatively, just call him when you need him to help. Maybe he will get that hint (though he is male and hints go by undetected!).
I hope you find the relief and assistance you need. Take heart in the knowledge that you are doing the right thing.

To Paulette
Been reading some of these posts and it seems some posters do not know what unconditional love is. I would do the same for my mother or any other person I love in a heartbeat. Your brothers and sister are different, maybe they don't have the *compassion* gene and you are the good one. Doesn't mean you are a martyr. I could not turn my back on a loved one either no matter what the other family members choose to do. Ask these posters what they'd be willing to do for one of their kids in a similar situation. I've seen many bend over backwards for kids who are no prizes and live their lives for them and not themselves. I would try to get outside help or aid as one of the other posters said to releive some of the stress or even think about counseling for guidance. But I appluad you for being the wonderful person you are and I hope you find some peace.
This person has no idea what they're saying.
They're letting their emotions rise to the top without a full understanding of the situation.
Did you read Paulette's post below?
Sorry, I don't think you're going to get sympathy here today. Brace up and good luck honey.
Paulette, I'm sorry but this sounds like an awful
situation all around. That is definitely not enough money for a management type position, benefits or not. I have had management positions paying over 40000 both at home and in offices with benefits. I think you are being taken advantage of, big time! I would take the MT job if you are experienced and can do around 200 lines an hour. Even if you make 30000 a year and have to pay say 100 a month for benefits, it would be worth it, I think. JMO.
Oh if you think a person is beautiful, you're a lesbian? HMMM
What planet are you on? God thinks all are beautiful, does that mean he is gay? Didn't mean to get you in such an uproar. But I stick to Angelina being a beautiful person. She helps people in need. You ridicule people..see the difference?
Can't your set-up person talk you through this? Or call Dictaphone direct if you're

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.
You're absolutely right - I wouldn't recommend this profession to a young person either.
and no respect for it
On 2nd thought, if you're NOT a good Italian style cook, make something you ARE good at. Leave th

no, you are NOT a sucker - you are a good person
There is always a story behind a story isn't there? The little girl desperately needs some psychological help and I hope she lives in a state that will provide it, if her father doesn't have insurance.
She is hurting big time.
You are a wonderful person to hold out your hand in friendship like that - I envy your neighbor. Good luck to you all.
If you think $14 is good then you must not have been a QA person for very long
That is not good. I make much more than that per hour doing QA. Be careful too because I hear they also do not pay on time.
be a good little person and get off Mom's puter
 
A good HR person would know in 30 minutes

I don’t think I would hold yourself as a good person
and putting God into the subject (you said above you gave to the church- I find that questionable, doubt you attend church and if you do not doing you any good)- back to the subject though- you are a devious person who probably would stop at nothing to get what they want, including knocking folks off for their insurance money.
the receipt function is only as good as the person --sm
receiving it. She is not *obligated* to send a receipt back. most people choose not to. they do not HAVE to. and I doubt her email is encrypted for HIPAA compliance.
I totally agree. He's a very good-hearted person. nm

Finally a good answer to this person's question--sm
I am always stunned at how insensitive and rude some people can be in their answers and some of those below prove that to be the case. Try to remember that not everyone is like that, although it seems to be otherwise sometimes, on this board. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do!
It irritates me no end when a person who supposedly has good sense
to act like a horse's behind. I have tried explaining to an elderly relative I do not put a physician on a pedestel like they do because they are not almight and some downright ugly. The 1 you speak of has no "bedside" manners- the nerve of him! I had a physician tell me 1 time-after giving his word and then rescinding- only your word against mine - I then reminded him of my father's saying- a person is only as good as their word. Erks me big time.
Sounds like a good indicator of a domineering person
Probably best you avoided her, even if she is good.
The top talent isn't always worth all the fluffing it takes to get them to sit down and do their job! lol
We're out here (good MTs) but we're busy! sm
I don't recall ever taking an employment test where I wasn't offered a job. My MTSO does not even look at my work unless I happen to have a question or a blank, which happens maybe once in every 30 or so reports with an ESL. If you find a really good MT, how much training would be involved? Certainly you would save time in the long run once they're trained and you don't have to check all their work.
If you're new, good - if you're not a newbie, not so hot
Would need to know how long you have been an MT. For a newbie, this is a pretty good rate of speed.
However, if you have anything over a couple years of experience, then this is not too hot.
Also, what are the dictators like? Is it a "United Nations" account??
If you ARE capable of 200 lph or more and you can't seem to get it, then the problem has got to be with the platform you are using. In my experience, the platform into which you transcribe can make or break your paycheck - so if the platform stinks, then I hate to tell you, but there is no way you will be able to improve your line rate. I have quit jobs because of awful platforms more than once.
Oh good grief! No way. The only Dixie I know of is a forensic medicine person...
not a former bank manager. Maybe there are 2 of them.
You can if you're good!
Well they're not very good about them in
xx
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.
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.
Actually, they're usually really good kids.
Especially when compared to most of the kids these days. But just like any other kids, they do get bored. This summer has been weird because most of their friends are "visiting their fathers" for the summer, so there's no one around to play with. And it's been unusually hot and rainy, so they're cooped up inside a lot. Besides, they didn't hit me on purpose. They lost a couple of Hot Wheels today, got a lecture about throwing things in the house, had to kiss Mom's head, and did slave duty. Now they're all in bed early so I'm getting a jump on tomorrow's work.
Then you're doing yourself a disservice, just because the sex is good.
Whether you're "committed" or not, you're also miserable and likely so are your children. Too bad.
You're missing out - there are many good
drinks with very little alcohol that taste really good, like frozen peach margaritas or some of those other fancy drinks. Yum!
Movies that are so bad they're good.
I'm gonna check that one out. I love movies like that. Nicholas Cage in Vampire's Kiss - same story, very young, bad movie, but boy did he give it his all. Talk about over acting.
If you're good enough, I don't think those years
will matter.
Sorry, I don't know of a specific company. Hubby gets benefits, so that's never been a factor for me. I work for MQ right now, which I'm trying to get out of and have started another PT job. That one's good, but it is IC with no benefits. MQ does have benefits, but I really don't know how they are.
I would suggest posting on the company board and asking more specific questions, i.e., what are some companies that have decent insurance, do any companies give paid holidays, etc.
In all honesty, you probably won't find a company that fits all you want. You may have to decide which are most important and go from there.
You're right, can't find a good one
My platform is down and I'm always up for a good challenge, but I think part of the problem may be is that just a "physical therapy" reference/search site is too general as there are so many facets to PT,such as ortho, cardio, etc. I've looked for a good site for this for over an hour, hopefully someone has one right at their fingertips. Good luck.
oh puhleeeeze. you're just too good for color TV. nm

Good thing they're so cute or we'd really get mad at them!
Sometimes cuteness is a life-sustaining mechanism, especially for my 6 previous little fur-ballz.
Good for you - we're not all nasty on this board
Good point! You're funny! :-) (sm)
She is a mess, however, my best girlfriend heard that she just signed a contract for 3, count 'em, THREE more years. How can this be?? Simon will make this his last year unless they offer him another mint to stay. I can't imagine.
Hope you're good with accents! sm
All customer service is outside of the US and I had a really tough time communicating with them. Also if you choose to discontinue early there's a whopping $90 fee that's buried in the fine print.
I used Vonage with broadband satellite for 2 months and it disconnected frequently on me....my satellite has been stable for years with multiple platforms so I suspect Vonage is just not suited for satellite. Just a heads up!
You're good for awhile, don't worry!
If you wear out a keyboard, then worry! Had my laptop since 9/11, can still read the keys or in a few keys almost invisible but, I know where they are! Do well! Quit being nervous, it slows you down!
You're so kind, thank you for the good thoughts! sm
She does have to be on a high-fiber diet. They think this might be related to H-pylori, even though she tested negative for it. I told her lets not worry until we have to, easier said than done, but she is a worrier, and yes, I have inherited that from her as well:) I was reading up on this MALT lymphoma and if that's what she has, it looks like it is pretty treatable if caught in the early stages, so we will pray. Thanks again. I will update when I know more. Thanks for posting - means a lot:)

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

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.
