This will be fun, but we'll be showing our age. It must be things y ou actually remember. List as many as you want and you can separate into 'as a child' or 'as a teenager' but be truthful.  I'll begin:

As a child I remember when:

TV's were big boxes that sat on the floor.  Only black and white picture - no color.

Cars were all manual shift (my mom drove)

As a teen I remember when:

Gas was 25 cents a gallon, then the 'oil crisis' hit and it doubled to 50 cents - cost more to fill up my '65 mustang.

Bread was 35 cents a loaf.

Oh for the good ol days!

My favorite person in this business is a QA person who always helps me.  I have never had any badness with QA people, I'm an MT/ME.  Maybe that person who posted the nasty post about QA-ers had a bad experience but to condemn ALL QA-ers is NOT RIGHT AND NOT FAIR.

I thank QA people, especially the communicative ones, for all their help over the years!!!

I replied to the post above that says I have lied.

My post where I replied with information to show I had not lied was removed - I figured because I put the recruiter's name and phone number (which the rude poster had requested) so I reposted and gave directions on how to reach that same information/recruiter I received the information from.

Now that second post has been removed where I reposted and only put that it was a specific state recruiter of MQ who told me such information.

So why is MTStars administrator wanting to give the readers of this board the impression that it is a lie that MQ cuts off work to SE when work is low, yet does not tell the SEs? 

I have not lied.  It is what I was told when I called.  I think it's information people considering that company should know and probably do not know.

I have not been ugly to MQ and I have not been inappropriate.  I merely shared a policy I found quite interesting and important.

I hope you give explanation here for your action.  I thought this board was for transcriptionists.

Thank you.

is advertising and research the companies that seem to have the best to offer and find out if they truly are the ones with the best to offer.  In this business, there are a lot more considerations when looking for a job than just cents per line.

Good Luck!
