Yes! a new outfit for under $20...
I'm in the mood to go shopping tomorrow...
you know as couples go, angelina and billy bob were perfect skanks for each other. perfect!
i suspect they may get back together because they are both so skanky no one else can keep up.  that is unless she decides she wants her brother more which is skankier.
Their skin is not a choice. To commit sodomy with a man is a choice.
I don't care if they are attracted to men or dogs or goats. I care that they act upon it.

It's selling-out because you're supporting an outfit
for more and more offshoring of American work, that's why. And when the possibility of plugging the leak by passing a bill to forbid offshoring of Amercians' info. without their consent, or another one getting rid of MTSO perks for offshoring our jobs goes to Congress, who do you think will be spending YOUR money to lobby against the passage of those bills, thereby possibly keeping YOUR job safe? You guessed it - AHDI. These people are all snakes. Passing a test and getting some fake letters after your name might make you feel better than other MTs, but it doesn't MAKE you, or any other MT better. What makes us better is on-the-job experience, not the shady auspices of the AHDI scammers.
E. It is not my choice to make, it is their choice.
Every job has its pros and cons.  The more US MTs we can bring in is that many fewer jobs going overseas.  Besides, I like my job.
Not much of a choice is it
Not on VR yet. I have not heard one thing about VR, the checks being sent out or the pay letters. Been here 8 years. Everything I have found out about is off this website and that is pretty sad.
I think if I had a choice
between being beautiful and childish and stupid or being ugly and gruesome in appearance. I'd choose ugly and gruesome any day. You may think that what you are doing is funny, and it may be funny to you, but most of us fail to see the humor.
Bad choice
I work for Transhealth and very bad choice to go work for, take it from me. I have been working there for couple of years and have stayed on for circumstances beyond my control but am planning to leave hopefully by end of this year if not sooner.
It's my choice
If I don't chose to patronize a store, it's MY choice, regardless of the reasons. The person asking the questions asked me where I would shop if I didn't go to Wal-Mart, so I told her. My reasons are my reasons, so bug off.
try First Choice

not by choice
Whether any of us likes it or not, 10% of the population will be gay. I have not seen the movie but intend to see it. I think it would be rather naive to think that a gay cowboy has never existed. While I believe it would not be appropriate for children just as it would not be appropriate for children to see straight adult-theme movies, I don't believe gays are pushing this movie. Whether you or are approve or disapprove of gays, they are a fact of life. While I worked in hospitals in days gone by, many employees were gay and I got to be good friends with many gays. Trust me, from what I have been told by many gays, they would not wish this on any one. Gays are for the most part born this way. I would no more expect a gay person to do something inappropriate in front of me as any of my straight friends.
His choice! nm

First Choice does, too. nm

If you had the choice would you....sm
go hourly as a QA Editor or stay production as an MT?  I have the chance to take a job as an QA/editor making between around $14+ an hour.  I know I could make more as a production MT, but then you have the worry of work flow, ect.  I was just wondering for those who made the transition if you like the change or ended up going back production.  Thanks.
We have no choice...
Sally, I appreciate your post and what you have to say. However, if you want to work from home and the nationals will not pay more for your services, what exactly are you to do? If you have advice for me, I would sure like to hear it. I have over 20 years of experience in this field. When I started in 1984, I made 10 cents per line; I now make 9 cents per line. Times have changed for us, and not for the better. I would love to hear others' comments on this issue as well. And, yes, we are definitely worth more!
Job choice
You will have 2 days off a week, you will see your kids then. In the meantime, they will get to spend evenings with their Dad while you work. Looks like a win/win to me.

Also, you'll be modeling ambition, hard work, and motivation to your 3 kids - pretty great mothering in my opinion.
if I had a choice
I'd take your place over theirs any day, Hayseed, including the pig!  Grass and manure beats asphalt and exhaust any day!  They have a house.  You have a home. 
I would say that you really have no choice.
errors.  I would present it as a probationary period.  I would cut the rate, and then once the proofing need not be done, then up the rate.  If you have to proof after 5 years, then you are defeating your purpose no doubt.  Good luck. 
Everyone here has a choice and I see
people would rather sit and wait for work and be almost in poverty so they can spend time with their child. Oh, yeh, makes a lot of sense to me. I said nothing about fancy home but I was able to take my children on really nice vacations and years later am thanked for those times. There is nothing wrong in having goals in life and working hard to get them. I am so thankful I have an excellent work ethic. I noticed you MTmom was one who wrote they were just sitting there waiting for work. Have fun
Given my choice
What I would like to see is my tax dollars redirected from black holes like Iraq and directed to health care. Or maybe taken away from some of the pork projects to pay for it. Would I personally be willing to pay another $50/check to have insurance (which is all your 10% tax increase amounts to)? You bet your sweet petootie, I would. It's still a much better deal than my MTSO is offering at $400/month.

As to wait times, I used to have Kaiser...wait times for non-emergent consults and procedures were easily 6-8 weeks. Not as bad as Canada but not the pie-in-the-sky spontaneous that you would like to imply.
But perhaps you should! Eye are not perfect! (as above)
A second look never hurts!
perfect
well i'm glad you've never made a mistake or wrong decision in your life. you have no idea what went through his head while he was there, and you have no idea what his situation was, or how he was feeling or anything. i wish my husband could be as perfect as you. ha, but then he would also be heartless.
Of course, nobody is perfect
but when your rate of pay depends on your QA score and you have endless pages of style guides to memorize, then one would expect the QA people to already know all of that information. I have done QA in the past as well and what I didn't remember, I would look up and many times learned things from the MT!!
Perfect!! Thanks so much.


Thank you!  Exactly what I was looking for. 


Have a great day


Sunny


Perfect!!!! nm

perfect job for me.... sm
Why? Because I love this job and doing it from home just makes it so much better. I get to work in my jammies without makeup, deciding what to wear, traffic, long lines at the donut shop, fighting for the optimal parking spot, office politics, the boss's "favorite", backstabbing, nit picking, monitored bathroom breaks and phone calls, etc. I do acute care for a large hospital and every report is different. It keeps my brain motivated and my fingers moving. It ain't perfect, but I love it.

I like how a transcription company can't spell transcribing....lol.
Perfect example of why we need QA ... it is
Truly laughing out loud here!

Lee Perfect
Hi was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this company. Thanks.
lee perfect
do a search on Company Board, not under Google, but under MTStars. They use Emdat platform, which a lot of people do not like. I feel there is a turnover there, as the same jobs are advertised always. They are IC.
I don't get it, either. If we were all perfect,

Perfect VR/ASR
Remember that the better it gets, the less you will be needed.
PERFECT!!!
Thank you so much!!!  You have no idea (or maybe you do) how excited I am about this!!!  I just started using Word about 6 months ago and I have been cursing the fact that I have had to get used to using my arrow keys to get around the templates.  BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!
This is a perfect example of why
we are losing our jobs.  After 7 years you still don't understand the terminology?  Oh Vey!
Wow! That is perfect!
That is exactly what I need.  May I copy it and use it?  You are so helpful! 
No one is perfect

I had a doctor tell me that he got a report back with fecal sac.  He laughed when he told the story.  It can happen to the best of us.  Try not to let it get you down.


Transolutions is a bad choice!!

not her mother's choice
Glitter eyemakeup? False eyelashes? What channel are you watching? Maybe you should put on a pair of glasses, and maybe then you would have seen her crying. I think the arubans investigation stinks and so does their goverment.YOUR THE LOON, NOT BETH TWITTY.
Nice choice!! :)) ........

I make my kids sing some Temptations when I have them prisoner in the car.   Ball of Confusion ...


Sophie's Choice. sm
I only have one grown child, but asking me my fav Beatles song is like asking Sophie to pick one child to live or die.  I love Something (Harrison), Imagine (Lennon), Yesterday (McCartney), and Let it Be - Lennon and McCartney.  That would be my Sophie's choice, Let It Be - I have had to apply that concept in my life.
Dateless by choice ...sm
I'll take bored over miserable anytime!!!  If you're seriously looking for a relationship or even just a date, the odds of her showing up at your front door are slim to none... and you're certainly not going to find any romance here.  There are many dating websites where you can get to know someone from your area.  Try match.com.
She is in this situation by her own choice.
puh-leeze
Well, we don't have a choice when we visit...
It is an offer my husband's company is making. I live in Houston, so 100 degree weather is nothing new to me. I love the summer and I love the beach, so none of those reasons would keep me away. I am looking quite forward to it to be honest. It is beautiful there, at least the area we will be living in.
Been there, doing that, wish I had made a better choice.
My personal experience with the good captain has also been unsettling.  I have been with them for almost a year and it has been bad for half of that.  Man am I tired of bounced checks, late checks, no work, and ridiculous reasoning.  I have been appling with other companies but have not found anything yet.  Good luck and lets hope the ship doesn't sink until we get off!!!
Tough choice, for sure.
Are you married? If so, does your husband's income pay the bills? If that is the case, then I would tell you without hesitation to go to Andrews. The mentorship might be a good option if you feel confident they will teach you enough to make you employable at other companies and not just their own. An Andrews education would ensure you employability with many different companies and would secure your future in a way that mentorship may not. Again, this depends on the company doing the mentoring and I have no information on this particular company so I can't speak to that. I do know that Andrews graduates are work-ready and that Andrews will help facilitate job placement as well. (I have no affiliation with Andrews, for the record. I am an MTSO that hires and fires and just know from experience that Andrews graduates are always well-trained.)

If you simply cannot afford to give up the job you have now and you can't work the mentorship around your current job, you still might be able to study with Andrews and work that around your current job since I believe with Andrews, you can work at your own pace. M-Tec is another good school that I believe also allows you to work at your own pace.

Good luck to you!
a bad career choice

As an IC I make the choice whether or not....(sm)
to accept 5, 6, or 7 cpl.  I personally will not work for that, but there are many MTs who must in order to pay their bills.  I started off five years ago making more than I am now due the changes with India and such.  When I am looking for a job, I have to weed through the low offers, but still I have never received an offer or negotiated a rate higher than 8 point something to start off in the last three years.  The higher pay is just not there (at least for me with my five years of experience).
I think it's the Weapon of Choice - sm
video he did that makes me think of him as "sexy."
which means it was her CHOICE
nm
Everyone is telling her she has no choice
because if her employer says "jump", she should say "how high". What was she supposed to do when they said work from home, say "No". She was just criticized on an earlier post for standing up for herself and telling her employer no. There are many on this site that have to be "right" about everything. Contradiction is not "right".
