glad to see your pilot post

In Reply to: Pilots - Not quite
I read an article in New York magazine about this shortly after the guy ditched the plane in the Hudson. A comment made by one of the pilots interviewed was that pilots used to be one step below astronauts and are now one step above busdrivers, which really rings true. I was aware of lots of changes in the airline industry, just did not realize the pilot situation. When I think about my recent cuts in pay, I now think of them, with all that responsibility, and my situation somehow seems easier to take.

thanks, C-msg...I downloaded 'sount pilot' which is the trial...
I just downloaded the home typist and will check it out...Appreciate your help!
Glad to see someone post this. sm
A while ago we were told to put this on the recipe board which I found totally bogus. There have been so many "redirects" on this board that, if you really look at it, everything could be redirected.
Oh, and boiled ham dinner tonight. Eeeeew. I hate it, hubby and kids love it. I made myself a tuna melt.
I'm so glad to read your post. I was
surprised that most of the people who posted didn't even think it was a big deal. To put Cubby, a tame bear, in a cage where he was helpless and shoot him with a bow and arrow and watch him die is horrible and pathetic. Kinda like our Vice President being driven out to shoot little birds that were released from the back of a pickup truck so he could shoot them before they barely got off the ground. What kind of people are these??? I know some people like to hunt, but this isn't hunting. There is no sport to it. Ugh. It makes me absolutely sick!! 
It's a one-trick pony that requires us to sit on our butts on auto-pilot all day
Yeah, we do need to know terminology and how to use a computer to locate information, but every job has specifics that are required. How extensive is the knowledge we need if you think about it? We do the same thing every day, every month, every year like a hamster running in a wheel to nowhere.
Thanks for this post. Glad that you are doing well, and hopefully the next year will treat you even
better. Blessings!
Glad you liked the post, I saw Sylvia Browne
here in Atlanta last year and she is due back next month again. She really makes a lot of sense when you listen and most of her show you are listening to her talk. Very intelligent lady, very insightful. I took her advice about the toxic relationships one can have around them regarding a son. I am far too past the age to let anyone, and I underscore that anyone, talk down to me, disrespect me, abuse me, disparage me. I say what I want because I tell the truth and find that is a good way to live. You say the people speaking to you are related to you. They, most of all, should be giving you a boost rather than saying hurtful things to you. You say you have her books. Read them carefully. I have even seen her on Montel say exactly the same thing she said in her show about toxic people. My son, his wife and their children live less than 30 minutes from me but I do not call, do not go that way, am so much happier now. I did everything I could for them and finally just gave up and threw in the towel. They know where I live, my phone # and if they want to, they can contact me- otherwise I am just a happy clam here in my home. Good luck and get that chin up!!
Glad I could help and glad you got your setup going. nm

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line. Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with. At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone). At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight. It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat. Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are. You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents?? They sound whacked. Please be careful.
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post
Sorry
The job post has been removed and they are unable to post further.
t
my post did not all post in the subject, my apologies...
I think you can get the idea.
thanks.
Excellent post! I copied this post and...
am going to show it to my shrink so he can understand my frustration with my new "profession!" By the way, how much you wanna bet he pulls in 300$ an hour and has two years of schooling on me! Hmmmmmmm. Okay, you flamers, don't tell me to go back to school...I am thinking about it. Hmmmm
Because my post was deleted in reference to the above post, sm
Ladies-once again, I apologize for coming across as a witch in the above post. I appreciate the links and the time spent on posting them.
OOPS. Post for magnent post below...nm

Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

Here's an URL for the medical transcription division of PRN Funding, BTW:

what mean post made you post your post
 Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
be glad to.
let me finish my job (another 30 min or so) and i will find the verse.
Glad I could help ! .nm

Thank you - I'm glad to see that there is sm
somebody here that's intelligent enough to tell the difference. I wasn't looking for advice. I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced anything similar.
I guess I should have known better than to post anything here.
Glad I'm not alone. sm
I always just try to consider the source. The sad part is that the people, whomever they may be, who makes these hateful posts on ALL boards are either 1) Trolls or 2) Very unhappy people.
I am so glad I did not take the job with them..s
I am glad I did NOT take the job with that office...sorry pay to boot...7 cpl.
I'm so glad! Also, ...sm
I hate that you cried yourself to sleep all night. It's too much pain for anyone to bear, and I've been crying too. Your post reassured me that I'm not being overdramatic about feeling so compassion for our furry friends. My husband is getting tired of hearing me talk about the those poor dogs down there. I also want to drive there and get some of them. If I don't hear from Best Friends soon about being a foster parent to dogs belonging to the evacuees, I may just do that. (Best Friends says they will transport the pet(s) to you, no matter where you live). Time was of the essence for some of those dogs I saw on the news, and that was yesterday a.m.
Hope someone can get word to the little boy that his pet is located and safe - don't know how though. All I can think about is the little boy worrying about his pet. If he knew his little buddy was OK, he might have some comfort and lessen the pain.
I glad I could be of help!
I know that the decision to homeschool is a mammouth one and can almost be mind boggling! Try to fine a homeschool support group. The public library often knows of them and can direct you or sometimes churches will have large support groups. Call around. I am from Indiana and our state's homeschool office is called Indiana's Association of Home Educators. I know they can give you all the info you need if your from the Hoosier state!
I am so glad this came up...
Please, can you tell me, I am 100% hooked on this program (the sound does not interfere a bit with the dictation for me); however, I did not know it was only a free trial. Supposedly, I only have 15 days left.
Help! Now I have sound pilot. Is home typist different, and if it is, is it free and how would I download that?
Did you have to pay for yours?
I am so grateful to you for posting this originally because it has really helped me...
For the poster previously, "sis," if you read this there are a bunch of other sounds you can download. I switched to the "smith-corona" sound and it is a little softer sound, like the old electric typewriters...
So glad someone had a
chance to read it before it's deleted. 
Glad to see there are more too
Being 33 and single without kids and no man or one in sight, just meeting guys who are afraid to commit..well thats my life. I feel kind of judged by people, esp friends who have gone on to marry, some have gotten divorced, but even the divorced ones look down upon me. Like i'm the bad one to not have gotten married and divorced yet. These guys just drain me, it seems like so much work to keep one around let alone faithful. I've got work and school though.
Glad U like it!
Same 2U!
That is what I do. Glad to see others doing the same. nm

Wow. I'm glad
I'm not that wasteful to just fill up our landfills with perfectly good food.
glad I could help....*S*....nm

I am glad I was of some help. :) nm
I'm glad you said this
The docs never stop dictating. Sometimes a hospital will allow another service to come in for a trial run. Sometimes they funnel all work to the 'trial run' company and sometimes they will funnel a portion. Wanna know why hospitals do this...
1. TAT is not always met...because MTs call in sick and ICs don't keep a consistent schedule and work sits for days waiting to be typed.
2. Hospital continuously gets lousy work...because MTs who have been released from QA upload lousy work because they are more focused on getting more lines instead of producing a quality product.
I know this because I have worked in hospital administration before. I am now an MT. Many MTs gripe and moan about getting fired or not having enough work. What you guys don't seem to realize is that a lot of this is due to MTs who have a poor work ethic.
Everytime you call in sick, you cause an avalanche of issues. Because you work from home, many of you don't understand the concept of 'teamwork'. You see things as they apply to you and not the big picture. MTSOs are under a lot of pressure to find good MTs who will provide a quality product to the client.
MTs are probably the most job hopping people there are. It is very difficult to keep a client happy and make sure TATs are met when you have 10 MTs off 'sick' each day. It's also very difficult to keep a client happy when they have 10 or more crappy reports uploaded each day.
A hospital can drop an MTSO and move on to another. Well guess what...the account that you were hired for is no longer. You also have companies who hire lots of ICs who work and work and work taking away work from the MT employees. I could go on and on but I'll stop here.
You are Welcome...glad I could help...nm
I am glad for you.
Instead of being jealous, I am inspired. So far I have only worked for a clinic as an employee (making very little money) or for companies, first as an employee and now as an subcontractor. The owner of the company I am with now is a wonderful person, but I am not making as much money as I need to make. I am looking into other ways to do it. I live in a rural area, so there are not as many opportunities as in more urban areas, but ever since I have been doing MT there has always been plenty of work to do. Most of it is being done by companies, but I am sure if I check around I can find some work that pays better. I personally know people who are doing well. I do not intend to totally give up what I have now and just sink or swim. I guess what I am saying is that most of us do make choices. Some of you may have circumstances that keep you from going it on your own. Even then, you do make choices. When I was working for a company, I enjoyed having paid time off. As an independent contractor, that is something you have to work around. If we just sit around and whine about what we make, we will never get out find something better.
I'm glad :-)
I'm glad it made you feel a little better . Good luck to you. I will be thinking and praying for you.
I, too, am glad to see him gone
He was a nice kid, I'm sure, but just wasn't mature enough, in my opinion, to be an American Idol. Give him a few years and he may grow on the public!
Now.....Let's hope Bucky goes next week!
Glad to know I'm not alone at 5' 2" :)
I was blessed with longer legs and a shorter torso though so chairs aren't a problem. My hubby is 5' 10" and he has a long torso and shorter legs and we both drive the car with the seat in the same position. (and yes I can see over the steering wheel). :)
Now top shelves. . . . .that's a whole different story. :) My boys are 6' 3" and almost 6 feet so, while I still have them around, I just yell to one of them when I need something up high.
I'm always rewarded with them teasingly resting their elbow on my head though.
Older daughter is 5' 6" and younger one is almost 5 feet already at 11. I'm destined to be the "little one."
I'm so glad she's gone!!
I absolutely hated her voice, it drove me crazy watching the show!! Her voice is great for church, but not for the real word and definitely not good enough to be an Americal Idol winner! I mean look at Fantasia, where the heck is she now?? I can see Chris getting pretty far in the business, but nobody really seems like they have the "it" factor like Kelly Clarkson did/does.
I'm glad
I'm glad somebody brought this up because I was thinking the same thing. It is a good thing to keep discussions focused but focusing them too narrowly can defeat the purpose of having a discussion. And then being scolded and having posts moved all over or deleted is really annoying. No offense, but it is. And before we are told to go elsewhere, would anybody be interested in a Yahoo discussion group for MTs where they can discuss things other than MT work? I know there is one group like that, which shall be nameless, that is dominated by a nasty clique. I would like to start a more friendly one if anybody is interested. Let me know!
You are welcome, glad you like it!

Me too - I'm glad it's not just me. He looks no different than anyone else you see every day.
What's the big deal?
so glad he's doing better!
 It's so hard with animals when they can't tell you what's wrong. Glad he's home again and feeling his old playful self ! 
Glad to help!

I'm glad to see that someone else...sm
doesn't pay their kids to do weekly chores. Our kids know they're responsible for cleaning their own rooms and bathroom and everyone takes a day of the week to vacuum the living room so that it's vacuumed every other day. I do sometimes offer them pay if they want to do extra chores i.e. pull weeds in the yard but not always. I tell them when they fuss about the regular chores and not getting paid for them that when they become an adult no one will pay them to clean their own house!
