HAHA! Yes! I have those daily! But it's not really work as I work nights, it's little things l
turning on the pool filter in the morning and then in the afternoon running out there because I thought I forgot to turn it on. Or preheating the oven and then 5 minutes later saying "shoot! I forgot to preheat the oven!" It's really bad. And I'm only 31. I'm not 90!
I don't know if dementia or Alzheimer's runs in my family, but this could be a sign of something to come. Or as my husband says - you jut don't pay attention to much. He's probably right!
Haha! Great minds at work! - nm

I wouldn't worry about it, unless you work in a small town.
I can't see any big hospitals or doctor's offices going back to that.
My point is, work a NORMAL EIGHT HOUR SHIFT..dont worry
It takes away from the quality and the turnaround time... 
Don't worry about it. In 5-6 years you'll have plenty to worry about!
A 10-year-old is never in a situation where anything can "happen," and they don't understand anything "happening" anyway. At this age they're only capable of "having a boyfriend" because that's what they see on TV - that's what the world "expects of us", to pair up and "like each other."
Her friends aren't talking about adult "things" to do in a "relationship" yet, and she doesn't even have those feelings, hormones, or needs yet so don't worry about it.
At 10, having a "boyfriend" is the equivalent to playing "dress up" or "make believe" and is just "sitting together in the cafeteria" at best.
Plus they move on to a new "boyfriend" in a week, a few weeks tops.
Relax, Mom. The part to worry about is yet to come and I wouldn't want to deal with that again for anything!
Best of luck and enjoy these years while you can.
I don't get it. Why do you just smile and tell
No offense, but we teach people how to treat us. Your idea of getting a sitter was a good one. After all, if it's just work he needs to do, he should be glad someone will be there to watch the kids. Of course, you know that's not the problem, but it's fun to make HIM admit to it, isn't it?
You've got your work cut out for you.
We all need to smile. sm
I just quit a job. From the first email, I could tell this person was not nice. I tried to make it work, but it didn't, so I'm moving on.
What I don't get is why the attitude? No one is so privileged in this business that they can afford to be nasty. The same way you come up may be the same way you go down, so smile along the way. It shows even in the emails. Smile! Makes the day go by more pleasantly.
I will let a smile be my umbrella when (sm)
more people get out and adopt a pet instead of just talking about it. It is really a problem and the shooting of innocent dogs is sickening.
I just adopted one and did my part. 
Smile all the way to the bank!

Just smile and say "thank you"
I have 2 that make me smile - sm
One is obviously an older ESL gentleman and he always says, "Thank you kindly for typing."
The other is younger and he says, "Thanks for typing this up and have a great day."
I smile, say "I don't have children, thanks." nm
thanks for the smile!! Made by day. (nm)

Makes me smile
This is beside the point, but I have an Asian friend who still refers to herself as Oriental (we're middle aged and that's the term used when we were young). - It is so refreshing to hear her do that, as I think all this politically correct stuff has gotten out of hand. Yes, some terms are just plain rude or cruel, but some of that stuff is just a big deal about nothing. I always smile when she calls herself Oriental. :)
Something to make you smile.
QWERTY ergo sum...I type, therefore I misspell.
I cannot claim the credit for this, but I thought everybody could use a little humor today. 
Here's a wry smile of agreement instead. NM

should be 'found' not 'round' (smile)
no wonder people did not want to go in there with buses -
I never heard this part of the story. If it is true, it would explain a lot.
smile and nod, or offer him a drink and tell him
nm
My Wal-Mart does this too. I just look at the lady and smile.
Once I was stopped and she rummaged through bags saying that I had set off a trigger of some kind. It caught my by surprise. Yes, it is offensive.
and now SadMT can be HappyMT!! *Smile*..nm

Understood. Sending a smile your way for a better day. nm

My 2 cents worth here (smile) ...
It's one thing to have a perspective as an MT, new or experienced, saying that the generalizations from MT Pundit are true or not (and I take his/her comments as generalizations, not true in every situation).
However, when you work with an abundance of both experienced and new MTs, it is very different. You really do see the trends being referred to in this thread.
For everyone who exclaims how adaptable they are but rant on and on, you probably are not as change-friendly as you think and it shows with your exasperated statements.
There are always exceptions to the rule but by and large what Pundit has said seems to be the overall trend in working with large groups of both experienced and new MTs.
I think offshoring has nothing to do with this. It is a separate issue altogether and will happen regardless.
I do think he/she has given excellent advice for those who want to hang onto this profession as long as possible.
It is much easier to go to the eager new MT minds and give instruction or feedback than to go through the arguments and backlash usually resulting from the same situation involving an experienced MT.
Glad I'm out of it!
more than a chuckle, a real smile -
I've been smiling for half an hour now (since you said it was just a line and not an insult). Thanks and have a good day.
i did, made me smile...i sure am pretty ;)

It's a smile. Tilt your head to see it more clearly.. No message..

A big smile and nothing but good news for the first 24 hours.
That's what men like best.
Happy to bring a smile! But if you prefer...
Disenfranchised US Transcriptionists? Which is more catchy, do you think? Disgusted...Disheartened...
It's the chat board version of a smile
:D is a wide open smile. :) is a regular smile.
And to the poster above it, who the heck made you the board police? Ella can post here if she wants.
A smile does wonders and it doesn't cost a thing. nm
be careful w/that oil - too much can cause problems you probably don't want to have.
haha
This is a joke, right? You endangered your 16--year-old by moving her in with a man, a crazy man at that? Are you serious? You obviously need some mental help for child endangerment.
Haha!
 
Haha!
Sorry, missed the last part of your post. Just cut her off and stop sending work. When she asks, tell her you didn't think she was interested anymore.
Right?! haha...
Maybe she should just go test if she thinks it is so easy. I bet she would get a rude awakening then.
Haha...well said!
This is only the beginning, not only for MTs...for professionals everywhere.
The other poster had a point though about our elected officials lining their pockets with the money that is being made. Go vote too! Vote for candidates who want jobs to come back to the US and not just ones who say they do, but ones who actually show it. A petition will only go so far. If you want to see change, you have to look even higher.
As far as choosing a different doctor, it is possible even with a limited plan and should be done by all of us.
Good job though...glad someone finally did it. :O)
all that PLUS, when I started 13 years ago, electric typewriters were still used (smile!) no message

I am sure she is kidding-it would be sick if it were real. Lighten up let a smile be your umbrella.
.
man, where did the "was" come from haha - sorry! (NM)
xx
Haha! the joke is on me.
I reread my post right after hitting enter and saw I spelled "their" instead of there! It must be getting to me tonight! Sorry!
If I would read, I would know! Haha

;D
Haha! That sounds great....
I need to have something to strap my butt in on those days where I get too distracted. :)
I will check that out...thanks.
Haha...I read it once and understood exactly
what she said. She didn't get the face lift.
