Oh good grief
Whoever started this, "It's your responsibility to look up an address" should be drawn and quartered. Leave the secretarial work for the person who gets paid by the hour.
Good grief
OMG! You have got to be kidding yourself here. First, Barney is Zipper, MQLover, Frankie Boy who ever else you accused and now she is MQ whiner? Listen to yourself. 
Good grief!!!
Reading these costs of living it's no wonder people are so grouchy all the time. I've always been pretty frugal...no mortgage, no car note, no credit card bills. Total expenses including food, probably under $1000 month, don't keep track. We spend a lot on eating out and just generally having fun. Simple 2 BR 1 Bath house on 8 acres, One Ford F150 that's 6 years old, one Dodge Ram that's 4 years old. Living just the way we like it...not having to worry about drowning. Not exactly paupers, total income around $7500/month.
oh good grief
lol
Oh good grief. (nm)

Good Grief!
The average Joe should be SO LUCKY to have a 6.4 or 4% decline in wages! Health care keeps going up and the doctors keep raking in the dough left and right. If you can't see that, there's something terribly wrong.
good grief!
 I hope you are okay. Did anyone see that show on the health channel last week where the little girl about 12 was trying to purge and put her fork down her throat and it slipped? The tines were barely seen in the back of her throat. Talk about scary!
good grief!
Don't you have anything better to be so judgemental about! Withholding help just because of the way someone *wrote* something! What difference does it make? This is a *forum*, not a federal document!
Good grief
I am very sorry to hear things are rough for you right now, and well wishes for you and your family.
You have always been so helpful here, and know that many of us appreciate your insightful take on the issues we all share as MTs.

Scary isn't it? I agree, I would "accidentally" forward to a higher upper. This is totally ridiculous.
Oh, good grief.
Why does everyone think that they should only get the type of work that they want? It is up to the employer to see that ALL the work gets done and sometimes you may have to do something you don't like. Granted, you should not have been told that you wouldn't have to do DS. However, to say that you were lied to is a bit over the top, don't you think?
With all the griping that goes on on this board about work going overseas, to sit here and complain about the work that you do get is non-productive whining.
Good grief!
Can't even imagine working without a spell check of some kind. Am wondering if there are programs that you can download on the computer you use...even having to re-download every day? Sure hope you can get it "fixed" -
Good grief--
It was meant as sarcasm-- I guess you didn't "get it". What I meant by it is why was HE worried about not speaking English when none of the ESLs give a rip.
Good grief you don't get it do you? sm
When this all started it started with someone posting about not wanting to work weekends, holidays, nights, when their kids were at a soccer game, blah blah.
You people have absolutely taken one post and stretched it all out shape.
I am neither bitter or miserable in my profession. But, the posters who whine about hours and days and no work when they want work are the ones who are bitter.
Seems to me the ones that are complaining about all that are the ones that don't have a positive attitude as you like to put it.
I am not on a pedestal and I don't think I am better than anyone. But, I also know what it takes to make it in this profession......a lot of hard work over the YEARS and willingness to hang in there. I see people on here who have been in this profession 2-3 years and have worked for 5-6 MTSOs! How the heck do you get anywhere job hopping like that? IMO you shouldn't even be working for an MTSO at that point.
I really don't care if you or any of the other whiners and complainers give a rip what I think. The profession is the way it is. Its not going to change to suit those who don't want to work and it may even get worse.
Get use to it or get out. Keep complaining about no work, no work when you want it, weekends, nights and holidays. Waste your time. I am going back to work.
As for myself and others like me who have done this for years, we will have a job when you are out looking for a job at Walmart. Personally I am glad, at least some of the whiners will get weeded out.
good grief
That sounds like a gigantic mess. I'm glad I bailed when I did.
Good grief!
IF you have your own company
IF you have good employees
IF you can find accounts that will pay well
IF...IF...IF
Just trying to figure out, as long as they're making claims, why stop at 60K?!!
good grief. ESL saying, "intermittent" LOL
Good grief!!! At least she uses a bb name, unlike...
those (yourself included) who only add a few words in the signature line and never use a "name" twice.
Geesh.
Good grief, you are way off the beam....sm
What is appropriate is that the patient's doctor asked for blessings over this patient's health. What IS inappropriate is *your* interpretation of appropriate and inappropriate. I sure hope you never transcribe my reports and become the filter for or against information that is put in my records!
Good grief. The point is that it
isn't 'whining' to state that MTs have to have much experience & knowledge, and there are a lot of physical effects and mental strain, and considering all of that, the pay is really lacking in our profession. Those are the facts. An IC at 8 cpl is AWFUL pay, by the way. Just because you don't think you deserve any better than that doesn't mean the rest of us feel that way.
Good grief. I hope you are kidding, please. nm

Good grief! Housekeeper in the South? SM
If you are set on housekeeping, I do know people who clean houses for a living and do very well. One woman even went on to own her own business. But in a HOTEL? I'm sorry to say this, but are you nuts?
If your MT skills need polishing, there are different tapes and courses and WHATEVER you can use. Perhaps someone here can assist you.
As another 50 something year old woman, who works for a National, so far I have made $30,000 this year. I realize that is not a lot of money, I'm not exactly busting my behind, but you can make money. Please stick this thing out. Housekeeping is not an option, except in one's own home.
Good grief, charlie brown. nm

Good grief, back to the future. nm

Oh good grief. Every company defines
lol
Good grief, hope it doesn't have too many changes sm
If so, we should get our money back on the 2nd, geez! Enough is enough.Some of the 2nd is wrong anyway, leave us alone!
Good grief...multiple personality disorder???
Good grief people, what;s up with all this drizzle stuff??
Good grief. You'd make an employment decision
Honey, you need to get a grip!
Come on, guys, its just a smelly old troll! Ignore her! Too much time on her troll hands!!

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.
Good grief, no. I'm not a mole. I'm not admin or mgmt in any form.
I'm not QA. I'm just an MT like everyone else on this forum.
I'm allowed to have my own questions and curious thoughts.
Good grief.. Fortunately ours is only chasing oncoming cars, so just

Good grief, you started this all. You should have just waited. Xanax to the rescue. nm

oh good grief. Haven't we heard enuf of this? Educated people are just
You are either guillable or you are top mgt flying a balloon.
I could tell you I will pay you a million bucks every pay period if you do 16,000 lines (which by the way 16,000 lines is almost impossible even on a good account and where they don't give you nothing but leftover dregs), but if there is no work there and they have overloaded the account with MTs, it's just so much BS.
I personally think you are just top mgt with your bunch of balloons. Many folks are leaving MQ and so are accounts. Well, that's the talk on the street and also what I'm hearing from other MTs. If you take a look at the internet you can see hospitals are taking their transcription back in house anyway.
See the world as it goes by on my carosol.
Close your eyes and make a wish
By the wishing well
Bright yellow "balloons" shiny and new
Play in the summer air
All these things I know are true

QA response to flying fingers
I know exactly what you mean. In the company I work for, there is 1 QA director which is in charge of 100% hold and then there are 7 shift QA people. I was told by the head QA person what a great job I have done and was released 3 weeks into QA. then begin to send to clininc with sending in docs with blanks and oh my god I am made to feel like my job is on the line at night when I sign off by these people. I was even told by one that if I though the doc was good enough with just a few blansk go ahead and send them in, and of course my check is still not here from the 15th, I guess we are just expected to keep up the typing with no pay and all the belittling we have to put up with. If I do receive pay today I am not going to type today. MY time is to valuable just to type for the heck of it.
flying BACK to Manhattan where I lived -
had to stay where I was for another two weeks until flights were scheduled to fly into LGA.
"content slob with flying fingers" ?? NM

Your post cracked me up! Flying Hotwheels! So funny!
My kids are teens, but still...I'm doing QA now, and I really need the house QUIET to hear every syllable every second! So, before when I used to "just" transcribe, all H*ll could be breaking out around me - TVs blaring - phones ringing - kids playing/fighting/arguing/singing, whatever, and only occasionally would I scream out "BE QUIET - I'VE GOT ONE OF THOSE DICTATORS"...and a hush would fall over the house...even the dogs would put their paws over their ears and hunker down. Then you'd hear my stomping on the foot pedal, huffing in disgust, and then after about 30 seconds, I'd yell "ALL CLEAR", and chaos would resume! Now that its QA, boy, they are experiencing culture shock. Now I've always got "THOSE DICTATORS"... so its been a few months now, and I've still not yelled "ALL CLEAR", and probably never will again! 
ROFL You're right! Truly! A flying monkey could do this with a little training!
You can get the training on the job as easily as anywhere else.
Like I said before, yes - MT schools will give ground work but it isn't necessary!
Wayyyy too many of us learned this without schools! ROFL
No degree, no certification, no license required!!
Best MTs I've ever known NEVER had "proper education" while those coming from MT schools NEVER got any better than their starting point!!!
ROFL
***grief (nm)

But don't you get grief for sending
too much to QA? I know I am only allowed a certain percentage, so I am still going back over the audio 2 or 3 times to try to stay within my allowed percentage (and why I have crap for production). However, I think it stinks that one could easily get a whole batch of dictations by the same nasty dictator and your sending-stuff-to-QA stats go down the dumper. And of course, the worse the dictator, the more he/she dictates and the longer they are, according to the MT Murphy's law!
I haven't gotten any grief yet....
as these particular ESLs are supposedly the worst in the hospital and I am sure many other MTs are sending their hole-y reports to QA. I am supposed to keep my QA below a certain percent and I do that 99% of the time because I only get these ESLs maybe one day a week, so evidently since I haven't heard from "Big Brother", I guess my sending-stuff-to-QA percentage is within the guidelines. What get me is that when dictating these guys stink, but just wait until they have to turn around to talk to a colleague. Then, they can speak perfectly.... That just makes me crazy !!!!!
Troll!
my original post regarding this is gone, so here I go again! In a nutshell, what I stated before...WOMEN should dress like WOMEN, girls like girls, etc. I am not saying that just because one reaches a certain age, thats it, no more sexy clothes, clevage, etc. I am saying, though, that WOMEN should not dress like GIRLS in order to look sexy and feel sexy. I am 36, and dont dress like my 14 YOD...and I look dang sexy sometimes. But, I dont wear booty shorts, belly shirts, etc, etc...personally, I dont think that looks good on anyBODY... no matter how small, tall, big, short you are...I guess my point is women should dress like women, not girls...dont know how else to say it... Good day...
Obviously a troll
or other troublemaker.
A troll?

Troll (SM)
Just ignore the troll, posters.
Information has been reported to AOL for violation of their Terms of Service.
These individuals who post in this manner are usually very bored, angry, friendless, and anti-social (as we can all agree upon).
They are here to simply cause problems. Just ignore them and they will go away out of sheer boredom. If you will report the posts, I will delete them.
Really, I truly feel sorry for someone who has nothing better to do, don't you?
