In Reply to: scare tactic ?? - and your point
Oh my gosh, scare tactic? Not at all. I just figure if MQ reads this board and they see there is gonna be a work-out/walk-out in October, they might think they need to do something too. I have had experiences with hospitals that I worked for trying to unionize and also have seen retaliation from the CEOs office.

some of my tactics
Mine is also disabled, but mostly lazy/bored. One thing I've tried is I got him cordless headphones and insisted he wear them when watching TV while I'm working - or else I'll work on speaker and turn it up LOUD so I can hear to work and we can both be miserable. When he pushes me to the limit with his random interruptions - I'll take the headphones off and put it on speaker to remind him I'm actually working. I also do this when I have particularly horrid ESL dictations - this causes him to have more respect for how hard I have to work. When all else fails, I punch out and inform him I am definitely losing money for each moment I have to spend talking to him, and that he can expect a few less groceries this week since his drama can't wait until I'm not working.
RANT - Its disgusting that grown men have to be told over and over that you are WORKING and you need to make MONEY instead of play pattycake with them all day while you both go bankrupt. If a man wants to indulge in traditional role reversal they need to take on the traditional role of the non-bread-winner and make the effort to make the breadwinner's life EASIER and more PRODUCTIVE (such as making MY dinner). This concept is such a challenge to them and it should not be. Mine whines that he is my "slave" since he makes me a meal once a day and lays on his butt the rest of the time. My days off are spent cleaning up his messes and doing mutual chores such as laundry. He often threatens to leave because I'm so "demanding" and I tell him to go right ahead, there surely must be zillions of people dying to take him in and provide him a car, so he can lay on his butt, make messes, consume mass amount of food and contribute nothing to their household but grief.

that would scare me too but obviously mom is either confident in her sm
driving skills, doesn't care, or hasn't experienced a loss to make her stop and think. i on the other hand have a 14-1/2yo who i let drive around quite a bit (although i wouldn't let a little child like that in there) but i am very confident in her driving. i choose to let her drive now as i feel the more experience she gets with me, the more experience she will have when she is on her own and the more confident i will feel with her skills/reactions. i lost my sister when she was 21 to a drug in a car accident so i am very leary when it comes to young ones and driving. i think the laws should be 18 or maybe 21, LOL.
I think it would be like the Prozac scare...
People susceptible are going be the ones who are in danger from it.
One of my BFFs from elementary school, who lost her 40-yo husband to lung cancer 2 years ago and yet was still unable to quit swears by Chantix. It finally got her off the cigs about 9 months ago for good.
Sounds like union tactics, dues and all.
.
They also use tactics based on "sale points" which tease the customer
to the specific area (such as a microwave for $25.00) and then consider that if the customer took 10 additional steps, he would see the microwave he realloy would prefer (say a GE for $69.00) and since the customer is so thrilled with the dirt cheap price of the initial microwave, he purchases the GE microwave which is ACTUALLY PRICED HIGHER THAN OTHER STORES!!!!
Dastardly!
I work an account that the doctor names scare you half the death, sm
all foreign names, but the voices are pure heaven - very clear and good enunciation, even the one that have a tangible accident. I feel lucky to have an ESL account like that.
I know a PA from South Carolina at a hospital I used to work at that would bring you to tears. ESL is not necessarily a bad thing.
