yes, by the 2nd offense they ought to be
of society, either permanently out of this world or permanently behind bars.
Sorry, no offense to you.

No offense was taken. I'm just sorry that your
experience with those few you have met has not been good. 
no offense
to the original poster, but tends to make you wonder why they send work to other countries.
no offense taken now that sm
I understand. I was not familiar until today that AHDI is the former AAMT. I have not read an AAMT publication in years. I don't particularly like their "core" values, politics etc. I was just doing the CMT thing for myself as well as other schooling/certifications. My way of coming back into the real world after a very devastating illness!
Don't worry about it really.
Take care
No offense but -
With all due respect, being able to stay home with one's children is NOT a perfect reason to become an MT. I believe there are certain personality characteristics, IMO, that one must have in order to be successful in this industry.
~First of all, in order to be a *successful* MT, one must have not only an excellent grasp of the English language, both written and spoken, but also an 'ear' for picking up and deciphering various other native tongues as well.
~On top of that, one must have above-average instincts and inherent skills for research, as this career requires not simply typing what you think you hear, but many times doing extensive investigation to make sure you are indeed hearing correctly.
~An excellent memory; the ability to recall the spelling of a medication or a syndrome or a genetic disorder without having to look it up each time it is encountered is invaluable in this field.
~Last but definitely not least, I feel in order to be successful in this field, one must have a keen interest in the medical field. These aren't simply words we're transcribing; they're legal medical documents. If one does not have a love of the medical field and an enjoyment of learning something new almost daily, this is NOT an appropriate career.
I'm sorry, but with all due respect, you choosing to enter a field simply to stay home with the kiddies is not enough. Without the necessary drive and willingness to learn, one is destined for failure. Unfortunately, it sounds as if perhaps you already have failed.
Please overlook any typos; I've been working 10 hours and my dinner is awaiting me :-)
No offense, but couldn't you have used
of your own? You could get one from another company, I'm sure, but would it reflect the information you need to know?
For example, if you need orthopedic MTs versus ophthalmologic MTs, asking which is correct in Tenon versus tenon or sub-Tenon verus subtenon would be important and might not be on a test you pull from someone else.
I could be wrong, but I'm wondering if you haven't had to do much testing personally that you wouldn't know what you would want in your own test??
No offense meant, but how do you know this? Again, I am not s/m
trying to be rude--this is an honest question. Is there someone we can read about these differences (production-based versus other)? Thanks in advance.
That is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am rolling on the floor with that one.
I saw that, and it's hilarious!!!
Hilarious!
Ha! That is the funniest thing I've heard all day! I remember way back when I first started as an MT, the surgeon had dictated what sounded like "slap reconstruction," so that's what I typed. It was "flap reconstruction!" Gosh, I'm sure glad the surgeon had a sense of humor and he read the document before signing it...hee-hee!
Those are hilarious! (nm)

That's hilarious!
You'd elect Bush all over again!  God help you! And you probably thought, and still do think, that Iraq has WMD. Hahahahaha! 
Have fun shelling it out at the pumps honey. Bush and his oil buddies count on people like you. 
you think everything is hilarious

Hilarious!
LOL, I didn't think of the fact people are named Ed...
OMG hilarious NM

Hilarious!!! nm

OMG that is hilarious! My DH's is too! sm
It never fails, he will start talking as soon as I step on the pedal. As soon as I lift my foot to try to catch what he said, he stops. Then when I think he was just making a rhetorical comment or something I didn't need to respond to, I will step on the pedal and he will start talking AGAIN!! This will go on for a couple of minutes, listening to the same little bit of dictation over and over, until I finally tell him to either SPEAK OR SHUT UP!
That is hilarious even though
EVERYTHING you said is true and very very frustrating, it was still sooo funny...especially, and I forget what number...the yawning issue...I always love to try and figure out what they are saying in the middle of a yawn.
You also forgot number 11...spell the word "the" but don't spell physicains names, names of other doctor's office or words that THEY can't even pronounce!
thanks for the laugh...I definitely needed a good on! 
No offense, but this made me laugh.....
Where do you live that you get polite customer service from McDonald's? lol. I'm lucky if they acknowledge me when they stick their hand out the window for my money.
OK. No offense back at you. I said it below. If you have an employer you are not an IC! Get your own
nm
?it's individualized to us? - that's hilarious. They
have quit and have sent them 3 resignation letters!!!!
It still surprises them when we tell them I DON'T WORK FOR YOU ANYMORE~!
NOT FOR 6 MONTHS!
OMG...these are hilarious...I think it's safe to say we all have
Hilarious! I know a few Earls. nm

This is Hilarious, ROFL. Sm.
This is rofl, for real

ah, seniors can be hilarious!!

Why would you take offense? It is the real world and it exists.
It is not meant to be offending to anyone, just an honest statement made by someone. Everyone grew up differently with different values and "prejudices" handed down to them, or "on them", and we as adults see that and try to correct it. Prejudice is learned, and I for one am learning how not to be prejudice!
Use high speed internet. No offense taken. nm

I have to agree with this..... no offense intended, but it is true. nm

No offense, but big deal. AAMT is NOT for the American MT.
o
no offense, but that really doesn't make any sense
6/cpl is 6/cpl and that's 3 cents less per line than 9/cpl.
You guys are hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!
.
quit being facetious - it WAS hilarious!!!..sm
get over it.....
even a huge percentage of the republicans are SO_OVER_BUSH!!!
Wanna a little advice? I've been at this for 10+ years and no offense, but I think you outta get an
I may be way off base here, but you've posted like 6 posts. One says your bored, one says you'd get more done if you'd stop watching TV and surfing the net, and one says you can't get motivated to work in the early morning hours.
And since you say you are a "new to work at home MT", I think maybe you lack the organization skills, motivation, and dedication it takes to be a successful work-at-home MT.
This is just some friendly advice. I am one of those people and after working at home for about 5 years and barely making ends meet, I recognized my weaknesses and took at job back in the office.
Guess what? I am posting this from my work. I am halfway through my shift, I have met my quota and earned incentive, and still have time to post this. Plus, I can still earn a little more incentive before the night is through.
Just a suggestion...
Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly. These mistakes should not have been made. I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you.
i do my job. i send very few reports to QA. Yet I take offense at the attitudes of editors.
Quit beitching. You don't like the whole package of MT editing, get out. And I rarely hear from editors, do not have low QA (been with the company for 7 years) so I have no reason to "hate" an editor. I just hate the attitude here. And now you are hearing from someone who does their job.
No offense, but your attending the meeting in Boston won't make
heads so far up overseas companies butts, there is no way they are going to change. AAMT might as well go the way of the Do-Do where the US is concerned. I heard that they were changing their name anyway. Why should any US MTs give a rats butt what AAMT thinks or does. The only membership they will have in the future will be offshore. I think it's high time for a new organization, one that doesn't suck up to offshore companies the way AAMT and MTIA does. Of course, my view will be taken as protectionism, which is absurd when my whole view is that jobs are being taken away from American workers and American's privacy is in jeapordy when dictated files get funneled overseas.
Uh yeah, in a debate there's usually defense and an offense. Hence someone is always "on the
defensive." I simply posted my opinion about non-compete clauses and my experience with an untrustworthy service and how I handled it and then I'm called unethical and unprofessional. That kind of puts me on the defensive, dontcha think? Kind of begs me to defend my actions... 
No offense, but you were unaware of the history of AAMT/AHDI
I would suggest that you learn more about the history and realities of these subjects before calling for a big strike or walkout. Credibility is an issue here.
OMG I can't see through the tears!!! Absolutely hilarious! Made my day...thanks!!!
This is hilarious! I'll be very careful submitting
NM
HAhahahahaha, that is hilarious! Thanks for sharing. I'm in stitches here!
k
Hilarious! Your post makes it buzz! nm
nm
I took offense at that too, but I chose to ignore it in favor of the issue of the post.
I figured if we made a big deal of that one word the focus would be taken off the real issue.
No offense, but your post didn't make any sense whatsoever.
Maybe you didn't explain it right, but I read and re-read and don't understand a thing you just said.
That's hilarious, hiring bonus. Everyone jumping ship?
nm
LOL...you're hilarious! It's mindless (harmless) fun, that's all. No biggie. NM
d
Hilarious name for a gay movie. Broke back mounting.
Gays love it. A play on words.
Can't wait to take my family.
